installment is an infiltration behind enemy lines, and a desperate
high-stakes rescue mission. -Morton Benning, author of Playing God and
The Tale of Alathimble Spaide Wow! I was eagerly looking forward to
reading this book and was not disappointed. It is a well-written,
fast-paced, action packed page turner. Serpent Bearer has everything you
are looking for and more in a sci-fi/fantasy. Impressive. -Lesley
