Another review of In Her Name is in, this time from POD Book Reviews and More (PODBRAM)! This review was done by Dr. Al Past, one of PODBRAM’s regular reviewers, as well as an author himself.
Not to put too fine a point on it, he liked it, just a bit!
One of my good friends, a literate, book-reading friend, says he likes his movies tightly edited and concise, but he prefers his books by the pound. If that friend enjoys the occasional science fiction/fantasy adventure as well, then do I have a book for him! Michael R. Hicks’ In Her Name is a monster of a paperback and an absolute steal for the price. (It’s also available in Amazon’s Kindle edition at a budget price.) I estimate In Her Name to be at least two pounds of solid entertainment.
Dr. Past goes over a synopsis of the plot (without giving out much in the way of spoilers), before he gets to his impressions of the novel:
That was what I liked best about the book: the author’s complete and convincing rendering of a non-human culture, to the point that the reader comes to understand and respect it, honor it, and even root for it! That is no mean feat of imagination, and it makes what could have been a purple-prose space opera into a delightful recreation…The bottom line is that In Her Name is highly recommended to those who love the sci-fi/fantasy genres, or are even tempted to try them.
So, a big thanks to PODBRAM and Dr. Past for the kind words! To read the complete review, click here!
