The Witch Roads by Kate Elliot

The Witch Roads by Kate Elliota

  

This is the beginning of a series, and it looks to be a real winner.  In a world of Pall and Spore, El is trying to keep Kem alive and well.   El is a Courier which means she travels the countryside delivering messages and watching for Spore.   She and Kem overnight in a set of Spires.  The Spires are towers that can be found elsewhere but the ones El overnights in are the most complete she knows of.  These specific Spires have an array of statues that may contain a Haunt and that is where the fun begins.  

 

Elliot is unsurpassed in her world creation.  She populates it with interesting and complex characters. The set is carefully staged to draw you into and immerse you in the carefully crafted plot.   There is abundant action along with thought-provoking scenarios.  

 

I highly recommend the book and can’t wait for the next volume.

Paradigms Shift, Worlds Collide!

A daring and resourceful paleontologist uncovers something at the infamous K-T boundary marking the end of dinosaurs in the fossil record – something big, dangerous, and absolutely, categorically impossible. It’s a find that will catapult her to the Martian moon Phobos, then down to the crater-pocked desert of the Red Planet itself. For this mild-mannered fossil hunter may just have become Earth’s first practicing xenobiologist!

A new hard SF thriller from best-selling alternate history master Eric Flint and ace game designer Ryk E. Spoor.

Sub-Majer’s Challenge by L.E. Modesitt, Jr.

Once again, Alyiakal, succeeds when carefully maneuvered into situations that are designed to see that he fails.   An ethics-driven officer in a country led by a consortium of unethical leaders, Alyiakal’s successes are startling to all of his foes and accepted as normal by his consort, Saelora.

In a male-dominated society where misogyny is accepted as normal, Alyiakal, supports Saelora in her decidedly non-feminine pursuits in trade.  This support leads to a bond that transcends normality, especially when Saelora and Alyiakal discover secrets from Alyiakal’s past.

Modesitt crafts a detailed and believable world in all his series.  The Saga of Recluce comprises twenty-five volumes, spanning from 1991 to the present.  It is well worth your time to read all of Modesitt’s work.

I highly recommend this book.
