They Thought They Knew How The Universes Worked—
THEY WERE WRONG
In the almost two centuries since the discovery of the first inter-universal portal, Arcana has explored scores of other worlds . . . all of them duplicates of their own. Multiple Earths, virgin planets with a twist, because the "explorers" already know where to find all of their vast, untapped natural resources. Worlds beyond worlds, effectively infinite living space and mineral wealth.
And in all that time, they have never encountered another intelligent species. No cities, no vast empires, no civilizations and no equivalent of their own dragons, gryphons, spells, and wizards.
But all of that is about to change. It seems there is intelligent life elsewhere in the multiverse. Other human intelligent life, with terrifying new weapons and powers of the mind . . . and wizards who go by the strange title of "scientist."
"Packs enough punch to blast a starship to smithereens."
—Publisher's Weekly on David Weber's "Honorverse" series
"It is impossible not to be entertained, delighted, even enthralled by this splendid piece of storytelling."
—Booklist
". . . an outstanding blend of military/technical writing balanced by superb character development and an excellent degree of human drama . . . very highly recommended."—Wilsin Library Bulletin

Product ReviewWill buy the sequel. Like Harry Turtledove's Darkness Series, this examines war from all sides. It is also the first in a series, so much time is spent covering basic concepts such as Gifts and Talents.

Product ReviewWeber delivered. Although he delivered his infodumps as well... :-) I don't mind them but they can ruin the flow sometimes.

Product ReviewOverall it was a good story. The author has a few quirks which distract from the story overall. There were entire pages that I skipped over to get back to the plot. I don't want or need a extremely long detailed description of how something works if it doesn't add to the plot. These descriptions distract from the story.
