Out of all the science fiction literature I have read over the years, The Griffin: Ashes of Honor is indeed an ORIGINAL breath of fresh air!
Philip Williams delivers a vibrant new world and universe, with a plethora of inventive and unique technologies (engineering & scientific minds will appreciate that facet for sure) along with a colorful cast of flora, fauna and sentient lifeforms... The protagonists and antagonists are each given an Identity, so the reader can identify with each character, be they "Good" or "Evil." All points of view can easily be painted via the Imagination and brought to "life" on-screen mentally.
I have become rather sedentary with my reading, but Ashes of Honor has been just the bug I needed to bite, Looking forward to the 2nd installment!
