Malaran
A starship comes. The first in 500 years. The first since the Fall of Man.
An enemy comes to conquer the refuge world of Nuevo and to subjugate all of humanity.
A mystical order of warrior priestesses has prepared for this day for five hundred years. The Order of Calista has studied the arcane powers of the Void, the cosmic and subatomic forces. They have trained in the combat forms of the ancient Agema, elite shock troops and praetorian guard of the Emperor of Man. Yet now they hesitate.
Malaran, a young acolyte in the Order, yearns to stand against the invader, but ancient secrets and hidden agendas threaten to engulf her. She must balance her own ambitions with her duty to her royal family, to the Order of Calista, and to all of humanity. All of her training, all of her mystical powers, may not be enough to prevent another catastrophe to fall once again upon mankind.

WOW! That's really all I can say about this book. I cannot believe how vivid the imagery is and how descriptive Momb is. From the very beginning, I knew this was a book that I would not be able to stop reading. You know right from the start that you are reading a wonderful story of science fiction and fantasy. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I could visualize every single moment. If star travel, cosmic energies, and the idea of telepathic surveillance appeals to you, even remotely, this is definitely the book for you. Momb concisely details every aspect of what you should see while reading.
I think this book should get much more attention. I can see this becoming a movie or even a TV series real soon. I just don't want to miss it when it does. I think of Dr. Who, Farscape and Firefly when I read back over some of the book. This is just a different feel. I would put it in the category of those shows, but it is its own story.
I will be reading this one again. I will also recommend it to a few people. It's worth the read. You will not be able to put it down, so it will go fast.
