Guns of the Dawn is a pacey, gripping fantasy of war and magic from Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author Adrian Tchaikovsky. The first casualty of war is truth.... First, Denland's revolutionaries assassinated their king, launching a wave of bloodshed after generations of peace. Next they clashed with Lascanne, their royalist neighbour, pitching war machines against warlocks in a fiercely fought conflict.

Some good parts but flawed
Reviewed: 04-12-22
For a military fantasy novel it seems strange that author incorrectly uses military ranks and terms.
Ending is quite disappointed and seems rushed.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 340
AD 2204. An alien shipwreck is discovered on a planet at the very limits of human expansion - so Security Director Feriton Kayne selects a team to investigate. The ship’s sinister cargo not only raises bewildering questions but could also foreshadow humanity’s extinction. It will be up to the team to bring back answers, and the consequences of this voyage will change everything. Back on Earth, we can now make deserts bloom and extend lifespans indefinitely, so humanity seems invulnerable. We therefore welcomed the Olyix to Earth when they contacted us. But were the Olyix a blessing or a curse?

Nice introduction but lacking on its own.
Reviewed: 07-13-19
This is a first book in upcoming series and as an introduction it got me interested. Unfortunately it didn't stand on its own in my opinion.
It felt like a collection of short stories with little connection to each other. The short stories being background histories of the characters in the main? plot. The main plot get me very interested but it was only a fraction of the book.
