SF Quotes

" There’s no real objection to escapism, in the right places… We all want to escape occasionally. But science fiction is often very far from escapism, in fact you might say that science fiction is escape into reality… It’s a fiction which does concern itself with real issues: the origin of man; our future. In fact I can’t think of any form of literature which is more concerned with real issues, reality. "

Arthur C. Clarke

Fade To Black

fade-to-black-cov Fade to Black
Francis Knight

From a British debut fantasy author comes this highly original trilogy drenched in atmosphere and guaranteed to grip readers to the core. A must-read tale of corruption and dark magic, set in the vertigo-inspiring city of Mahala.

Mahala: a city built in the dark depths of a valley. A city built up in layers, not across - where streets are built upon streets, buildings balance precariously upon buildings. A city that the Ministry rules from its lofty perch at the sunlit summit & where the forsaken lurk in the shadowy depths of the Pit.

Angelfall
