Voidfarer

A sorcerer must lead a resistance against evil alien invaders in this epic fantasy take on War of the Worlds.

"Imagine Alexandre Dumas's account of H.G. Wells's Martians invading Terry Prachett's Discworld. . . . A vibrant, thoughtful, spectacular, adventure-drama." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

At first Wayfarer Inspector Danolarian thought the huge oval thing that had fallen from the sky was a dragon's egg. When it opened, however, he knew that it was much, much worse. His world was being invaded by pitiless sorcerers from Lupan, who could sweep whole armies aside, and even defeat the invulnerable glass dragons. Surrender or flight were the only options . . . but not for Inspector Danolarian, his Wayfarer Constables, and his sweetheart, the sorceress Lavenci.

Although Danolarian is no sorcerer, he's no ordinary Wayfarer either. Faced with civilization crumbling around him, and organized resistance shattered by the invincible magic of the Lupanians, he chances upon an unlikely ally and begins to fight back. It won't be easy, for he must rally the demoralized sorcerers of Alberin, organize its terrified citizens, stay one step ahead of his own past, and, most importantly, survive a dinner party with Lavenci's mother.

"One very fun novel." —The San Diego Union-Tribune

"Vastly entertaining. . . . Fans of Terry Pratchett will likely get a kick out of this book, as will readers who are tired of seeing the same things over and over again in fantasy novels." —Romantic Times BookReviews
