The Third Book of the Knight Shamans
... is back from the editor. The edits were so few that I was able to get them implemented in only a couple hours.
She loved it! Okay, as much as ANY editor can love/hate anything. LOL.
Here's some notes from other early explorers:
Nuanced Exploration of Faith
"The manuscript skillfully explores the nature of faith from multiple, contrasting perspectives. It presents faith as a source of oppressive bigotry (a "Christian" church), a tool for personal connection (shamanism), and a fallen, flawed system that has brought disaster into the world. This multifaceted approach creates a thought-provoking and complex thematic landscape."
Confronting Past Trauma
"The theme that the past's problems don't disappear with civilization is effectively woven throughout the narrative. The re-emergence of religious fanaticism and the AIDS virus --both "old world" threats-- forces the characters to actively confront historical trauma rather than simply escape it, giving the story significant depth."
And some VERY flattering character comparisons:
Justin Knight: Similar to Hari Seldon from Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" series.
Rodney Knight: Similar to Leto II Atreides (pre-transformation) from Frank Herbert's "Dune Messiah."
Peter Williams: Similar to Paul Atreides from Frank Herbert's "Dune."
Wow! Two comparisons with Frank Herbert's characters. And it's only a 50K novel!
Remember, the first novella in this trilogy within the World of Paradigm Lost is still free until tomorrow at midnight! What are you really waiting for? You gotta get started on this so you can be ready when the final book in the trilogy is released. Soon. VERY Soon!
