Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Hammer of Thor by S. Evan Townsend

This book is an interesting alternative history of 1930’s to 1950’s leaved with magic users.  


Joe Kader, not his real name as real names are prone to misuse, is an adept.  He has control over various powers and those powers are enhanced by talismans.  He is arrogant and thoughtless about lesser, those who have no magical abilities.   Adepts seem to be above mundane law and among themselves might makes right.  I enjoyed the way Townsend developed the character of Kader.  He showed a progression in the character that was enjoyable to read.  

The book covers a lot of ground and every bit is enjoyable.  The characters are interesting and don’t smack of comic book origins.   The mix of magic and technology was well done. The potential for a Jim Butcher type series is obvious.  

A little more polish and I think Townsend will be a major force in this type of book.     

I recommend the book.
