"Shekalane looked at him with something akin to pity. 'You speak as if Ursathrax were a person. A lover, perhaps.'
Jamais laughed. 'I suppose that’s true. It is the hallmark of lonely people, to anthropomorphize. They do it to their pets quite frequently. But that is just one of her secrets … for while not a person same as you or I, she is, I believe, sentient. She is self-aware. Surely you have felt it, on those days when the leaves of the trees rustle even though there is no wind? She is alive … she has her moods and her trespasses, like every living thing. And also like every living thing, she is mortal. By which I mean she has a beginning, a middle, and an end, as do all things … and that, after five-hundred years, she is nearing her end.'
There was another long pause, and Shekalane looked at Dravidian, who said, 'No. That is not possible. The Lucitor would not have created something so frail and temporal …'
Jamais studied him for a beat. 'And yet the sky is falling, is it not?'"
“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.”
