Reviews for Confluence - The Trilogy: Child of the River, Ancients of Days, Shrine of Stars
Exciting . . . colorful . . . highly entertaining and beautifully written, full of exotic settings, unusual characters, nuggets of scientific speculation and a healthy dose of decadence. McAuley is one of the field's finest writers and here he is writing at the top of his form.
