The company enhanced Brice. They promised him action and adventure. But he’s stuck on a malfunctioning craft, with a crew who treat him like a child. He’s miles from home, in the worst storm of the season, and night is falling. And in the shadows the creatures wait, their hunger growing. The company prepared Brice for many things, but nothing can prepare him for what he must face when the shadows fall. Shadowfall is the first book in the Shadows series, a dark combination of science-fiction and horror.
Married, kids, job; the usual stuff. But there has to be more. Music, and books. Especially books. Fuel for the imagination, energy for the mind.
When I was younger, I’d go outside ‘to play’, but I’d take a book with me, find somewhere to sit, and read. I can recall holidays not through what happened, but through the books I read at the time.
But it’s never one-way. All those stories, all those ideas – they ferment. They build up, and they need a release.
TW Iain is the part of me that acts as a release valve. TW types away, crafting tales to put out into the world. There are Dystopian thrillers (the Dominions series) and sci-fi horrors (the Shadows series). And then there’s the short fiction, in anthologies and on twiain.com.
The website also allows an output for various musings on books and anything related to them. But mainly, there’s the fiction—the stuff already out there, the stories in process, and the ideas that may, one day, grow to become new stories.
And all these stories (the ones I write and the ones I read) spawn new ideas, which ferment and grow into their own stories.
It’s never-ending, this writing thing. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Wow. That is all I can say about this book. It kept me on my toes waiting to find out what came next. I was left wanting more and I am very eager to read anything written by this writer. This book had everything I like in the fantasy genre. It was well-written with a lot of character and world building. I would definitely recommend this book.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
