What is your opinion?
Promising series debut!
"Woven throughout Dungias' adventures are interludes containing glimpses of the agendas of mysterious entities all over the author's vast universe. As the agendas unfold, the reader is invited to ponder several ancient mysteries, consider how one life measures against another, and wonder who the real ‘bad guy’ is. These additional players and unanswered questions firmly remind the reader that the scope of Reiter's universe is large indeed and promise that there is more of this science fiction epic to come."
A great way to throw yourself into outerspace!
"A Rollicking Good Time! Non-Stop action that barely allows you to catch your breath before you’re thrown into the next dance with a completely different partner. StarChaser becomes the fulfillment of his destiny, while along the way to raising your blood pressure in the good way a roller coaster does. And just like a coaster – BAM!! You slam into the end wondering how the hell the ride ended before you even knew the end was coming. Heart break, emotional bruising and incredible characters that wrap themselves into your dreams after you force yourself to put the book down for the night. Just try not to throw the book across the room!"
Tony Alexander - Great Book
"Dungais born into a noble House , but a social outcast because he lacks the inherent racial ability to generate different forms of Energy. He makes up for it with his quick wits and technological Knowledge. He suffers heartache and celebrates triumphs to help his people and fulfill his destiny. To do so he must travel thru multiple dimensions and the vastness of space attracting friends and enemies to fulfill his destiny to become a Star Chaser. The story is very well written, the story sucks you in and makes you feel you are part of the story. There is a depth and richness to the characters that you don't find in a lot of books. The plot has several twists and turns that will keep you guessing and wanting for more. The action is fast paced and keeps the story moving smoothly. I highly recommend it, once you start you will not want to put it down until you finish it."
What a Sci-Fantasy Book Should Be
"I'm not going to go over the outline of the story (that's irrelevant), but what I will address is the overall quality of this book. Because it's got it in spades! I'm an avid reader, a life-long sci-fi/fantasy fan, and a female - and this book delivers on all the levels I'm looking for. It really is the real deal. In picking up this prelude (and I can't wait for the rest of the series!) I was transported to another place & time - but one so fully fleshed out that I never once felt like I couldn't believe what was going on. It felt rational, real, and relatable while still being completely fantastical. Everything in the writing of this prelude feels huge - but contained... like the deep breath before a scream, or the calm before the storm, or the pause before the gunshot sounds in a race. In the tradition of long-running series (Wheel of Time, Sword of Truth, etc.) - you just KNOW that this series is going to be EPIC... and bring you along for one hell of a ride. As a huge sci-fi/fantasy fan, I'm well familiar with every wanna-be hack writer saying that their work is "Star Wars meets Lord of the Rings"... but in this case - I can actually say the claim (if made) would be justified. It's got all the action, suspense, magic, powers, conflict & pathos that you could hope for in a series like this. One big difference between those stories & this one? WOMEN. Though the lead character (and most of the major players) in this prelude are men, there are (hold on to your hats) actual legitimate female characters. They aren't arm-candy, or need rescuing, or serve as place-holders or set-dressing. They're vibrant, talented, and as complex & varied as the males of the story. Killer Action, Non-stop Story, New Realms to Discover, Engaging Characters, Outer Space... Honestly, what more could you ask for?"
