Title: Starship's Mage by Glynn Stewart
Post by: Beersatron on October 18, 2019, 09:38:10 AM

i have read a number of Glynn Stewart's series and liked them all so I decided to give this one a try too.

It is a very well done merging of sorcery with science fiction which I initially thought I would dislike, but I ended up devouring the first book and immediately buying the second.

He does a good job in this series of balancing threats and protagonist power.  While Damien continues to grow in power, he is balanced by quantity / quality of opposition as well as the political constraints of the background.

I have enjoyed the series as well. The world buiilding of the technomagic background is quite nice as are the slow build up of clues for future events and disasters. To be fair I have enjoyed his other military-sci-fi books as well so if you have enjoyed these books may be worth giving the others a chance
