Transgressor: The Entire Fortune's Fools First Trilogy Kindle Edition

by E.M. Swift-Hook (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars 3 ratings
Transgressor is a collection of all three volumes in the first trilogy of the Fortune's Fools saga, now gathered in one single ebook.

Temsevar is an insignificant Periphery world on the very fringes of galactic civilisation. Settled long before the rise of faster-than-light technologies and left isolated for hundreds of years, its population have degenerated into the barbarism of a medieval culture. This primitive world has nothing the wealthy planets of the Coalition could want, until it becomes unwitting host to one of their most dangerous enemies - Avilon Revid.

Transgressor - Part One: The Fated Sky
From the moment he wakes up in the caravan of the merchant princess Alexa the Fair, Avilon has to fight simply to survive in a world where he is seen as alien and dangerous. It is a battle to obtain his freedom, that pushes his skills and resources to the limit, so he can find a way off-planet before his enemies in the Coalition track him down. But Temsevar has its own brutal conflicts being played out against the backdrop of its harsh and unforgiving climate. The society is dominated by a ruthless Warlord, intent on subduing the entire continent to his will and whose brilliant general - Jariq Zarengor - has earned a reputation for callous bloodshed. And then there is the enigmatic Durban Chola, trading information to whoever pays him for it, while playing his own, highly dangerous, game with fate.

Transgressor - Part Two: Times of Change
Fate has left Jaelya Roussal as Regent of Harkera, at the most troubled time in its history. The Warlord Qabal Vyazin has set his sights on seizing the country and making it part of his powerful, barbaric empire, and he would crush the stirrings of a more progressive and compassionate way of life that the nation has embraced. Harkera is also home to a powerful secret which could affect the fate of all the Coalition worlds. Jaelya needs the help of every friend she can find to keep her daughter's kingdom safe. But first, she has to decide if she can trust those who offer to help her protect Harkera - or risk losing everything to betrayal.

Transgressor - Part Three: Dues of Blood
The Sabre is the most famous of the gladiatorial fighters in the Arena of Alfor. He knows how to face any opponent on the sand and has defeated them all in the blood-games patronised by the wealthy elite of medieval Temsevar. But the Warlord Qabal Vyazin has decreed the arena is to become a means of political execution and even the Sabre will have to struggle to survive. As the action on Temsevar moves to the end-game, those caught up in events find themselves polarised and choosing sides, unsure of where the dagger of betrayal may hide. But offworld influences are reaching into the planet's affairs and Temsevar itself could fall under threat from the Coalition.

In the words that Robert Heinlein put so evocatively into the mouth of Lazarus Long: 'Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.' Having tried a number of different careers, before settling in the North-East of England with family, three dogs, cats and a small flock of rescued chickens, I now spend a lot of time in private and have very clean hands.

If you enjoy my books, please let me know by leaving a review, it encourages me to keep writing!

    5.0 out of 5 stars It's difficult to find really good books in Kindle Unlimited but this was really worth ...
    Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2017
    Having read the the trilogy one book at a time I highly suggest reading this in the one book form. It's difficult to find really good books in Kindle Unlimited but this was really worth taking the chance. A mix of sci-fi and medieval cultures. The Universe building is unique and complete. I don't compare this premise with any other book I've read. I've read sci-fi, speculative fiction for over 30 years from Harlan Ellison, Sturgeon, Cordwainer Smith, Bradbury, etc and realizing so much of today's speculative is really sub-par fantasy this held my interest from begining to end. Drama, conflict, emotions, a new universe. Trust A Few: Haruspex Trilogy: Part One picks up where this trilogy ends (which I've also read) and my only disapointment is I have to wait for part 2 & 3. I hope E M Swift-Hook takes the time to do this trilogy on the level of the first. With so much of today's movies & TV concentrating on SUPER HEROES & Visual effects lacking solid story lines I wish this could be developed into what it actually is, a Unique, story with depth. Good Job E M Swift-Hook I'm a fan

    5.0 out of 5 stars Intrigue that spans planets
    Reviewed in Australia on July 18, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Transgressor is a trilogy, and forms part of the Fortune’s Fools universe of EM Swift-Hook. Readers of earlier pulp fiction may be reminded of the category ‘swords and planets’ first made popular by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Transgressor is a worthy addition to that literary history, and yet is so much more.
    The story opens in a primitive world, and the basis for the first book is laid out – that of a man from an advanced civilisation ending up in a more primitive world. The world is detailed, and each page builds detail and characters that form the basis of the increasingly complex world and its people.
    But all is not as it seems. This is a complex and lengthy series, and there is intrigue that spans planets, and people are never quite who they appear to be. Political machinations and personal ambitions vie to create a future universe that is a compelling read.
    My only criticism is I found the pace a little slow, however that is more personal preference. For readers that enjoy epic high fantasy or science fiction with a large cast of characters and a complex political setup (Game of Thrones or the Dune series comes to mind), I think the pace is about the same.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing Fantasy Yarn
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 23, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Nicely constructed fantasy world where tribal politics hold sway in a primitive society occasionally visited by passing space crafts from more developed neighbours. A survivor is pulled from a crashed spaceship and he must survive attempts by his 'owners' to misuse his skills as a prize-fighter. Well written fantasy adventure yarn.
