Praise

Paul Jameson did an incredible job building a new world for readers to explore. He did not just dump it in our laps but skillfully revealed it bit by bit throughout the hero’s journey. By adding scenes with explicit and descriptive passion between the characters, he bridge the gap from our world to the fantasy world in his story. I really wanted to be one of the participants. Can’t wait wait for the sequel.

This was a well-done initial novel in a multi-part series. Plot- and character-driven, with glimpses of a world and peoples (including non-human sentient beings) whose origins and motivations remain questions for presumed resolution in the next books. Enough was provided to the reader to anticipate eagerly the next volume; "what is going on here and why" is much more important to the book than swords and sorcery - although swords are indeed significant as is this world's version of "magic," which is an imperfect term for the powers accessible to the protagonists.

Paul's characters come alive in his riveting story of a tough future world. I found myself really wanting for reading on to the next chapter in need of knowing what could and would happen next. I have a daughter and I love the strong leading characters that are ladies.
So I am hooked for the next follow up series!

I first came up with the idea of the Sword Channel Saga 40 years ago, and wrote the first hundred pages or so, then stopped for reasons I can't remember. I did manage to transfer the original files that were composed on Wang word processors (remember them?), or handwritten and then put into word processor, then exported them to WordPerfect (remember that?) and finally to Word, so I must have had some idea of continuing it some day.

Then a confluence of retiring, and getting inspiration from...
