Felix the Fox is a failed magician (not his fault he couldn't pay tuition and got thrown out), a discharged legionary (honourably discharged - even if the dice were loaded), and a full time investigator of crap no one else wants to touch.
Assaph is just the guy putting words on paper for Felix.
I’ve read an d enjoyed the previous books – now it’s time to finish the series 🙂 What to Expect Shattered starts soon after Hunted (the previous novel in the series), with Granuaile getting a call about her father which takes her to India, and Atticus bringing his recently-revived former archdruid Owen up to speed […]
I’ve enjoyed the first two parts of this trilogy (Orconomics and Son of a Liche), and was eagerly looking forward to the grand finale. What to Expect Pike started the Orconomics series as a deep satire, on both fantasy and economics. This continues in this vein, though the focus shifts more toward the epic (which […]
Though it’s been a while since I read the first book of this series, I was in the mood for some light entertainment and this fit perfectly. What to Expect Another D&D-ish adventure for the band of heroes, this one leading them to chase an evil artifact that a whole town into zombies. Naturally, they […]
My last post every year is about reflections of the year just passed, and the tone I hope for the coming one. This past year has been… eventful. And not always in a good way. I’ve learned a lot, but many were the days where I was wishing life would finish up with the lessons […]
A bit of a twist on the paranormal detective, a genre which I generally like. What to Expect What starts as a noir detective quickly moves into a bizarre world, more Alice in Wonderland on a bad acid trip than your typical paranormal detective. As the blurb says, John Taylor isn’t really a detective, just […]
While digging around my hard-drive, I found this old meme someone sent me ages ago. Naturally, I wanted to share the chuckles with you, my loyal Felix fans! But with my son learning about Roman numerals and me editing In Victrix (and making sure chapter numbers are correct), I thought it a great opportunity to […]
This novel was all the rage a while ago, with rave reviews and an interesting premise. Took a while, but I was in the mood for something different. What to Expect A literary work on a sci-fi backdrop, telling a romance. It’s an epistolary novel, told in the exchange of letters between two operatives – […]
While I was rereading my own novels as a prelude to finishing In Victrix, I was reminded of an old adage about genres: Mystery is solving a crime, while thriller is racing to prevent the crime. Horror is watching the crime happen (If anyone knows the origins of this quote, please tell me!) We are […]
It’s, err… been a while since I read the first Thraxas novel. I did enjoy it, but didn’t get to the rest of the series till now. Still, the time is right for a quick and fun read. What to Expect Another case – actually several, interconnected – for our grumpy investigator. He just wants […]
As mentioned in a previous post (the one with cats), in an effort to restart my writing habit and complete In Victrix I have re-read all my previous works. The idea is to get back into the world, and ensure a smooth continuations (culmination?) of the series. Below are some observations, for the benefit of […]
