WarSpell: Air and Space #2
Freedric's Airplane: Life is what happens when you’re designing your airplane.
This is the other side of the Jerry Garman merge from Space Race. It takes place in a rough analog of 14th Century England.
Freedric the Incompetent—now with the memories of Jerry Garman an aeronautical engineer—want's to build an airplane. I almost named this "Life is what happens while your designing your airplane, because a bunch of other stuff keeps effecting the building of the airplane. Three of the other players in the game also Merged Alvin the Bard, Pip the thief, and Yahg the half orc. Each of the Merged characters brings something to the table. Yagh and Pip bring financial and general knowledge. Alvin merged with an electrical engineer as well as Freedric's aeronautical engineer. The inventions they develop disrupt the late middle ages society they find themselves in. When the airplane is finished and flies; well that just adds more fuel to the fires of change.
The Kingdom Isles the game world equivalent of England is in a war with Parise the game world equivalent of France.
It's not my fault. The designers of WarSpell were pretty slipshod when it came to naming gameworld countries. I think they did it on purpose. Back cover Copy
Freedric the Incompetent wanted to build an airplane. He wanted to prove that he wasn't the abject failure as a wizard that everyone thought he was. It should have been easy. With the Merge he got the memories of Jerry Garman an aeronautical engineer. Things started getting complicated almost immediately. Alvin the Bard who had Tim Walters' memories needed a place to stay. Pip the thief with the memories of Betty Cartwright, and Yahg the half-orc warrior with the memories of John Kipler, had broken into Brian Royce's house.
Yahg wanted to keep a low profile. Pip wanted money to pay off her debt to the thieves guild.
Meanwhile the Kingdom Isles were in a war with Parise and Freedric hasn't even considered how airplanes are going to effect that.
Then there are all the other things that they know how to do that no one in a fantasy world has a clue about; gunpowder, sanitation, steam engines, printing, and, the list gets pretty long.
This book is full of murder, theft, politics, romance, economics, and more. When all Freedric wanted to do was build an airplane.

Another Huff/Goodlett treasure
Interesting characters, lots of action.
Another Warspell/Merge book. It helps if you've read others, but not necessary. In this story we focus on how the Merge world characters change and grow. And how they change their economy.
I wish that the Federal Reserve could read this book.

Another Warspell Story
This novel is rather the other side of the story told in the Warspell novel Space Race. Here we meet the other side of the merge which started that novel and see one way that technology could topple many ways the existing magic based culture does things.

Ah! Another find addition to War Spell world.
The skill of the writers is impressive and commands attention in a most pleasing way. The complex puzzle piece fits nicely into the War Spell world.
