Product Description
Review
"This stars Isak, a young man brought up as a 'wagon brat' in a world ruled by the whims of the gods, who have been inactive far too long. Though desperate to escape the fear and abuse, Isak finds himself chosen by the god to be his world's ruler, and facing murderous rivals. A wonderful bit of world building."
--MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS
Review
"It gallops along with scarcely a dull moment." (Lisa Tuttle THE TIMES )
"This first novel has good ideas and a suitably flawed hero. The world is beautifully realised, the battles suitably grim and the dragon, when it appears, is magnificent." (THE GUARDIAN )
"A fantasy with the same magnificence of conception, the same sense of looming presences whose purposes are not ours to apprehend. Fragments of old stories which stud and sometimes drive his narrative are not just there as decoration or machinery. They are there to make this world seem deeper and darker than Lloyd's gloom ridden narrative allows." (Roz Kaveney TIME OUT )
"Magical creatures and high speed action scenes... packed with detail without being too heavy. The Stormcaller shows how high the bar has been raised with its sheer vision and inventiveness." (SFX )
"As the book progresses, Lloyd's ball-juggling skills improve, and the plot becomes more coherent, his characters more convincing, and his story starts to grip. It'll be interesting to see how both author and series develop." (STARBURST )
"It is intelligently written with good characterization. Fans of fantasy will want to keep an eye out for Tom Lloyd." (CONCATENATION )
"The world that Lloyd has created seems much more real than that of most fantasy books. He has created a fantasy world that has believable politics and is inhabited by large numbers of ordinary people..." (Cheryl Morgan EMERALD CITY )
"Lloyd creates a vivid world, which gradually comes alive and promises more for the future [He] echoes writers such as Moorcock and Gemmell." (Ian Emsley INTERZONE )
"Stormcaller's magical land is far from the cosy backwater we've become so used to of late. A pretty confident first novel." (DREAMWATCH )
