About the author

Award-winning author T.N. Baldwin is an Australian who dreamed of writing a novel when he was a tiny boy in primary school. As a tiny man, he made several unsuccessful attempts over the years. Then, one fateful day (October 14th, 2018) he woke with... THE IDEA. He began writing that day. Four months later, he completed his first draft. Over twenty drafts later, he had the first novel ready for release. And The Magicium Series was born…

An English/Drama teacher in his former life, he has lived and taught on three continents. These experiences have broadened the horizons of the boy who grew up in western NSW and Queensland in Australia. Today he lives in NSW with his wife and children – along with two dogs he pretends not to like. In his spare time he plays football and cricket, as well as listening to hard rock music. He has released five novels so far: Discoveries (winner of the Literary Titan Gold Book Award), Disruptions, Disciples, Disintegration and Dissidents. His sixth novel is due for release in 2023.

Reviews

[Book Reviewer · Rating 5 out of 5]

In Disasters, the sixth installment of the Magicium series by T.N. Baldwin, readers reunite with Logan, a once unremarkable student from The Rock who has returned as a battle-hardened hero. Baldwin masterfully continues the saga, weaving a narrative rich with magic and mythical creatures in a world teetering on the brink of survival. The scarcity of food and the need for a new refuge drive the plot forward as Logan, with allies Carla and Blessing, strives to keep every survivor, human and Clearblood, safe.

Baldwin's skill in character development shines as we witness the evolution of Logan and his companions. Disasters diverge from it's predecessor Dissidents, not just in the challenges they present but in their exploration of unity and conflict. The characters must navigate their divergent views and find a way to coexist and survive, creating a dynamic interplay that adds depth to the narrative.

The Magicium series, and particularly Disasters, will appeal to adults who appreciate a well-crafted fantasy world. Baldwin's storytelling is both accessible and engaging, making it an excellent choice for both long-time fans of the genre and those looking to delve into fantasy for the first time. Disasters doesn't just continue the story after Dissidents; it expands the universe and deepens the reader's connection to the characters and their plight. As the series progresses, Baldwin's talent for creating compelling, intricate narratives becomes increasingly evident.

Through vivid storytelling and well-rounded character evolution, Baldwin not only continues the beloved Magicium series but elevates it, presenting themes of survival, unity, and conflict with a deft hand. This installment is a compelling narrative that invites readers to ponder what happens after 'the end.' For those who appreciate the art of fantasy storytelling, Disasters is a journey well worth taking. I eagerly anticipate the next chapter in this captivating series.
