About the author
Shaun Strydom
3 books3 followersI write with a clear, immersive style that invites readers into my worlds from the very first page. My stories are rooted in hope, following men and women who often feel unprepared for the challenges ahead—yet, through different forms of strength, they rise to meet their destinies.
A lifelong storyteller at heart, I’ve drawn inspiration from a rich mix of books across countless genres, the emotional pull of films and series, the worlds of video games, and the cultures I’ve experienced through travel. With my debut novel Amber Glow, I realised a dream I’d carried for years—to build my own universe, create unforgettable characters, and follow their journeys from first breath to final chapter.
I have a deep love for all things science fiction, post‑apocalyptic, and fantasy, and I pour cinematic atmosphere and emotional depth into every story I tell. Born in 1986 in South Africa, I live in Randfontein near Johannesburg, where I continue to craft stories that invite readers to get lost—and perhaps find a spark of hope—between the lines

The story is outstanding; the “creatures” were very different compared to what I usually read, and the way they were created was exciting. You will live through the lives of the main characters and experience their emotions: Terror, sorrow, hate, hope, and happiness.
It felt like I was part of their lives, and after finishing the book, I felt a personal loss because it had come to an end.
The humour was well done, even in the situations they would find themselves in.
The descriptions of the setting were well done, and you would know precisely where everything takes place.
This is a recommendation from me.

I really enjoyed reading about the different characters and their stories. There were some truly emotional moments. It was a nice experience to follow Niki’s journey and see how this world shaped her.

An overall enjoyable book. The main points of contention being the robotic dialogue - which is not how humans would converse. The narration is good and keeps the story flowing.
