A review by ramsfan1963
Empire's Horizon by John Brizzolara

adventurous emotional mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

This is the kind of stand alone book you wish would have a sequel or even a trilogy. The planet Darkath, the Khaj and Dhirn natives, the crumbling Terran Empire all begged for more stories to be told about them. This book reminded me a lot of both Dune and C.J. Cherryh's The Faded Sun trilogy.
