In the dark, distant future, densely populated hive cities rely on ancient technologies and rigid laws in order to endure.
Once a scion of a noble House, Paric Silver arrives on Aegea V as a newly ranked militant-savant, hoping to survive his first war. With the theater on the brink of being overrun, he battles forces on both sides of the line.
Appropriate for Adult and Young Adult readers with a taste for dystopian science fantasy.
Rory Surtain stepped into the world of independent publishing in 2020 and hasn't been able to find his way out since. When he tires of writing, he edits, and when he tires of that, he publishes. Writing is an art and a long learned skill where each book is better than the last.
Surtain resides in Texas, enjoying the gulf coast clouds, the people, and the diversity of spirits and great cuisine.
As with any indie author, your kind participation and candid reviews are always appreciated.
I never thought I would enjoy a sci-fi war drama as much as I enjoyed Primaris. It's intense and hits you right in the heart at times. The political elements added a wonderful edge that kept me guessing as to how it would all end. I loved it. Bravo!
what makes this different from most fantasy-sci-fi? lt is its heart. But as far as I’m concerned, the emperor has got to go. (and why are both dead brother’s names Ram?) There are two series so far from this prolific author and I suspect they are related somehow. But even if they aren’t, it’s worth it to reread them just for the fun of it even if I never manage to figure it out.
Another interesting book in the series. The movement and action of the main character draw the reader in. I'm sure the next book in the series will be just as good. I'm curious to know what happens next.
Paric's back with style. He's got his bodysuit and leather coat, and won't let anything stop him. (He's still missing the muscles and long hair though). Jokes aside, this is a great book and the pacing, as with the previous ones, is excellent. The danger feels real and the atmosphere is consistent.
Sarkyss and the last battle weren't that memorable, though. I barely got a feel for him, and I can already feel the memories of the encounter fading away. Hawn, on the other hand, is still pretty fresh in my mind.
