The origin (prequel) story of the Coheed and Cambria's epic series "The Amory Wars." Welcome to the worlds of Heaven's Fence, where a lattice of mysterious energy known as the Keywork binds and sustains life on a triangular network of planets--from the bleak and hellish Howling Earth to the spare beauty of Bendelesh. Beneath the Keywork's glow, under the governance of the twelve grey-skinned Mages and the watchful gaze of the winged Prise, humanity goes about it's daily life unaffected by the goings-on of the higher powers at work in the universe. Until the day when the ambitious Wilhelm Ryan, newest member to the brotherhood of Mages, acts on his growing discontent at being branded another ordinary Mage, ruling over one lowly Sector. Shrewd and silver-tongued, Ryan launches the Mage Wars: a devastating campaign to win control of the entire Fence and take on the legendary mantle of Supreme Tri-Mage, a position likened to God himself. Dr Leonard Hohenberger, the Fence's top scientist is summoned by the Prise to stop Ryan, and thus Coheed and Cambria are born, and put into a battle to save Heaven's Fence.… (mehr)

I'm honestly not sure what to say about this book. It's definitely not something that a non-Coheed and Cambria fan would enjoy unless they have very low reading standards. It's written poorly, particularly when it comes to descriptions of action or internal monologue. The dialogue is a bit better, but still cringe-worthy at times. It's hard to say how much of the book Claudio directly had a hand in. My suspicion is that he handed off the story in screenplay format and thus wrote all the dialogue but none of the prose. If that's the case then it's really sad that he couldn't have found a better co-author because Peter David's prose is pretty terrible throughout, marring what would otherwise be a very exciting and entertaining (if not particularly thought-provoking) story.

Still, as deeply flawed as it is, Claudio's singular vision shines through and makes this a poorly written, but still entertaining book, especially the last third. It was the first Coheed and Cambria fiction I've read, and it filled in a lot of holes about the world of the Amory Wars for me. I've heard the comics are way better and, after reading this, I am actually extremely excited to read them.

TLDR; Worth forcing yourself through if you're a huge Coheed and Cambria fan and want to know more about the world, or want to know the setup for the comics before reading them. If you're not a big fan, it's probably not worth your time. ( )
