Intriguing Characters

It's unfortunate that the story isn't finished. The character development is particularly strong. I wound up liking several of the characters and would have loved to know how their stories end.

Listen to Neil Gaiman about John Ford

Neil Gaiman said that readers are enthralled by Ford and other authors have mixed feelings about him. And that's understandable. Jealousy and admiration are going to be present. But for us readers, to me, there's no doubt about it. Ford is a magnificent stylist. He is a great storyteller and he paints in your mind beautifully detailed scenes not only of the physical aspects of the scene, but also the states of mind and thoughts of his characters. Really a remarkable author and it is a shame that he died in September of 2006.

some one should have picked up the torch...

Agreat Story..it got me hooked and then out of no where it stopped...the autor John M. Ford passed away.
Sad really but the other side of the coin tells us his suffering is at an end.
what of the story you ask? I asked the same question, Couldnt four of his closest friend who knew his style finish the book in his memory?all four could have sat down and wrote a chapter each but no greed rules supreme I suppose..

Very good for what it is

Just be aware that the novel is incomplete because it will leave you wanting more and not by design. It really a shame we'll never get to explore this world fully as I enjoyed the set up and the characters that were introduced.

Good story, well read

The performance of the book was great. I just wish it had been finished by the author before his death. It has great possibilities.
