Rating: 5 out of 5

This is not your average sci fi story, and it's not your average fantasy. Somehow, Patrick has managed to blend the two genres into an incredibly unique story that will grab you by the seat of your pants and rip you through the cosmos on an epic adventure through space and time. We're introduced to an entire world of characters that range from the heros of classical mythology to modern day heros and villains that bring this story to life.As for my personal review, I enjoyed every page of it. You're not quite sure what's happening as the book starts off, but as you keep going all the pieces start to fall into place and you're treated to a twisting plotline that always catches you off guard just when you think you have it figured out. I haven't read anything from Patrick Hatt before this, but I'm pretty sure this is apart of a series and I plan to pick up the rest of them just as soon as I have a free day for reading (I never get to read as much as I'd like, due to work, family, etc.).But even though this is the first book I've read by him, I'm already pretty sure I'm going to be a big fan. The writing is fast paced and exciting, and the sheer breadth of imagination that you get in this book is head and shoulders above most of the so called fantasy novels that are coming out these days, which are really nothing more than sappy romances set in the middle ages. Maybe there's a dragon or two, but they come across as the most cliched "stories" every created. As you might be able to tell, I'm not a huge fan of fantasy. Well that's not true, I am, but I've been a little disillusioned to the idea that any unknown writer will put out something in the genre that even approaches some of the great fantasy stories of the past.Now with this book, I can feel a little bit of my faith returning. It's not often you just randomly stumble across such a fantastic Kindle novel from a writer you've never heard of, but I'll usually give something new a shot, and I'm glad I did. If any of the other books in the series come close to living up to the splendor of this one, I'll be happy.Do yourself a favor and check it out. It's a great story that merges science fiction and fantasy into a single universe.
