In January 2021, Warrior of the Kizan was re-published as Nephilim: Corruption: A Christian Space Princess Novel (Warriof the Kizan Book 1). This post has been edited for title and new cover.

About the Book:

To save a princess, he must first save himself.

Star Wars meets Edgar Rice Burroughs’ A Princess of Mars in this techno-magic tale of war and redemption!

Dakhar Talin, a member of a cursed, telepathic people, is the new head of security for the Royal House of Emun. When the princess, Tasia, is kidnapped, Dakhar’s investigation leads him to a sinister planet called Earth. 

But inner demons from his military service torment him, threatening his sanity, integrity, and the success of his mission. Can he bring the princess home before he loses his soul to ever-corrupting madness?

My Review:

As someone who seldom dips a toe into the science fiction waters, I was impressed with Ann Margaret Lewis’s world-building in the first book of this space opera trilogy.

With an ancient history alluded to in the Book of Genesis, the characters inhabit a fully fleshed-out world with customs, language, culture, religion, and a curious plant-based technology.

[Note: The glossary at the end is helpful. I figured out the terms in context, but had I been reading a paperback rather than an ebook, I would have made better use of this handy reference.]

Despite the differences between our world and that of the Emunim, there is much for we humans to glean about sin and its consequences, absolution, and even the nature of marriage.

For those put off by fantastical stories with made-up religions, the author imagines what is essentially other worlds and races who are, ultimately, saved by Christ – same as us. There’s nothing here that conflicts with Christian belief.

Because I read heavily in romance subgenres, I was looking for more conventional obstacles to the romantic relationship between Dakhar and Tasia. This, however, is a space opera, and I think it hits those notes quite well.

In Nephilim: Corruption, you’ll find adventure, warfare, space chases, chivalry, and humor. I thoroughly enjoyed it – 4.5 stars!
