Today’s choice of sci-fi is Raymond Bayly’s “Shadow War Chronicles” (https://t.co/koLkGdm2eT). Book 1 is an exciting fictional work, so in our never-ending tributes to outstanding items in all the universes of speculative fiction, we’re not going to pass including this one on our lists. With this one, we discover a plot that is convincingly legendary in its literary virtues. If we assume you share our enthusiasm for a good book, you need to have a quick look at how fans reacted. We took note of the words from an obviously enthused reader, “In the past year of so I’ve given up on more books than I could count. I find that most books today either so much investment in time or are sloppy and uninspired. This book pulls you in quick while still having depth. I hope the trend in books steers more to the style presented in this novel where concise prose and well written characters wins out over overly complex webs of story arcs dumped onto thousands of pages.” If you’ve been kind enough to read our lovingly crafted review, you should go one small step further and get your own copy. If not, subscribe for email updates until we discover the next best thing since The Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter. Yes, we hope it’ll happen eventually.
