What They're Saying

Critics Review

Praise for The Deed of Paksenarrion series:

“One of the absolute classics of military fantasy. A masterful blend of the reality of military life with the magic and worldbuilding of the best fantasy. Paksennarion is one of the greatest military fantasy characters of all time. Captures the essence of what it’s like to be a soldier and makes you feel like you’re part of the unit.” —Michael Mammay, Col. (retired), author of Planetside
Praise for Elizabeth Moon:
“Excellent plotting and characters support the utterly realistic action sequences: swift, jolting, confusing, and merciless. It’s a corker!” —Kirkus Reviews

“Moon has created a richly imagined universe of different cultures, replete with intriguing characters and the sense of unlimited possibility that characterizes the most appealing science fiction.” —School Library Journal

“Rip-roaring action and intriguing science and tactics … [a] grand space opera tour de force.” —Publishers Weekly

“[T]he first work of high heroic fantasy I’ve seen that has taken the work of Tolkien, assimilated it totally and deeply and absolutely, and produced something altogether new and yet incontestably based on the master … [Moon’s] military knowledge is impressive, her picture of life in a mercenary company most convincing. I’m deeply impressed.” —Judith Tarr

“Engrossing …” —Anne McCaffrey

“A tour de force …” —Jack McDevitt

“Worldbuilding in the grand tradition, background thought out to the last detail.” —Judith Tarr

“Superlative …” —Booklist

“Brilliant … the excitement of high heroic adventure … will enchant the reader.” —Bookwatch
