Synopsis

Paradise Lost

In the future there is no want, no war, no disease nor ill-timed death. The world is a paradise—and then, in a
moment, it ends. The council that controls the Net falls out and goes to war. Everywhere people who have never
known a moment of want or pain are left wondering how to survive.

But scattered across the face of the earth are communities which have returned to the natural life of soil and
small farm. In the village of Raven’s Mill, Edmund Talbot, master smith and unassuming historian, finds that all the
problems of the world are falling in his lap. Refugees are flooding in, bandits are roaming the woods, and his former
lover and his only daughter struggle through the Fallen landscape. Enemies, new and old, gather like jackals around
a wounded lion.

But what the jackals do not know is that while old he may be, this lion is far from death. And hidden in the past
is a mystery that has waited until this time to be revealed. You cross Edmund Talbot at your peril, for a smith is not
all he once was. …

Goodreads review by Samuel on March 31, 2015

I really enjoyed this. The premise is excellent, a far-future world where nano-technology and unlimited power have created a utopia. Here, there can be dragons (initially created by Disney, but now available as a genetic change to anyone who wants it). Until "The Fall", when a dispute the last handf......more

Goodreads review by Nitu on September 21, 2008

A wonderful romp in a science fiction / fantasy realm. The entire premise of this book and it's series seems to stem from Clark's third law, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." When an incredibly advanced earth is stripped of it's science then all that is left is m......more

Goodreads review by Lauren on March 03, 2014

I love this author and find his creations in this series to be a very unique combination of Science Fiction and Fantasy. I was drawn to the characters and constantly wanting to know what will happen next. Bast the elf is my favorite character. I highly disagree with many of the reviews and comments......more
