Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Fans of McMullen's epic far-future SF Greatwinter trilogy (Souls in the Great Machine, etc.) will be pleased to find that the Australian author has brought his world-building expertise to his first fantasy novel, eschewing the genre's typical cookie-cutter black vs. white conflicts. Emperor Warsovran plots to take over the world with Silverdeath, a legendary weapon buried centuries ago in a ravine for fear that its awesome power would be misused. When Warsovran digs Silverdeath up and unleashes its wave of immense heat on the continent of Torea, the only survivors are the motley crew of the schooner Shadowmoon, a cargo vessel with some curious enhancements and a decidedly secret mission. Aboard the Shadowmoon are several individuals bent on countering or even stealing Silverdeath. As various lords and nobles scramble to take advantage of the power vacuum created by Torea's destruction, alliances crumble and reform. Boatmaster Feran Woodbar, the warrior Roval Gravalios and his companion, vampyre Laron, warring priestesses of the nearly extinct Metrologan Order and a host of dispossessed royalty bent on revenge are among the large cast of distinctive characters portrayed with wit and skill. McMullen has once again crafted a marvelously unpredictable and intricate story, full of swashbuckling intrigue and adventure on a grand scale.

From Library Journal
When the Emperor Warsovran discovers a powerful artifact called Silverdeath, he uses it to further his ambitious plans of world conquest; instead, Silverdeath reveals itself as a weapon capable of destruction on a global scale. United only by their determination to find a way to capture and neutralize Silverdeath, the passengers of the small schooner Shadowmoon embark on an epic journey to save their world. The author of the "Greatwinter Trilogy" (Souls in the Great Machine; The Miocene Arrow; Eyes of the Calculor) crafts an intriguing fantasy world where magic resides in the cosmic "ether," souls from other worlds inhabit oracular devices, and a 14-year-old vampyre holds the secret of the world's salvation. One of Australia's most inventive sf authors demonstrates his prodigious talent for fantasy in a standalone novel that belongs in most libraries. Highly recommended.
