Asteroid Made of Dragons by G. Derek Adams

by Donna Huber

A few years ago I was getting my hair cut and talking to the ladies that worked at the salon about my blog as they were readers. As I was leaving one lady mentioned that her friend had written a book. I left a card with her and said if he was interested in a review to contact me.

G. Derek Adams did contact me and I read a book that was far from my usual reads. He called it "swordpunk". At the time I was just becoming familiar with steampunk, but for a local author I would give his a chance. You can read my review of Spell/Sword here.

Then a month or so ago I saw a notice from my local bookstore that Derek was having a launch party for his 3rd book - Asteroid Made of Dragons. I'm curious about the story and have a copy, though haven't gotten to it yet. It is part of the Spell/Sword series, but as someone at the book event asked the books can be read out of order. (I haven't read the second book).

I did go to the book launch and it was one of the best author events I have attended. This is the first time I've met Derek and he is a lot of fun. He has a nice following, especially for an indie author, as the local bookstore was full. Derek had the crowd laughing for much of the talk.

To experience a bit of his personality, check out his blog: https://spell-sword.com

While I'm still not sure about the "swordpunk" description, I can tell you that this is a fantasy adventure with characters you are going to love. (If you read my Spell/Sword review you know I came to care about the characters, and several people at the book launch expressed concern for their favorite character).
