Greetings travelers. We’re keeping the sci-fi times rolling in 2024, only this time we’re traveling across the breadth of our solar system in Vermilion Flames, a book that explores what life looks like in the time long after Earth is no longer inhabitable. If that stokes your interest, read on to learn more about Vermilion Flames.
Author Adam Fernandez takes readers on a journey across moons and planets in his terrific debut of Vermilion Flames: Midnight War: Book I. It is an interesting juxtaposition between science and fate, and the author tackles it with deep respect for both ends of the spectrum, never allowing this wonderful story to feel schlocky. Building a foundation with which to stack characters from the republic or the rebel forces, Fernandez is able to tackle pathos and ethos in captivating ways. Indeed, readers will be drawn to the characters throughout the story, eager to see if they can reach their goals or come to terms with their failures. And though there are some events that would paint members of the cast as villains, things are never quite so black and white.
