Skythane: Liminal Sky: Oberon Cycle Book 1

by J Scott Coatsworth

Overview

Jameson Havercamp, a psych from a conservative religious colony, has come to Oberon-unique among the Common Worlds-in search of a rare substance called pith. He's guided through the wilds on his quest by Xander Kinnison, a handsome, cocky wing man with a troubled past.

Neither knows that Oberon is facing imminent destruction. Even as the world starts to fall apart around them, they have no idea what's coming-or the bond that will develop between them as they race to avert a cataclysm.

Together, they will journey to uncover the secrets of this strange and singular world, even as it takes them beyond the bounds of reality itself to discover what truly binds them together.

About the Author

Scott lives with his husband Mark in a yellow bungalow in Sacramento. He was indoctrinated into fantasy and sci fi by his mother at the tender age of nine. He devoured her library, but as he grew up, he wondered where all the people like him were. He decided that if there weren't queer characters in his favorite genres, he would remake them to his own ends. A Rainbow Award winning author, he runs Queer Sci Fi, QueeRomance Ink, and Other Worlds Ink with Mark, sites that celebrate fiction reflecting queer reality, and is a full member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA).

Editorial Reviews

"Three POVs, Shakespearian references, and a rich tapestry of a plot that'll leave you asking for more. Skythane, by J Scott Coatsworth, proved to be a delightful Sci-Fantasy read." --Jeanne, Reviewing the Gaps

"The world building is detailed, not just with the descriptions of the world, but in its rich history... I'd recommend Skythane to readers who like science fiction with complex plots and world building, engaging three dimensional characters, and a story that is difficult to put down. 5 out of 5 stars." --Anne Barwell

"Coastworth doesn't waste anytime with long information dumps, as something always interrupts a telling or whenever a character makes a discovery. Initially this bothered me, but, once I was caught up in the story, I was surprised each time them occurred. Being pursued by a group of gangsters in the Wilds, the threat of death from gunfire or by native creatures is always present. The threats become greater when imminent destruction is revealed coming from the skies. Also good is the threats are always changing, as the final location of the book introduces several other threats. Coatsworth was strong with the action." --Parick Hayes, Sci Fi Pulse
