A work of splendid imagination and superb storytelling prowess The Lodestone science fiction series by author Mark Whiteway is more than just science fiction, it is science adventure. A story fraught with adventure, action, and science, the entire Lodestone trilogy is included in this fantastically put together omnibus which overall, turned out to be a captivating, imaginative, and entertaining read.Taking place in an alien world distressed by oppression, a group of unlikely heroes are drawn together to end the tyranny of the “Prophet” in the ultimate battle of good against evil to save their world. The adventure begins when Shann the story’s young heroine becomes immediately involved in their efforts by aiding a stranger who unbeknownst to her already a part of the growing efforts to save her world.As a fan of science fiction, I really enjoyed reading The Lodestone Trilogy; the series is well-devised mix of science fiction and science fact that immediately lures readers into the saga.  What really works about this read is the author’s ability to blend the common elements of a science fiction saga into an uncommonly good read, which is a relatable, palatable read, not bogged down by overzealous science fiction ideals and progresses at a consistently engaging pace. This omnibus was a worthwhile read and I definitely recommend it to all science fiction fans.
