The Battle for Vast Dominion by George Bryan Polivka
Read in October, 2008
This the third installment in the Trophy Chase Trilogy and continues to a satisfying conclusion. We meet one surprise character who plays a vital role in the climax. The biggest disappointment for me was the seemingly unnecessary death of one of the main characters, although it’s predictable and not unforeseen.
This series was a great swashbuckling tale, sort of an alternate history to our own world, with Christian overtones. I’m looking forward to Polivka’s next novel, Blaggard’s Moon, which is due out in a couple of months.
If I were in a bookstore I would pick up and check out the novel just because of the cover. Beautiful. Like a renaissance oil painting.
