"The hologram faded away and a silence fell over the glade as Dravidian reseated himself upon the rock. Sthulhu remained respectfully silent. In his mind's eye Dravidian saw Pepperlung on the deck of their great dragger, The Vorpal Gladio, saw him glance over his shoulder at the prefect as his tone became grave: 'Beware, Dravidian. The bride is just sightseeing but Asmodeus is here for you. You are the only ferryman up for elevation this year. Watch yourself. There will be a test, surely.'
The ground trembled suddenly and the remnants of the cage rattled as a minor Ursaquake shook the glade, and the sun orb went from gold to orange. A horse whinnied in the distance and Dravidian looked out across Parvus’ homestead to see a great steed leap up in its corral. The slightest push against the dilapidated boards would have freed it—but the creature either did not know or did not care. The horse, however mighty, knew its place. It knew in its primitive yet tamed wiring what Dravidian, in his advanced and now liberated own, did not: that nothing lay beyond its cage that did not already exist in abundance within."
“Spitzer has a fun almost campy style that allows the reader to sit back and enjoy the ride. If you are looking for a good story with added layers of every man's dream girl as the main female character and a scary monstrous bad boy that turns out to not be so monstrous (as far as we know) -- then you might very well like this book series.”
“Read my friend's copy, and am pushing her to finish the series so I can read the rest! Loved the complex setting and the way the characters have to wrap their minds around what is real and what is propaganda. Feels true. (Still steamy!)”
“The Pierced Veil (The Ferryman Pentalogy Book 3) by Wayne Kyle Spitzer for me is a five star read. First time reading any of this authors work and I enjoyed it. I've read a lot in this genre and honestly this was different from the usual. The writing was fantastic and had me hooked from the very first page right up until the very end. The characters are superb and you get to know everything about them - so much so it's as though they are real people and you are experiencing their lives alongside them. Thrilling read from start to finish and I would highly recommend this book to anyone. I am really looking forward to reading more from this author. I loved the characters and the quirky relationships between them. I highly recommend this novel to all fans of the genre and this author. Would definitely recommend to all friends and family.”
“Lots of the ‘good stuff’ in this one. The characters explore their world and each other. LOTS OF CREATIVE FUN!”
“Spoiler alert: you just can't trust a man! The story takes a crazy turn and totally has me going. Definitely need to see how this one comes out!”
“In book four of the Ferryman Pentalogy, 'Black Hole, White Fountain' the stakes for Dravidian are increased as the loyalties of both himself and Shekalane are tested both toward each other and their factions as both politics and destiny swirl around them. Exciting, thrilling and erotic, this unique blend of science fiction and fantasy is well written and atmospheric, conjuring up some remarkable images. Everything is further expanded in the fourth chapter that fans of the series will devour.”
“If you are new to the Ferryman series do yourself a favor and go back to book one, Comes a Ferryman, and enter this thrilling saga that takes familiar elements from mythology and blends them with a compelling and seductive world that is both fantasy and sci-fi. Wow, what a ride! Really intense action, way too much suspense! WOULD MAKE AN AWESOME MOVIE! Make two versions, one for the kids, with the fabulous settings and adventures, and the other as written: hot, hot, hot!”
“Great world-building, compelling characters, hot sex, and themes and metaphors all over the place. Spitzer's really doing it, successfully. Exceeded my expectations, by far.”
