THE TRYPHON ODYSSEY (The Voyage Book 1) Kindle Edition

by S.D. Howarth (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars 5 ratings
The world of Sanctuary is not a kind place. Many races have fled there across the ages. Fewer still have survived and flourished—or survived. Humankind is the most recent to seek refuge, and the most cataclysmic. Since their arrival within the city-state of Atlantis, the embassies and tribes of man have formed new nations across several continents. Their misuse of magic in a prior age turned the seas acidic and drove their ancient Gods mad. The great contradiction of the current age is that it is only with magic that sailing ships like warship Tryphon criss-cross the oceans to protect trade routes.Navigator Edouard Van Reiver departs from shipboard routine and petty politics when he stops Tryphon against age-old superstitions to rescue two survivors, inviting aboard blood, fire and death.Sunjammer Gabriel Dagmar squanders his precocious talents through daily tedium to hide from the more terrifying depths of magic.Lady Carla's escort mission is in tatters, and needing rescue from the acidic sea is the least of several concerns. Coxswain Grimm will need every one of his decades of experience to keep the Tryphon men alive, the officers on course, and quell the threat within spilling over.No good deed goes unpunished. Events require they assume new roles to fight an unknown assailant, as their anti-pirate patrol mission veers into the unknown. They will need skill, luck, or a hint that the Gods of Sanctuary still exist to rebalance the scales of a power play that could tear asunder the fragile balance the World of Sanctuary teeters upon. Can they hold the line and do their duty, or fail and doom their Spires Kingdom?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Seafarin' madness!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    From the minute I jumped onboard the warship Tryphon, I was captivated. I haven’t read a good seafarin’ tale in sometime, albeit on an acid orange sea that is the stuff of nightmares.
    One of the things that stood out for me was the worldbuilding - I felt like this vast copper sea was all consuming and when I happened across two lone survivors adrift, my intrigue was truly piqued. The hints of ancient civilizations, gods and old magic just added to my curiosity. Character dialogue, was another highlight. I found it fresh, believable and the banter was often hilarious. Then there was the nautical vocabulary, which further immersed me. There was enough action and intrigue, colourful characters and even more colourful language to keep me flipping the 500 odd pages and waiting for book 2!

    5.0 out of 5 stars If Quentin Tarantino made a Ray Harryhausen film, this book would be the script.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2021

    A grim, gory, profane seafaring tale filled with a lot of heart and absolutely head-over-heels-fall-in-love-with-them protagonists. Imagine if Quentin Tarantino wrote or directed a Ray Harryhausen film, and this would come close. A stalwart naval officer with a chip on his shoulder, an assortment of rough and tumble marines and seamen, and a noblewoman with true grit face off against sorcerers, monsters, and the awesome and terrible power of the sea.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Epic High Seas Fantasy
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 19, 2022

    Fans of epic style fantasy and naval settings will obviously be into this. It has a unique feel to it, in storyline and world, and so readers looking for something different than the usual fare should give this one a try.
