Deadly Fruit

About the author

Tom Larcombe was introduced to fantasy books at a young age. Those that were aimed more at children hooked him in, but not well enough for him to remember their names at this point in his life. Their draw led him to books aimed more for the adult reader and so he found himself, at around age eight, starting in on the Steven R Donaldson 'Thomas Covenant' series and the Hobbit, followed shortly thereafter by The Lord of the Rings books.

His reading tastes have never looked back, although they have broadened to include science fiction and the occasional non-fiction book.

He lives in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with his wife, two daughters, three cats, and a variable number of chickens.

Extremely well-rounded main characters and an interesting series.

I have really enjoyed getting to read about the main characters and the interesting, unexpected direction of the storyline. More Sponsored System, please!

Passion Fruit

This series is a passion for me. I love integration stories and this is an excellent contribution to the genre. The growth progression is realistic and well founded. The fantasy aspects are fun and well explained. Overall I really enjoyed this offering.

Awesome Book 3

WOW can a series get better as it goes along? Yes it can and has done so in this 3rd book. I’m heading back to book one to read all of them again. I can’t wait for book 4.

Great book

Stellar work once again from Tom Larcombe! Lots of action and adventure, magic and monsters. Looking forward to the next one!

a bit slow

Methodical, almost plodding. Not a lot really happened to move any underlying plot forward.

I will likely get the next book, but this isn’t really a ‘must read’.
