“Child of Fire and Blood, Part One: A Rising Storm” is an excellent mixture of high fantasy and science fiction. The novel is centered around Lar Kwa, the lost prince of Alban, and his determination to reunite and rebuild his fragmented lands. The tale mixes the high fantasy staples of dragons and wizards with the science fiction commodities of cybernetics and other forms of advanced technology. The novel allows these to mingle together in a natural way, describing an advanced society in which magic still exists and holds great power.The characters within the book are very well-developed, and the dialogue and action move the story along at a brisk pace. The description of the scenery rivals that of Tolkien, and the attention to science fiction realism is on par with Roddenberry. I would strongly recommend “Child of Fire and Blood: A Rising Storm” to all fantasy and science fiction lovers, and anxiously await the next installment of this amazing, epic storyline.
