"The
5 Moons of Tiiana is a science fiction narration on a soldier caught in the
middle of an interstellar war, faced with rescuing the princess he loves, and
solving an ancient alien mystery that might bring peace to the galaxy."
Rez
Cantor is a captain in the Imperial Army’s Shadow Guard, and the personal
attaché to Leanna, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the Emperor, and sole heir
to the Melelan throne.
On
the eve of a treaty signing ending a twelve-year war between the Relcor and the
Empire, Rez Cantor learns that the Imperial family has been slated for death.
Under
orders from his Queen, Rez is given a final command–save the Princess at all
costs. Unprepared, bewildered, and overwhelmed, Rez has only hours to formulate
a plan, break into the Imperial Palace, and whisk the princess away before the
Relcor learn of the deceit.
Not
to be stymied, Rez is partially successful in his efforts. He steals Leanna
away, and the two flee Melela in a spaceship, along with others of the Imperial
Guard, including Rez’s arch nemesis, Philip Golan—but at the edge of space
tragedy strikes. Their ship is nuked as it enters warp, and what happens next
transcends all Rez knows or understands. Knocked unconscious during their
tumultuous escape, Rez awakens to find himself on a beach–alone–without the
princess and no idea where he is. His
predicament worsens as he begins to experience his new environment–an alien
moon that harbors new hostilities and challenges at every turn, including a
metal-eating cloud that appears to be both alive and deadly.
So begins the sojourn of Rez Cantor upon the Moons of Tiiana...
~ MY REVIEW ~
This does not happen to me often, but I loved this book from sentence number one! Paul Harry has such a fluid and wonderful writing style. This book has excellent imagery and the entire world--or worlds--Harry has created are so detailed and alive. I was so impressed by the amount of story contained in these pages. The Five Moons of Tiiana is truly a one of a kind space adventure. This tale will fascinate and transport it's reader into another world.
I loved all the different races the author created and his world building is impeccable!
His characters are well developed and incredibly real. Traversing space with Rez was like having a front row seat at the movie theater! I really enjoyed his character. Rez is a stand up hero and such a dynamic MC.
Science fiction has always been my genre of choice for books, movies and TV. This story has all the makings for a good sci-fi book; action, adventure, alien races and worlds in distress. The Five Moons of Tiiana has earned itself a spot at the top of my favorites list. It is one I would gladly re-read. It begins and ends with spectacular action. Rez's tale is compelling and I stayed up reading until early in the morning. There is not a single boring page in this entire book. If you are a fan of science fiction, this is a must read. I'm hoping there will be a follow up in the near future.
I highly recommend reading this book!
Jill,
