A Perfect Mesh
Anybody can take a mystery and throw in some magic or cram a romantic subplot into a shoot-em-up thriller, but it takes serious skill to truly blend multiple genres into one cohesive story. Robert Duperre has done that here.
Soultaker follows brothers Abe, Meesh, and Shade on an unforgettable adventure that has all the fantasy, horror, science fiction, and action you can ask for. The post-apocalyptic landscape is unlike anything you’ve seen outside your worst nightmares, and yet the ...more

DNF at 30% even though I only promised to give it to 25%.
Problem with this book is not even that it starts slow, because it does, OMG it does. The story eventually picks up speed. Only it was too late for me. Yes, there is a story there and there is a mystery and something sinister is afoot... only I don't care. The author failed to make me care about this characters. We are told they consider each other brothers, yet they constantly withhold vital information from each other, don't even talk a ...more

*** I was given a free eBook copy of this book, through NetGalley, in exchange for my honest feedback ***
Soultaker, by Robert J. Duperre, at its very core is a good story, though some of the other elements of the book may make that hard to see.
What I didn’t like:
The story moves slow in the beginning. Really slow. It’s not only the speed of the story either, it kind of wanders a little. I’m lead from place to place never knowing if anything that I’m reading is ever going to have a place anytime d ...more

Soultaker is a perfect blend of a variety of genre fiction or at least sub genres of Science Fiction. The setting is overtly post apocalyptic, complete with religious fundamentalists and desert landscapes, it has a techno fantasy aspect with the ostentatious guns and magical weaponry, but also the adventurous nature of a fantasy book. That coupled with a good portion of horror. The tale keeps the readers on their toes at all time and would clearly be categorized as a page turner. Duperre manages

I received a free copy via Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.
I had two attempts at reading hoping that it would improve but in the end I just gave up.
The story was slow and confusing, the characters were one dimensional and the storyline just did not improve.
This was not for me.

Disclosure: The reviewer received a review copy of this book via Netgalley.
I admit it: The cover art snagged me. It just looks like a thrilling sci-fi adventure cover. There’s one of the Knights Eternal in his armor, with his railgun, ready for action. Mr. Duperre’s writing lives up to the promise of the cover.
