Comments

Mark Thompson: Interesting and fun read, with a different perspective and approach to an otherwise familiar story line. Well worth your time

RazorEdge: Something different, a story well thought out. You might find it here, give this one a try. I think you will enjoy it.

Bernhard: Das einzig wirklich schlechte an diesem Buch ist, dass es nur eine Länge von ca. 200 Seiten aufweist. Ein echter Page Turner in einem der spannendsten Settings, das ich in letzter Zeit gelesen habe! Die Handlung entspinnt sich frei nach Arthur C. Clarkes drittem Gesetz („Jede hinreichend fortschrittliche Technologie ist von Magie nicht zu unterscheiden") auf einem beinahe verwaisten Außenposten irgendwo im Universum. Im Sinne von: die überlegene Gründerrasse trifft auf die wieder ins archaische abgedrifteten Nachfahren von Kolonisten. Die innerlichen Kämpfe der Protagonisten und deren Begleiter werden hervorragend und schlüssig herausgearbeitet. Auch bleiben bis zum Schluss viele Fragen offen und man weiß eigentlich gar nicht so genau, was konkret die Bedrohung nun war. Doch das stört insofern nicht, als der Lösungsansatz in sich wieder glaubwürdig bleibt. Auch weiß man nicht so recht, ob sich der Roman nun irgendwie in den Kanon der Tchaikovsky'schen Buchreihen einfügt und quasi einen unbedeutenden Nebenschauplatz darstellt oder nicht. Das könnten vermutlich eingefleischte Fans beantworten.
FAZIT: ein wirklich spannendes und kurzweiliges Buch,...

Grigory Nudelman: Unexpected in every way, this book surprises with its unusual narrative and ultimately human message of hope. Diverting and fun.Well done.

United States on Jan 24, 2024

Edwin Mathias: Who would have thought that a tale featuring two protagonists doomed to never fully understand each other, could be so satisfying?!

Definitely worth a read.

India on Nov 26, 2023

Pibbsworth Zwischenlanken: This is a beautiful, heart-wrenching fairy tale told from two viewpoints: an abandoned wizard / anthropologist; and an impetuous princess / savior.

MHHC: Not a long book. Interesting. Sort of a sketch. Late human on an outpost with the natives. Science vs magic. Then along comes Oblivion from Elder Scrolls. Hah. Wish the book was longer and more revealing. So not a complaint, just left me wanting more. Of something. But very good as far as it went.

Kindle Customer: I loved this book from start to finish. It mixes the best bits of futuristic sci-fi technology set against the backdrop of a medieval world. The clever juxtaposition of language between these 2 world's says a lot about what we learn and understand over time.

Customer o Kindle: I'm brand new to Tchaikovsky and I can see why he is so well-loved! Elder Race creates an interesting, well thought-out world with just enough detail. The pacing, plot, and narrative are super polished. The difficulty of communications across a Sci-Fi to Phantasy gap is an interesting wrinkle and I like how it is handled. The characters are more sketches than fully realized personalities, but overall the book left me wanting more, so fair enough. I appreciated the story's lack of a torturous romance, and even more so the lack of gratititous cruelty that many quest tales seem to lean on. I can live with ONE reformed thief missing a few fingers if cutting and beating each other doesn't define the whole breeches-wearing post-tech culture in a lazy shortcut. No Leering Landlords, hooray! I will certainly be reading more from this highly accomplished and respected writer, and it looks like I will have plenty to discover.

Lourie Sanchez: A formidable story for upcoming writer, I love the dual forms of description from different perspectives. Amazing I highly recommend
