Bureaucrats can be infuriating for the simple reason that there is nothing they can do to help us achieve our end goals. When our desires go against the “established order” or we find ourselves up against red tape, the classic bureaucrat antagonist is inflexible. Worse, there are petty bureaucrats that use their lim...

In the Days: A Tale of the Forgotten Continent
(Literature & Fiction)

updated Mar 10, 2014 08:25PM
Description:
The Empire of Atlantis: the most powerful nation in the world. Peace reigns across the continent, and an age of prosperity and enlightenment has made the Empire the center of the globe.
But, beneath the peaceful façade of life in the Imperial City, trouble is brewing. Assassins lurk in the shadows, intrigue abounds in the court of the Empress. Will political ambitions topple the House of Tah, or could the threat be one much more sinister in nature? Dark forces threaten the land, and the future of the Empire is at stake.
One man is shown a glimpse into the future--a future that could be, or the future that is destined to come?
This is the tale of the last days of the great Empire - the Empire that the world forgot. This is the story of Atlantis, in the days when it ceased to be.

"This book begins with some exciting action. The main character, the Hunter, is hanging by his fingertips to the edge of a high mountain. He is on his way to confront the most evil and possibly the most powerful demon he has ever encountered. But f..."

"This is number 4 in the series and I have to admit getting better with every single one. How the Hunter survives is truly baffling. Highly recommended."

"The Hunter never waivers in his goal of wanting to keep Hailen safe. This turns out to be a more difficult task then he could imagine. Betrayal could come at any time and from any direction as he tries to juggle the Sage and Warmaster at the same..."

I thought that was quite a unique twist on the classic "scrappy resistance fighter" trope.

I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed the characters--Isla, Cassius, Clarice, William, Munin (such bad-ass names, too!) A whole lot of snark, bitingly cynical attitudes (very much fun), and anti-heroes in a world of morally grey characters. This book was a ...more |

The Hunter is still the character, and he will remain the same. For now, nothing but the titles and covers will change.

“The gods are nothing more than the creations of humans needing something to blame for their problems.”
― Andy Peloquin, Blade of the Destroyer
― Andy Peloquin, Blade of the Destroyer
“The gods are but aspects of an unknowable divine power. Humankind has given them faces and names in an attempt to understand the power, and thus we have created the gods as we now know them. What was once something vague and indefinable is now rationalized into a concept humans can grasp. In our worship of the various aspects of the gods, we have transformed those aspects into the gods themselves.”
― Andy Peloquin, Blade of the Destroyer
― Andy Peloquin, Blade of the Destroyer
“The simple man needs something beyond himself to blame and credit for the bad and the good. If we were to accept all the blame and credit upon ourselves, it would be more than we could bear. Looking back at the horrors perpetrated in the name of the gods, our minds would shatter. This way, with the gods, mankind has a way to ease its conscience.”
― Andy Peloquin, Blade of the Destroyer
― Andy Peloquin, Blade of the Destroyer
“I must point out...that now is a good time to have these gods. For if they weren't created for a time like now, when the world could very well be facing an untimely end, why would they be needed at all?”
― Andy Peloquin, Blade of the Destroyer
― Andy Peloquin, Blade of the Destroyer
“Priests are meant to pass on the word of the gods, minister to the poor, and provide the services offered by their temples. No one said anything about being holy. Not even the gods are truly holy.”
― Andy Peloquin, Blade of the Destroyer
