Space and hard-boiled detective fiction. I love it. Kevin Bragg gets right in there and gets things moving. This rocks and rolls like a freight train. Buy yourself a ticket.
Travelling the world chasing after a stolen treasure, Whymer fights monsters, pursues dangerous bandits, and discovers just how far a "simple" stonemason’s apprentice can reach.
What if you were useless and your family gave you away to a sorceress? What if the sorceress refused to teach you magic? What if your amazing friendship with a dragon earned you the wrath of a god? How far would you go to fight for your friend?
How did I not notice Kevin Bragg's "Transilience" for this long? There are so many wonderful books hiding out in the dark corners of inkshares, and this one is among the site's most wonderful. From the very first handful of pages, it's clear that the author's sci-fi vision of this unique noir story will be enthralling. Bragg's descriptions are expertly crafted, whether it's the walls of a bar on Mars, or the woman that brings the proposition to the story's hard-boiled protagonist, the brilliant writing in "Transilience" immerses you completely in its narrative. I'm at this story's mercy, yet gladly along for the ride.
Transience grabbed me right from the jump. I get the sense that the hardboiled detective set-up belies what is to come. Kevin Bragg's writing is crisp, entertaining and creates wonderful pacing. There are fantastic futuristic nuggets dropped in that enrich the Martian environment - and I never once questioned their plausibility; I just nodded along thinking, yes, that makes perfect sense. I will be reading quickly, anxious to see where Transilience takes me.
Embark on an adventure that leads Maxan, a cunning fox, to uncover technological marvels and truths about his world that will forever change the fate of all species, be they animals, or mankind itself.
