“While I had known about Raiden’s Realm for a long time
I only just recently discovered an area on his site where he posts
his short stories and draft novels. Steve Lake is a writer and he
is quite open about his work and allowing us to read his drafts,
offering suggestions and letting the grammar police pick through
his word smithing.“Well I started reading them and he has such a captivating story
telling style that I couldn’t leave until I read everything. I just
recently learned that he has released the first novel of a series
(I love series of novels) called “The Bitter Cycles of Man”. The
novel is called The Oort Perimeter and it is about a battle of
multiple alien races trying to crush the protectors of an
unsuspecting human population. It is a very good read and I am
serious in comparing it to a combination of Asimov and Smith.”
