4.0
Scott Toney is a talented writer, and this book just proves it: genre is a difficult thing to master, and in this cross-genre adventure, Toney has proven that he is a deft hand at manipulating the conventions of genre to his own devices.
Part science-fiction, part high-fantasy, NovaForge brings us to a world of superpowers, killer robots and just enough imagery from home that it keeps us guessing. Between the angelic Julieth and the man-of-faith Samuel present us with a discussion of faith, hope and higher powers, all in a world that is not quite our own.
Discussing the plot in any detail is a disservice to Toney's meticulous plotting: suffice it to say, I'm intrigued by just how much is going in this novel, and it seems like he has only touched the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this story.
As the first book in a trilogy, I'll definitely be back for more.
