"He picked up one of the fur coats and helped her into it, then stroked the hair next to her temple, laying his head slowly back against the pillows. He gazed up at the gondola’s steel ferro (which loomed above them for the ship was right behind him and the flat-bottomed boat’s prow rested well above the waterline), and said, 'Take hold of my ship’s ferro, Shekalane. And hold on tightly.'
She looked at the great black and gold ferro, which pointed like a scimitar at the ceiling of the cavern, and its comb of seven tines, six pointing forward and one back, then back at Dravidian, whom she kissed before pushing herself up by her arms and, with the assistance of Dravidian’s big hands on her waist, gripped the topmost tines, the forward of which was etched with the word ‘Jaskir’ and the backward of which was etched ‘Novum Venum.’
She looked down at him as he hiked her frayed dress up along her dirty thighs and realized she was breathing far too heavy and fast, and tried to calm herself by observing the grotto around them, the piled treasure, the phantasmagoria of mushrooms. But then his cheek grazed the inside of her thigh and he began kissing her leg softly, and she surrendered all pretense to being in any sort of control."
“Wayne Spitzer’s FERRYMAN PENTALOGY is a tribute to the excellent writing of science fiction authors of the past; his precise and erudite language makes every chapter a pleasure to read. Spitzer’s underground water world demonstrates an incredible imagination which leaves the reader wondering just where this horrific future takes place. Is it our own planet that has become so twisted? Does the answer lie in the Latin location names? Has human nature changed so little that a single man can start a revolution and struggle with losing his focus over lust for a woman? THE FERRYMAN PENTALOGY is a brilliant novel designed as a five-part serial. If the price of the five books seems steep, consider it an investment in the future writings of a fine new author whose future works will not disappoint.”
“This book is a great way to finish summer. A quick read with a lot of action, intrigue and questions that will be answered as I finish the Pentalogy. Spitzer has left the cage ajar and I will follow to The Tempter and The Taker!”
“The author has a way with visceral descriptions and imagery. While I don't generally read erotica, the fresh take on the concept of the ferryman and the coins was intriguing enough to pique my curiosity. The world building in this novella is excellent and is sort of reminiscent of the old 70's and 80's serials to me, which works well in this setting. Just because I personally don't care for sex scenes in my reading, I took a half star off for that, but that is not a reflection on the quality of the book, just simply a personal preference. Overall I'd say this was a 4.5 star effort, an excellent first outing for a new author!”
“Great entertainment! A regular guy (well, he used to be a regular guy....) and a woman with a run of bad luck are thrust together in a dystopian world. But even here, or especially here, the promise of love challenges the system. Sexy, plus intriguing and thoughtful!”
“I bought this for my girlfriend since she loves erotic fantasy/fiction. The cover art and summary looked great so picked up the first book. She loved the story and characters so much she purchased the rest of the series. I decided to give it read myself since I do a lot traveling and have a lot of time to kill. And I really enjoyed it, especially the world-building! Very original and I can't wait to see more from this author. Recommended to all erotic and fantasy fiction fans.”
