After Moses Sanctum

After Moses #5

by Michael F. Kane

We’ve always heard that Earth was uninhabitable.
It was the greatest lie ever told.

Abigail Sharon. Shield Maiden. Right hand woman of Matthew Cole, Captain of the Sparrow. Paraplegic.

Exile.

After a run in with bounty hunters on Titan, her wondrous suit of powered armor has been damaged beyond the ability for anyone in the colonies to repair. Without it, the career of the Shield Maiden is over. But Matthew is the observant type, and over the years, he’s begun to put the pieces of Abigail’s past together. He knows where she came from. The place where we all came from.

He’s willing to take her back to get the repairs she needs. But going back means that Abigail must face the past. She’ll have to face the woman staring back at her from the mirror, the woman confined to a wheelchair, and know at last who she is.

Because the universe isn’t about to give either of them any breaks, and even on the forbidden planet, they’ll have more than their fair share of enemies.

About the author

Michael F. Kane cut his teeth on science fiction and fantasy. In fact, his first memories of Star Wars are his mother covering his eyes during the rancor scene. Later, he fell in love with the classics, Tolkien, Asimov, Herbert, and more. Somehow, despite the odds being stacked against him, he grew up to be a somewhat respectable human being. By day he's the music director at a mid-sized church, but at night he dreams of unseen lands and places man has never trod. Check out his website to stay up to date on his publishing adventures.

Reviews

[Tesca Michaelson · Rating 5 out of 5]

"The greatest works a man can take up are those that outlive his own lifetime. He can but make a start and let those greater than him carry the burden to completion."
"How many times has she carried his burdens? That was love after all. Regarding the other as worth more than yourself."

Eagerly awaiting the final book in the series. I don't think I've ever rated every book in a series 5 stars in my life but 5/5 so far down the line.

Privacy in full sight

The fifth adventure in this series, AM Sanctum takes the reader to a hidden place in full sight of mankind to repair The Shield Maiden of Mars. Along the way questions are answered and new questions are asked. This story runs in parallel with AM Virtus. Excitement is guaranteed. A clean read with strong moral values. I highly recommend it.

The momentum builds!

Kane’s ability to craft a series of novels that can each stand alone as compelling stories is surpassed only by his ability to weave them into a continuous arc that propels the reader through a grand adventure. And through it all, the characters stay true, asking the big questions without ever losing their connections with one another, or with the reader.

Let’s go!

This series continues to provide amazing storytelling as the overarching plot makes you have to keep reading for more. I am sad because as of writing this, Evensong is not yet published and I in dire need of some answers! If you made it this far in the series you don’t need me to tell you how good it is.

I cried at LEAST twice.

Easily one of the best science fiction series I've ever read.

Still can't believe you did that, though.
