5.0 out of 5 stars
an interesting premise.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cos #1: Chronicles Scar (Mass Market Paperback)
It wasn't until after I finished, that I had read a basically G rated fantasy/scifi book in one sitting. Not only did the author develop a solid storyline but kept to his guns in keeping the characters the driving force. I found the relationships, battle plans & lack of tech integral in the direction the author decided to take us. I enjoyed the ride & hope others will, as I pass my copy on & look forward to reading the next installment. thanks

Perhaps the perfect book,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cos #1: Chronicles Scar (Mass Market Paperback)
I was very surprised to discover that a fantasy book set in a science fiction future could be so believable, engrossing, and just plain fun. Usually this genre is an embarassment to read! The book is serious yet witty. The main character, Prince Scar, has real character flaws and yet the reader is drawn along to view the world through his eyes and sees even the most dire circumstances with humor, cowardice, and underlying honor. A very fine read which I highly recommend!!!

Coming of Age in Post-Catastrophic North America...,
By Earl P. Dean - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cos #1: Chronicles Scar (Mass Market Paperback)
When I started reading Ron Sarti's Chronicles of Scar, I was lucky to have heard only a little about it before I brought it to the table. If you had told me that it was a science fantasy tale about warring nations, I might not have picked it up; discounting David Weber and Philip Caputo (A Rumor of War), I haven't read many such tales that truly moved me. Fortunately, it suffices to say that Mr. Sarti is a serious writer who loves history and knows about war. In Scar, he does his very best to entertain us with his knowledge while providing realistic battle situations. And he succeeds. So who is Scar? Simply put, he is a waif whose rise we see, from a life of burglary and poverty to his destiny as a prince apparent to a kingdom. The rise is not easy, a path strewn with seditious lands plotting the overthrow of his kingdom and the ending of the governing codes. We see Scar in love, and his stubborn attitude towards responsibily running contradictory at times to his willingness for accepting great peril in the name of his father, the King. Summing up, Scar is a well rounded character. And the scenes in this novel ring true-- chillingly so. While reading the last few chapters, I could hardly believe the developments of the story. It just seemed too real. Have fun with this one!
