Title: Hammerfall
Author: C.J. Cherryh
The Beginning: Distance deceived the eye in the Lakht, that wide, red land of the First Descended, where legend said the ships had come down.
The Friday 56: (from page 56) But she went veiled, and disconsolate, and brooded. Marak shared a tent with her and never had seen her face.
Comment: Great story and great science fiction. I love this author!
I keep meaning to read something by this author. I once had a writing tutor who brought a copy of 'The Pride of Chanur' into class and told us just how good the writing was in it! But as I'm not a huge adult sci-fi/fantasy person, I keep thinking 'next year'. I like the extracts here though!
ReplyDeleteI have read books by this author but not this book. I remember enjoying them but haven't read anything by the author for years. My book this week is Unholy Blue by Darby Kaye. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteVery intriguing. I have a book by this author but haven't read it yet.
