In what is a thoroughly interesting, magnificently impassioned, and dutifully sculpted debut novel by author James Rogers, Flight of the Eternal Emperor is, at its core, the story of an entity that can live for hundreds, if not millions of years via the embodiment of magic, sure, but as much as that sounds seductive, boredom soon creeps in which leads to the need for forms of distraction to be born and cultivated.
Ergo, this Sci-Fi novel is a durable read from start to finish, and one chock full of fully-fleshed characters and a story line that is both intriguing and addictive to follow along with (even if it is late on a school night).
A blend of magic and technology, and inclusive of such a centralized character as Destlar, the Eternal Emperor and the focus of Jeseque’s hatred, what the author has done has brought forth a fantastical spellbinding account within his novel; and one that encourages you, nay seduces you even, to read as much as you can each time you pick the book up. It’s just that good.
