Earth of Fire, Sky of Ice: An Epic Fantasy Adventure

Summary: Original with a Capital "O"!
Review: I thought that this was one of the most original and thought provoking books that I have ever read. After reading it, I really had to stop and wonder- What if? There really could be ruins of the world's last undiscovered civilization buried under all of that snow and ice, and perhaps even a remnant of it as this book eludes. But this book goes one step further and takes the framework of such intriguing possibilities, and fleshes it out with characters that are memorable, with action that is heartpounding and with intrigue and mystery that leaves one desperately wanting more. The good news is, I understand that more is on the way, and I look forward to "The Summoning" Robert Hotchkiss' second book in this wonderful series with great anticipation. I expect great things from this writer, and look forward to what the future holds in the way of great literary works from him.

Summary: I Thoroughly enjoyed this book!
Review: I very much enjoyed this book. I found the premise to be very original and unique. I found myself transported to another place and time, to a land with a history and a story all of its own- a story which very much could have been a part of our own global history, were we somehow able to peel back the miles of ice and snow and gain an intimate peek at what truly lies hidden on the last great unexplored land in the world- Antarctica. Robert Hotchkiss has boldly taken on a vast project- Writing a history of an entire continent, which by any stretch of the imagination would be a daunting task for even a seasoned writer, and he does it in a grand style that leaves you longing for more. This is a wonderful book, and I highly recommend it.
