Thanks for the thread, hermetic.

It is different than his Sigma series in that it is a fantasy (for lack of a better word). In the vein of Tolkien, etc. I liked it very much, especially the fantasy beasts / animals he has created. Some of the human characters are interesting too. My only complaint is that the 'bad guys' seem to anticipate every move by the 'good guys', and are always hot on their trail. As this is book one of the 'Moonfall' series, the ending is the prelude to book two. Also, there is much death, sadness, and sorrow in the ending, so be forewarned.
