About the author
Alan Spade
47 books61 followersAlan Spade worked for eight years for the press, reviewing video games. In his youth, he acquainted himself with the classic French authors, while immersing himself in the works of H. P. Lovecraft, Isaac Asimov, J. R. R. Tolkien and Stephen King.
That wide range of influences is reflected in his style, simultaneously approachable, visually evocative and imaginative.
Alan likes to say that "a good book is like a good old pair of shoes: you feel at ease inside, comfortable."
The Breath of Aoles is his third book: previously, he wrote a fantasy novel for two years, between 2001 and 2003, but after submitting it to publishers, he decided the story wasn't good enough. He didn't try to publish it anymore. Then he wrote a Science Fiction short stories collection, and then, for six years, The Breath of Aoles.

I don't want to write this review... No words I choose will convey just how awesomely awesome "Marinopolis" is!
Alan Spade's writing is, as usual, up to a standard that all writers should aim for.
The story is exciting, interesting, and amusing (in parts).
Absolutely loved it!
