Miles (or Christian) Cameron has vaulted quickly to the top of my list of favorite authors. This third book in the "Traitor Son" cycle is, in my opinion, his best yet.
What other author captures feudal/medieval society, roman culture, gaelich lore, new world tribal society, chivalric values, real-world tactics/strategy/combat, and blends it all into a seamless fantasy story. Miles Cameron has done so brilliantly.
Two days ago my kindle app notified me that "The Dread Wyrm" was now available from my pre-purchase. To my great concern, I also noticed that the first (and at that time only) review was a three-star review and was concerned – was Miles Cameron slipping? So many authors burn out, or in the middle of a 5 book series load in a filler book to make the publisher happy.
I am pleased to announce that within 5 minutes of reading "The Dread Wyrm" I was smiling and physically nodding my head – no worries here; Miles Cameron is better than ever.
Please buy this book and support this author who clearly is passionate about this story and his craft as an author (that way he will continue to provide high quality material for ME!!!). If you have not had the pleasure of reading Miles Cameron or Christian Cameron’s works prior to reading this review, please do yourself a favor and give some of his books a try. I can also tell you that this is the author that converted me (with no regrets) from Lord of the Rings style fantasy epics to what I am now calling "researched historical fiction". The depth of this author’s research I’ll let you figure out for yourself (hint: his blog shows a frightening level of commitment to re-enactment).
This was the first kindle book I have ever pre-purchased.
