Galindra returns only to face a supernatural evil more powerful than any she has encountered before…
Dragon-shifter, battle mage and telepath, Galindra is a ForeSender, a galactic guardian whose mission is to protect the Continuum of Planets from all enemies foreign and domestic.
The story opens with Galindra saving a castle under siege only to be wounded by a vengeful troll mage whose curse puts even the wisest healers in the land to the test. Meanwhile, Havenwood is invaded by a fresh batch of Earthers whose ruthless ambitions threaten the delicate alliance between onworlders and offworlders on Planet Calistra.
As Galindra hurtles toward a long-sought reunion with her mother, the ancient and uber-powerful undead entity that was Dane threatens both Calistra and Earth.
“ForeSender Blade” delivers the kind of fun, high-octane blend of sci-fi and fantasy that I have come to expect from Adrian Murphy in this penultimate installment in the ForeSender Chronicles. Although the dialogue can sometimes be on the nose, and a few passages are weighed down with exposition, nevertheless, this novel shines through with crisp, precise prose and exciting, high-tech, sword & sorcery action that’s wholesome and clean enough for the whole family. Looking forward to the conclusion of the saga!

This series just keeps getting better and better! I raced through this book and won't be waiting long to pick up the next book, which also happens to be the conclusion of this very epic sci-fi/fantasy series.
While I've adored the worldbuilding from the start, this book is where I really started appreciating the characters and I've absolutely loved every moment spent with the colourful cast. Each one has me fully invested in their part of the story and I am absolutely loving how the very separate storylines are now converging on each other, promising a blast for the finale.
The vast scope of interconnected plotlines is worthy of George R.R. Martin, but what Murphy does even better is actually moving forward with the storyline and concluding things. This fourth instalment of the ForeSender series has so much intrigue and so many little puzzles to keep the mind occupied while it also moves relentlessly towards an epic conclusion. The final battle in this book and the concluding chapters, while epic and satisfying, have set everything up so I really need to dive into the final book as soon as possible because I really can't wait to find out what happens.
If you love the grand scale of A Song of Ice and Fire and the sci-fi elements mixed with fantasy of Star Wars, then you're in for a treat with the ForeSender series.

I am totally engrossed in this page-turning, epic series. Naylor, Foyle, Galindra, Salith, Barok, Ducati, Lafayette, Michelius, Rusty, Jones, and formidable foes from Books 1-3 make for an extensive cast of characters in the ultimate showdown for control over Planet Calistra.
Readers who love fantasy, space opera, mystery, and clean reads will love the ForeSender Chronicles. I CANNOT WAIT for Book 5! Hurry up Spring 2023!
