La Dimension Shiro pulled me in from the very first page. The atmosphere of Tokyo feels incredibly real, and Frank Hammett is the kind of character you don't forget easily. A gripping, original fantasy unlike anything I've read before.

Sahelios takes the story to a completely different level. Two parallel worlds, two compelling characters — and a race against time that kept me up reading until 2am. Brilliant storytelling.
