Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In the spirit of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lamb among the Stars series weaves the worlds of science and the spirit, technology and supernatural into something unique and haunting. On the faraway planet of Farholme, humans live in peace under the gentle rule of the Assembly. War and evil are ancient history. But suddenly, almost imperceptibly, things begin to change. Slowly a handful of men and women begin to realize that evil has returned and it must be fought.

Synopsis:

A triumph of imagination in the vein of C.S. Lewiss Space Trilogy, "The Shadow and Night" is parts one and two of The Lamb Among the Star series, which weaves together the worlds of science and the spirit, technology and the supernatural, into something unique and haunting.

What Amazon readers are saying about the series:

This is the first book that I have read that has such an unusual twist on the much-used genre of good vs. evil. It looks at the concept from a whole new angle and highlights perfectly the battle for mankinds soul.

Walley breaks the mold of boring, clichd science fiction and offers a thrilling new experience full of intrigue and suspense. This is well worth reading!

The sci-fi aspects of terraforming, Below-Space, and other technology of the Assembly worlds were fascinating, and (I believe) handled in a realistic way. I give this book five stars because I thought it was a really great addition to the Christian sci-fi genreand the sci-fi genre in general. . . . My compliments to the author!

"The Shadow and Night" was originally published as two separate volumes"The Shadow at Evening" and "The Power of the Night. The Dark Foundations," part three, is available now at retailers near you!
