A great book for me can be defined by its ability to immerse the reader in a world of places and characters that the author has created. This is true regardless of genre.

Having read the first book in the trilogy I was pleased to find the second book had recently been released. Under a Dark Star is a beautifully written story with a plot that had me believing that I was really there. The intricate detail of the writing draws you in and leaves you in no doubt of the authors knowledge of the subject. I can't wait for the next book in the series.
Under a Dark Star is a recommended read. ...more
