The King is dead. In a coup for power the Razium, aliens to the planet of Partha Terra and once allies of Federation spit on their oaths of peace, assassinated the King, and now have turned all their technological might to search for his son the young prince. The prince like his father is a Mage or Lok, and the last of his kind able to reopen the magical gates known as the Labrynthian. The prince has disappeared and with no clear leadership the world of Partha Terra has been thrown into conflict. One of the few remaining Spartan Paladins, warriors of the Kings Guard survived the assassination. Bloodied, alone, and driven by his honor and duty, the Spartan searches for the prince. He must overcome his troubled past, as well as his uncertain future if he is going to find the boy, much less protect him from the Razium’s wrath. This is an epic adventure with friendship, combat, and romance as we follow the prince to unravel the mysteries of the Labrynthian, and the Spartan as he searches for the prince to see if he truly is, The Lok.
I have been closely reading and sticking to one of my favorite authors, R.D. Brady who writes awesome books. My second most awesomest author of course is Emma Lynn (ok my daughter). But I have to say I have grown to add a new favorite author here with Tommy Rice.
I didn't think I would like this style of writing and typically stick to sci-fi mixed with real life facts...The LOK is a new area for me and I really was drawn to the story line and how the writer set up the book. I did read it twice and it was better the 2nd time around.
Take the time and check out this book as I think you will be surprised and the ending is explosive!
This is exactly the right mix of sci-fi, fantasy, and steam punk I was looking for. The worlds Tommy Rice have created in this book are richly-detailed and imaginative. This book could have benefited greatly from a professional copy editor, as the mechanics of writing are pretty rough throughout. If you can overlook that, though, you're in for an exciting tale of adventure and magic.
