About the Author

A.R. Yngve was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1969. In the early 1990s he worked briefly as writer-artist on his creator-owned comic strip ”E+”, published by Semic Press. DARC AGES was written and re-written under a period of several years, and first appeared as a serial on the Internet (1999-2000). Among his other finished novels to date are PARRY’S PROTOCOL, ALIEN BEACH, and TERRA HEXA. He currently lives in Scandinavia, working for the software industry. His recipe for writing: ”Work hard; read until your eyes bleed; don’t quit your day job.”

About DARC AGES: “I wanted to create an epic adventure that combined realism with the fantastic. That entertained without insulting the reader’s intelligence, and made a statement about the human condition. I intend to write more books set in that imaginary world... there are no real endings to stories, only interruptions.”

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful beyond your worst imaginations, June 28, 2005

By 

Shannon Cross (Nevada, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Darc Ages (Paperback)

I read this book and it was the worst experience of my life. I can't imagine anyone doing anything more horrible to a person than making him read darc ages. The story sucked. The characters, pitifully written. You ask me, this deserves a -6 rating.

Thumbs down.
