The First Shields in Shadow Reviews Are In…and Readers are LOVING It!

It’s been a week since the release of Shields in Shadow (The Silent Champions #1) and it’s been such an amazing experience!

The book got its orange #1 Bestseller and #1 New Release tag on its FIRST DAY, and has retained it ever since:

It has been ranking with some of the authors that inspired the creation of the story in the first place—Glen Cook and Joe Abercrombie:

It hit a higher ranking than most of my other series:

But the real thrill is reading the reviews and finding that people enjoyed reading it as much as I loved writing it.

Amazon Reviews:

“Once I started reading I couldn’t put it down. The characters are all defined, yet there is room for more backstory as the series continues. The action sucks you in and before you know it you’re left waiting for the next book.” – Kindle Customer

“With almost uninterrupted action, a very detailed universe, very complex characters and an excellently developed plot, this book deserves to be among the best in Epic and Military Fantasy!” – B.A. Leon

“Books that are filled with epic battle scenes are among my favorites and Peloquin did one helluva job! The small elite force reminds me of the band in Nicolas Eames’ Kings of the Wyld.” – Angel Haze

Goodreads Reviews

“You will get so involved with the characters that you become one on them, going along for all the action and suspense. You really need to read this novel, you will not be disappointed!” – Frank Geimer

“Well, the first book in a swashbuckler of an adventure and it did not disappoint. Started off with a battle and finished with one. I have to say engrossed all the way through. Roll on book two.” – Silver Surfer

“As I devoured page after page reading and wondering what was going to happen next , I realized that at times I was holding my breath. This tale of a soldier fighting for life and those of his comrades let alone their world, against all odds. The strange group of soldiers/warriors and a creature of myth… this is a must read tale. The strategy of war and the battles fought…this is my kind of book! Blood, guts, war, save the world and do it all with one group of legendary warriors.” – Carolyn

Even some of the lower-starred reviews are pretty positive:

(3 Stars) “A very well written military series. While I would say military novels are not my cup of tea I have to say the authors characters are well drawn and there is plenty of battle scenes to satisfy the most ardent military reader.”

(3 Stars) “Carefully written with sharp attention to minute details, Peloquin has created a treat for fans of the Military Fantasy sub-genre. If you’re looking for strategy and beautifully executed action, then Shields in Shadow is what you’re looking for.”

I’m thrilled to know the story of Aravon and his Silent Champions are connecting with so many readers. It was truly a pleasure to write, and it’s amazing to find it resonating with people who find something in common with these fascinating, complex soldiers.

If you haven’t yet, now’s the time to get in on this epic new adventure. The special discounted launch pricing of 99c will only last a few more days before I raise it to full price at $2.99.

Join the adventure now!
