The Machinists #4
Capture
The magi order is at war… and losing.
The Knights of Rakkar, an ancient enemy thought long dead, have stolen the Blood Wand—a magical artifact capable of imbuing people with magical abilities. With it, the Knights' strength grows and the magi's greatest advantage disappears.
The once disgraced McCollum Family fights on the front lines. After suffering a terrible defeat, Allyn McCollum knows the magi forces must change their defensive strategy. The only problem is the magi leadership doesn't agree. Going rogue, Allyn defies the will of the magi Forum and sets forth in a desperate gambit to turn the tides of the war.
If he succeeds, salvation is at hand. But if he fails, the magi's worst fear will be realized, and their existence will be exposed to the world once and for all.

Magic meets modern
Craig Andrews weaves a great mystery. He deftly moves you to emotionally invest in the characters and believe the story concepts of magic being born of natural elements. Love, loss, family and for all woven together in a modern setting. Can hardly wait for the next book!

It was a great book
The continuation of the struggle between the Knights and the Magi. The poor of view changes often enough that you get a full experience of events. Now I want to re-read the first three books.

Excellent Read
After reading the first four books, I can't wait to read the next one. Never a fantasy book fan, loved Craig's storylines.
