The Power of the Night

Farholme is now isolated from the rest of the Made Worlds. The Gate to the Assembly and Ancient Earth has been destroyed. It will now take forty years for a message from the Assembly to reach them, fifty years for a ship to arrive. Merral Stefan D'Avanos is Comander of Farholme's military, something they never needed before. Merral's greatest task may very well be convincing his fellow citizens that they need a military or a police force. It's difficult for them to understand that the threat is real. But their world has been invaded by evil. People are changing, values and morals are being discarded. Pride, fear, jealousy, things unheard of in Farholme are now apparent. The more I read about Farholme the more I recognize our own world. Evil is real and Chris Walley has done a great job of showing it's effect on ordinary people living ordinary lives. The Power of the Night is book two in the continuing saga of the citizens of Farholme. Fast paced, with lots of action, strange creatures, and herioic characters, it's a great second book in The Lamb Among the Stars series.

Great story......if you like fantasy.....you will love this book. Personally I think the theology is a bit off......but that does not detract from the story. Chris Walley is a master at his craft! I am looking forward to more from his pen.

Chris Walley has brilliantly crafted a fully realized futuristic sci-fi / fantasy epic for young people and adults. The well thought out characters, compelling situations, and sweeping landscapes will keep the reader immersed, excited, and thoughtfully challenged. Regardless of individual background, an inspiring story of good and evil and the difficult decisions, sacrifices, and mistakes made in times of trouble will be richly revealed with each passing page. With the battle for hearts and minds in our own culture, both on an internal and external level, Mr. Walley's imagined world resonates provokingly with our own changing world. There is much to keep coming back to in "The Lamb Among the Stars" series, and readers will doubtless be reflective after finishing each book, as well as excited to find out what happens next! In a genre where there just doesn't seem enough of this type of literature, more from the imagination of this fresh, new author is anxiously awaited!

If you liked Tolkein or C.S. Lewis you'll love these as well! Get the prequel as well: The Shadow at Evening
