Imager, Imager’s Challenge and Imager’s Intrigue by L.E. Modesitt Jr.
Next week will see the release of Princeps, the second novel in the second arc of L.E. Modesitt Jr.’s excellent Imager Portfolio. I’ll review the novel on Tor.com and, as always, will post the review here about a week after it has appeared on Tor.com.
But for now, as a warm-up, I am already kicking off a brief series of posts about L.E. Modesitt Jr., one of my favorite authors and definitely someone who’s in my top 3 of “authors I’ve read the most books by”, together with C.J. Cherryh and Terry Pratchett. (These three are probably the only authors I’ve read more than twenty novels by!)
Today I’m posting a look back at the first three novels in the Imager Portfolio: Imager, Imager’s Challenge and Imager’s Intrigue. This weekend, I’ll post my review of Scholar, the fourth novel in the series. Next week will follow a review of the newest novel Princeps, and (drum roll) a long, in-depth interview with L.E. Modesitt Jr. I’ve been working on with the author for a few weeks now. We’re up to well over 3000 words already, so this should be a treat for fans of the author.
