Isiah is having a tough time. The Devil is making his job very difficult. Samuel Harrigan is a murdering low-life who used ancient black magic to escape a deal with the Devil. Now he's on the trail of a crystal skull that he believes will complete his effots to evade Lucifer. But Lucifer wants Samuel's soul for eternity and refuses to wait a second longer for it. Now Isiah must protect Samuel and keep the Devil at bay, because Isiah needs Samuel's search for the skull to continue... ...not for Samuel's sake, but for the sake of all humankind. RealmShift is an engrossing dark fantasy thriller; a fascinating exploration of the nature of belief and its effect on the world. Magic, action, and intrigue, from dank city streets to the depths of hell and beyond.

This book was great! I started reading it on a blustery and rainy saturday and was so engrossed that I was almost finished it by Sunday (despite the reappearance of the sun)! The beginning is a tad laboured but once you are drawn into the plot the story comes thick and fast and you cannot put the book down. The concept(for me) was reminiscent of a more serious Terry Prachett-type fantasy world but addressing the "big questions" (god, religion etc). The main character is certainly a reluctant hero which helps to make the story believable. Overall very entralling and, if you are so inclined, it will also make you have a think about what YOU really believe! An excellent novel and I look forward to the sequel.

Realmshift, by Alan Baxter, is an engrossing tale that breaks the boundaries that I previously thought were impossible. Baxter writes with gusto, heart, and a deep will that takes storytelling to a new level. The characters that he has created are deep and unique, thrust into an intricate plot that grabs you and pulls you in for the ride. I couldn't help but become lost in the colorful and innovative writing style of Alan Baxter. Even though this is his first novel, it may as well have been his fifth, as I can seriously call this man a professional at writing. Great characters, great dialogue, great plotline, and great novel overall- What more could anyone want?

If you liked American Gods by Neil Gaiman, but fancied something paced a little faster, then this is your book! It's punchy and wild from the start, and contains more religious theory and debate (and more Gods) than even Small Gods by Terry Pratchett (despite being similarly themed).
I found the main character world-weary and strangely believeable, despite his other-worldly powers. It helps he has a strong moral framework, which helps him deal with his immoral charge, and take on Old Nick himself.
I'm not usually a fan of this genre, but a friend recommended it to me, and I wasn't disappointed. Give it a go!

Realmshift
The title draws intrigue. Impressionable cover art, glossed, and a staccato opening - almost literary - clinches it. Read more
