This book is really very good. The pace of the story, the well-drawn characters, the attention to detail- everything is well done. The story is full of subtleties and allusions at every turn, especially for those who are familiar with the Bible. There were also hints of Celtic mythology and many historical allusions. All this richly layered depth gave me great pleasure as I read and added immeasurably to the story. It's definitely the kind of book you'd want to read several times to fully appreciate it.
Asulon is the first installment in "The Sword of Fire" trilogy, a Christian fantasy series set in an alternate midieval version of America. The second book in the series, Eretzel, has been recently published and I look forward to reading it as soon as I get an opportunity.
Mr. McGrath is an expert in martial arts, and his expertise is apparent in his descriptions of combat scenes.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys high fantasy with a Christian flavor. The book is available on Amazon, I believe only in paperback edition. Here's the
