Of the three I’ve so far only Ogres and it was fantastic, really great story.

Oh, I thought OP was talking about the latest one published. That’s awesome to know, I’ve probably read half of them through my library / Libby. Stoked to read them all.

Im pretty certain thats just an excerpt not the full story. The full story is 32 pages, thats like 3

Love that novella! Its so good.
u/DirectorBiggs

I liked Shroud much more than Alien Clay, I liked it more than Cage of Souls as well.
u/DirectorBiggs

Sounds like Bear Head trilogy is the best next step for you OP, with maybe a few novellas tossed in; Ogres, Elder Race and Saturation Point come to mind. Also Shroud and Cage of Souls are both fantastic stand alone novels.
u/DirectorBiggs

Finish it, then look at Shroud and Dogs of War trilogy. The Final Architecture is also really good but based on what you wrote I think Shroud will really tickle your fancy.

I just finished it yesterday and I was really impressed with all of it. I agree it was a slow start but that’s because as the reader it was hard for me to sort out what was going on until over 1/3 of the way through the book. Many of AT’s books are as good or better on the reread and this is one I look forward to reading again. This year I’ve been saving money by using the library for my reads but this one stands out as a book to keep on the shelves for when I’m ready to dive in again. Loved it.
