In terms of world-building I was reminded of Frank Herbert’s Dune, and here’s why. So Shadow of Honor would be categorized as a sci-fi/fantasy read or, as the publisher would say, “a space opera.” In style and in some content, this book reminded me of the original Star Wars trilogy (the ones starting with what’s now called A New Hope) in that it’s got wonderful characters who are up against a wicked force that is MUCH more powerful than they. I even became interested in some of the characters who clearly needed more personal growth. I loved its characters Isaura, Eija, Marco, and even Dak ‘Ti. I haven’t read one of her books yet that I didn’t want to get to the ending as quickly as I could! I felt the same way about Shadow of Honor. She is so gifted at creating characters and storylines that the reader can deeply engage with. Only by uncovering the truth about an ancient conflict now shrouded in deception will she find her place.įaced with her true identity, Eija sees her purpose snap into focus, and she realizes the war Marco fears may be the very one he has been called to start.įirst, I always love Ronie Kendig’s stories.

On board the alien dreadnought, Eija Zacdari flounders, torn amidst military machinations, prophecies, and an inexplicable bond with one of the fearsome creatures who have imprisoned her friends.

Does he leave her to fight Symmachia alone, or risk bringing an unwinnable war to every planet in the Quadrants? In them his bonded calls to him across lightyears. But his dreams betray that singular design. Held captive, tortured by monsters of a nightmarish alien race, Marco Dusan clings to a final goal: keep these beasts from the Quadrants, even if it means orchestrating his own death. The war he fears may be the very one he’s been called to start. Genre: Christian Science Fiction / Space Opera Protecting her-and his heart-is another story.⇒ Purchase Link – #ad or Purchase via link As everything is falling apart and threats mount against Brighton, Stone realizes forgiveness is the easy part.

Hope lost, she’s unexpectedly freed-and thrown back into Stone’s life. Years later, she is used by her captors to take down the best man she’s ever known. Supermodel Brighton Buchanan had designers and men eating out of her hand until a terrible mistake trapped her in the soul-eating world of human trafficking. However, one phone call from an old Army buddy upends Stone’s best-laid plans. Humiliated and furious, he retreats to his mountain lodge to hide from media hounds and eke out a new life. But a foolish lapse in judgment dismantles his name and career. Stone Metcalfe embodies the Metcalfe legacy-blue eyes, an unfair amount of good looks, and hardcore patriot-laced character.
