Space Fever is an entertaining space opera about four brothers trying to get into the asteroid mining business. One is a retired master sergeant, one is an over-the-hill pilot, one is a computer expert, and one is a high-stakes gambler. When the gambler is captured and taken off-planet by mobsters, his brothers set out to rescue him. The dialogue is lively if you don’t mind a lot of anachronistic pop culture references, and the action keeps you turning pages, with some pauses for detailed descriptions of firearms. A popcorn read. 3.5 stars.… (mehr)

Wow! This is a really cool fantasy series! I was impressed how the author just pulls you into the story and plops you right down into the world of The Five Kingdoms. I became attached to the characters fairly quickly and I was whisked away into the wizard world of this story.

The story is about a young man that finds out that he has magic powers and he doesn't know how he came to have these powers. Things escalate real quick in the story as there are wizards that call themselves the Torr that find out about the young man as they can feel his powers and they are wanting to capture him.

So then it begins, the adventure of the young man with his father and his friends as they try to flee the wizards. The story picks up pace and keeps moving a lightning speed all the way to the end of the book. Can't wait to read the other books in this series to see what happens next. Five stars for this one.
