Alan Baxter’s new book, “MageSign” continues the story of Isiah, the superhuman defender of balance, from “RealmShift.” As the book begins, Isiah is trying to track down the Sorcerer, the man who taught Samuel the blood magic, but the Sorcerer is one step ahead of Isiah. Isiah still has his role doing the work of the Balance, but it’s made clear to him from the beginning, that he’s on his own for this hunt.

MageSign by Alan Baxter, is a fast-paced ride through a visceral reality which holds a mirror up to today’s apathetic society.
This is the sequel to RealmShift, which I enjoyed reading, but had enough issues with to mark it a 3/5 on the Amazon scale of reviews. MageSign scores an easy 4/5 on that same scale. Although Baxter drops enough background story to make this more-or-less stand on its own, I recommend you read RealmShift first – it will add to the overall experience.

Gorier than Realmshift which made me turn away in some chapters. Definitely dark fantasy in this one! Loved the cinematic ending. Visual and visceral writing.

A double edged sword
One of the nice things about social networking is being able to interact with authors, talk about their work, or indeed just chat about life in general. I enjoy reading Alan's twitter feed, and blog. The downside to building a connection(however superficial) with a writer, is that when you come to review their work, it can make your job as a reviewer much harder.

MageSign by Alan Baxter
MageSign by Alan Baxter is the second volume in a duology that began with Baxter’s RealmShift. The character of Isiah must pursue a personal vendetta with no assistance, or direction, from the force he usually serves, known as the Balance. MageSign is a fast paced ride through the depths of darkness a human soul can hold. It builds in intensity with a mystery involving a dark and twisted cult that leaves you longing for more, while building a deeper sense of dr More...

Being the second book in a set, I expect more from the story and the author...and I got both.
We return to Isiah three years later. Nothing much is happening in his life, so he decides to check out something that had been bothering him since the death of his old enemy, Samuel Harrigan. What starts out as a simple errand type job, becomes a nightmare filled with gods, sorcerers, demons, witches and a ninja type figure that proves quite a distraction.
