Why read it?

2 authors picked Edge of Oblivion as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I was intrigued by this storyline that despite the futuristic setting, the sacredness of the old still remained. It goes to show that truth is timeless and can withstand the test and challenges of time. In addition, I like the premise that no matter how one looks on the outside, we are pretty much the same on the inside and there is an unseen force that can unite beings at an intangible level.

I’ll admit, artist Kirk DouPonce’s striking cover art is what drew me to this book. Any book with art like that must be worth a read, right?

Thankfully, Edge of Oblivion doesn’t disappoint. The author has a captivating Star Trek-adjacent universe here, filled with characters, situations, and civilizations that could fill dozens of books. (Beyond the three that are currently available.)

Edge of Oblivion starts the trilogy off with a bang: The arrival of a mysterious planet-sized superweapon to threaten an already fragile confederacy. It’s epic, intriguing, and worlds of fun.
