Praise for The Shader Series
 

 

 


Rich and varied, touching, maddening, and addicting. Elegant, polished, and believable characters in an amazing world.”

--Archelle Baker, eBook Alchemy

 

 

“Ever-widening in its scope - fearless in its telling. I cannot help but be reminded of Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, not just in the interweaving of time epochs and worlds but also in the author's sheer fearlessness. From earth to heaven to alternate worlds, the story is unrelenting in its incredible vision.”

--David Dalglish, best-selling author of
The Half-Orcs
series

 


Complex and intriguing; intelligent and engaging; descriptive enough to invoke all senses. The style is a nice mix—fast-paced and contemporary, yet with classical prose and imagery to satisfy those of us who love the old masters.”

--C.S. Marks, best-selling author of
Elfhunter

 

 

Cadman’s Gambit

 

“…
the most perfect introductory novel to a series I've ever read… Cadman's Gambit is a work of pure intellect, taking the best facets of fantasy, science fiction, and philosophy, and mixing it all together into a genus all its own...I couldn't put it down, though I took my time with it, wanting to bathe myself in every word, every turn of a phrase.
.
. My Year's Best list just had a new book jump to the top. D.P. Prior's book is that good. He has a lot to say, and one hell of a story to tell. In my opinion, you should take him up on that journey. Now.”

This is a well written tale with an intriguing plot that prevails through to the very end…has a nice sense of pace and timing. There is an intriguing mix of horror, fantasy and Sci-Fi space adventure…If you liked Abercrombie's trilogy I think you'll like this.”

Five Stars
