Of War and Consequence: The Consortium Chain, Book One (Volume 1)

-Winner of the Summer 2012 Pinnacle Award for Best In The Category Of Science Fantasy-
"the prose is even pungent and pithy"
"the feuding warriors engage in plenty of action-packed battles"
"Intriguing storylines, creatures and weapons"
-Kirkus Indie Reviews
"Medieval-era parallel universe full of airships, tunnels, mystical minerals, warriors with
regenerating body parts, and endless wars fought across the churning waters of the Sea of
Regrett."
"the story is good, the characters fairly interesting, and the setting both unique and colorful."
"confusion over whether the good guys are all that good is fueled by their actions
after a battle when, as Martin explains, "Revelers picked up appendages that lay around the
gates, and children gathered hunks of flesh; these were all standard practices for the embattled
people of Banthyk.""
"Martin has set the
stage for further events to unfold"
-ForeWord Clarion Review
