If you’ve enjoyed Larry Correia’s Monster Hunter International series, then you’ll love Hard Magic, the first of his series set in an alternative 1930s America, where for just over seventy years (since the 1860s) magic has begun to manifest in random people around the world. Some become stronger, others can walk through walls, and still […]

2013-08-27 · by ·
As part of Utah Book Month, we’re spotlighting Utah author Dave Wolverton. You can find other posts–including spotlights of other Utah authors, book reviews, book giveaways, contests, and more–related to Utah Book Month at Utah Books.

Review | Nightingale by David Farland
2013-08-26 · by ·
If you like sparkly vampires, this might be a good segue to more serious fantasy, without giving up all the juice of a good teen romance. If sparkly vampires make you blanch, then you have nothing to worry about. Nightingale, though occasionally dark, is an enjoyable and satisfying story. The worst thing about Nightingale, to […]
Review | Cry Havoc by Keith G. Seegmiller
2013-08-21 · by ·
Every now and then I get lucky. Someone–a publisher, an author–sends me an ARC, a beta edition of their book, or a new release, and I get to be one of the first people to experience a book, to read a new story. Cry Havoc: Book One of the Havoc Journals is just such a […]
Author Guest Post | James A. Moore on writing Seven Forges
2013-08-16 · by ·
SEVEN FORGES, my latest novel, is a sword and sorcery story. Before Robert E. Howard came along and wrote stories of Conan the Barbarian and King Kull, the genre of sword and sorcery fantasy didn’t even exist. Most of the tales along those lines had been fictitious adventures set in a more realistic version of […]
Advance Copy Review | Seven Forges by James A. Moore
2013-08-09 · by ·
Seven Forges is a roaring adventure, full of larger than life characters and cultures, in a world full of exotic peoples, magicks, and gods. And it’s a violent world, too, full of political intrigues, deadly diplomacy, and treacherous allies. Moore’s the story adeptly raises the stakes and dangers from every direction. If you’re looking for […]
Review | Into the Void by Tim Lebbon
2013-08-07 · by ·
Thousands of year before the Jedi were the guardians of peace throughout the galaxy, they were the Je’daii, a caste of warrior monks based on the planet Tython and confined to just one solar system. Not unlike Obi-wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, they roamed the system, keeping order among the disparate peoples that call the […]
Review | The Sum of All Men by David Farland
2013-08-01 · by ·
As I said in my review of On My Way to Paradise, I don’t know how I missed Dave Wolverton back in the late 1990s, but I’m sure it had something to do with starting college, doing more homework and reading fewer novels, and, probably, girls. Whatever it was that distracted me at the time, […]

Every October the dangerous, blood drinking water horses called capaill uisce (CAP-ul ISH-kuh), emerge from the sea onto the beaches of Thisby Island. Many men from Thisby and a few brave souls from the mainland capture the horses and attempt to train them to ride in the famous Scorpio Races that happen in November. Some […]
