Valhalla-I just got done reading Valhalla, a sci-fi action novel written by my friend Ari Bach. I can honestly say that this is one of the most entertaining pieces of fiction that I have read in quite a while. A truly fun book! It features some themes that will be familiar to fans of anime, as well as what I think are some potentially accurate predictions about the future of human civilization and culture. It also has espionage, dangerous villains and dismemberment; lots of dismemberment. Valhalla also introduces one of the most wicked (and cool) sci-fi weapons that I've ever heard of. It's called a Tikari, a robotic insect with Artificial Intelligence, which is made out of your sternum, lives inside your chest, is remotely linked to your brain and can transform into a stabbing weapon (I really want one)! This book is surprisingly entertaining and I highly recommend it. You should also keep an eye out for this franchise and its creator in the future. I'm expecting some good things from both of them. And you may also want to check out some of Ari's art. His work features some disturbingly surrealistic landscapes and critters, and you'll also find some concept art for Valhalla there as well. - False Prophet |
