"Something special…Buchanan writes vividly and well, and the story grips from the astonishing opening sequence to the unexpected conclusion." -The Times (UK ) " Farlander is a manic romp that takes in politics affecting nations at war as well as bringing the people who shape these nations into sharp focus. There's a little something here for everyone. Farlander kicks off Col Buchanan's debut series in some style and promises great things for the future." -Graeme's Fantasy Book Review "In Farlander , Col Buchanan weaves a tapestry of characters embodying youthful inexperience, military adventurism, jaded professionalism and wisdom, and the excesses of temporally expressed religious fanaticism into a fast-moving novel that, for all its fantasy elements, explosively addresses the universal questions facing any society." --L.E. Modesitt, Jr. " Farlander is until the last page a well-done Novel of Education; since the education is that of an assassin, it's an exciting read as well as a thought-provoking one. Only at the conclusion does Col Buchanan show who was really being educated, which makes this a truly exceptional book." -- Dave Drake, author of The Legions of Fire, "Something special...Buchanan writes vividly and well, and the story grips from the astonishing opening sequence to the unexpected conclusion." -The Times (UK ) "Farlander is a manic romp that takes in politics affecting nations at war as well as bringing the people who shape these nations into sharp focus.
