Title: Thorhammer
Author: Ian Schue
Lenght: Long. Long Enough. 4 seasons. 10 chapters each. last chapters are hundred pages long, and more. Ongoing...
Category: Science-Fiction, Space opera
Extras: A bunch of articles detailing the Thorhammer Universe. Maps, images, 3d scenes, and more. EVERYTHING done by one person. except fan-art...
Written By Ian Schue, It is his main, and almost only, work.
The Firestaff Chronicles are long. true. However, and I may be wrong, I think Thorhammer may be longer. The very first chapter was 32 pages long. The last third of his last produced chapter is 224 pages long. What I like most about it, is that it's neither a fan story, an abandonned series, or a badly written one. It has a main character: A bounty hunter. And his crew. There's a nemesis, a princess, hidden species, a good plot, sub-plots,sub-sub-plots. Guns, swords, starships, nuclear cannons, death-star like ships, an evil emperor, a race of robots, a race of warriors, etc. etc. And I've only touched the surface. Furthermore, everything is written proffesionnaly. (I am not certified to say so, but thats my opinion. Let's say its worthy of Baen Books. Maybe.) This one has given me a large number of sleepless nights. Sorry to say, but more than Firestaff.
I have just posted this because Thorhammer is truly good reading. And after months of waiting, the latest chapter is out! Hurray! I wont sleep tonight...
P.S. I took the time to write this, time I could have spent reading... Please try THORHAMMER! Its WORTH IT! btw, Thorhammer is the story that hooked me to online fiction. It also hooked me to reading on my palm at night, and at school... gotta go read now, bye!
