| This is a political allegory cloaked in the form of a novel. It blends humor, satire, and the strange sensation of viewing human society through a wizard’s magnifying glass. In some ways, it resembles Gulliver’s Travels, with the notable exception th ...more | |

Ah, nothing like a good old-fashioned tale of sky pirates, homicidal immortals, dark humor, and existential despair to warm the soul. The pacing is brisk, like being chased through a collapsing cathedral, one of the many disasters featured in the nove ...more |

| Sword, Cider, and Other Distractions is a pseudo-historical fantasy set in a fictional yet easily recognizable version of the 18th-century Balkans and Ottoman Empire. The novel has a good start – clever, engaging, and filled with subtle humor and a D ...more | |

| The world is falling, though we don’t really know why – until the end of the story. A Scarred Drifter is a gripping – and harrowing – emotionally rich post-apocalyptic novel that stands out for its realistic portrayal of survival in a collapsing worl ...more | |

Liudmila Brus's review
of
Errant (Chronicle of the Seer, #1):
"Errant is a gripping tale of political intrigue, revenge, and the pursuit of justice. Reminiscent in tone of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, it offers a tighter narrative with fewer storylines, making it more accessible without sacrifici"

| Keyholes is a conceptually interesting but pacing-challenged Sci-Fi read. The novel centers on a fascinating premise: a physics experiment gone awry opening a portal to a parallel Earth where dinosaurs never went extinct. The story follows two brothe ...more | |

“Politician? Me? Do I look like a big mouth with large pockets?”
― Io Deceneus: Journal of a Time Traveler
― Io Deceneus: Journal of a Time Traveler
“It’s the end of the day, but it feels like dawn, and a new beginning. It comes to me that both twilight periods are, in fact, symmetrical events on opposite sides of midnight, a cycle of endless creation and destruction, an Ouroboros.”
― The Shamans at the End of Time
― The Shamans at the End of Time
“When the fight ends you can afford to relax. That’s the worst part. Winner or loser you have again eyes to see around you. Blood, butchered bodies, bodies pierced by arrows. You stir inside, your heart tightens, the feeling of loss wells up. The sense of smell is the next thing to revive, adding a new dimension of pain. I closed the eyes of the last cadet, blue eyes, unseeing, his body, so small, almost a child, the youngest cadets were all gone, their faces surprised in death. Cold lips never able again to kiss a girl. It’s then that the emptiness swallows you and you mourn inside. Damn you, Scharon. No! Damn you, Travellers.”

“The war had started a long time ago, before their great-grandfathers were born, and there were many stories about why and who had started it; the truth becoming lies, then truth again, then lies again; history twisted like a snake, changing on the whims of each new ruler.”
