This review is from: Creation Myth (Paperback)

This first-class adventure romance just sneaks up on you.

Torbay's writing is meaty and full of imagery, the characters are sharply focused and their dialogue rings true to me. The plot structure is complex, Creation Myth weaves back and forth so well it's hard to put down, and there's always a new thread being woven in at just the right moment. The action sequences are rugged, and sometimes brutal, but the final chapter, (as the cover claims it to be), is sublime and emotionally satisfying.

I'm going to have to read it again.
