Infinite Limits

The Limits #1

by J.C. Bell

For centuries there had been only silence . . .
The Rift remained still as glass; a pitch-black mirror that when gazed upon showed only the reflection of one’s soul, and the emptiness therein.
Throughout the silence the races slept, dreaming of an age past -- a history of horror that slowly faded to legend, and slower yet into myth.
Then the Rift awoke . . . and their dreams turned to nightmares, nightmares into reality.
From its pulsating maw spewed the infinite, undead legion assembled from the farthest reaches of a universe in ruins. With only one world remaining in their conquest – one last flicker of life in an otherwise darkened universe -- the full might of the Dark Army descended.
Hastily assembled, vastly outnumbered, and utterly unprepared for the evil that comes, an army of races must stand against it; . Alone, the Guardians of the Gate will surely be swept away.
But they’re not alone. While the races slept, the gods planned. They created . . .
After the passing of ages the powers of their children, their Chosen, have come to fruition. Their godlings wield the Oneness, the very power that gave birth to the Black Door. Yet still it will not be enough . . . to defeat the Void it will never be enough.
Thus the gods risked everything. They created another; a new power – his gifts born of the Void itself. A boy not only capable of ending the Dark Army but the very world in which he lives -- along with all those he loves.
As the battle for the final world unfolds, the gods cannot help but wonder, would this be their final failure?
Would their savior grow to become the Destroyer?

About the author

J.C. Bell began writing at a young age. His first short story, Peter and Poon, was a disgusting, offensive, pornographic piece of filth. Unfortunately, his English teacher had no knowledge of its content and read it (thankfully, only the first paragraph) in front of J.C. Bell’s sixth grade English class. Peter and Poon gained immediate attention from the Middle School Principle, various faculty members, and of course, J.C. Bell’s parents. Despite J.C.’s growing popularity among his fellow students, Peter and Poon was a disaster.
Remarkably, J.C. Bell’s English teacher managed to set his anger and humiliation aside. And through the ordeal, he somehow taught J.C. to respect reading and writing. After finishing the first two books of his required after school reading, that respect became love.
Hundreds of novels later, and that love continues to grow.
Some would even argue that, since Peter and Poon, J.C. Bell's writing has somewhat improved.

Reviews

[Jacquel · Rating 2 out of 5]

The first book in The Limited series. A tiny planet holds out hope in a darkening universe.

Infinite Limits was too simple and naive. I often got bored and had to force myself to keep reading. The premise was good, but Infinite Limits got waylaid by tired tropes.

Most of the time it felt like characters were just explaining things to each other for the whole book - meanwhile, not much was going on in terms of plot.

The characters were two-dimensional and lacked depth. I struggled to empathize, relate to, or care about what happened to them.

Infinite Limits was a slow-moving, go-nowhere story that I rushed to finish. It felt like work to read.

The settings in Infinite Limits were difficult to visualise, and there wasn't much world-building. Action scenes were hard to follow and lacked purpose.

The prose was awkward. The descriptions were sparse. When the author did describe something, it was bland and lazy, using cliche-ridden, dumbed down prose. There were many typographical and grammar errors that took me out of the moment, and the cover design and page layout were poor.

way too much too fast, I was interested in this book but within the first 30 pages or so it threw a bunch of characters and situations that were too haphazard just could not read much more
