Wonderful dreamy language evokes the totalitarian settings and the mysterious natural ones wonderfully. This is the last of three books following an odd man in an odd world as he battles with others to save the world. Part spy thriller, part allegory of Stalin-era Russia, part fantasy epic, all wonderful.

Format: Kindle Edition
The final installment of a creative fantasy trilogy drawing on Russian-Soviet history and literature. This particular book draws on Yevgeny Zamyatin's great dystopian novel We. In fact, one important aspect of this trilogy, the opposition between pharaonic attempts to reshape the natural world and the natural world itself might be an expansion of a minor feature of We. This was certainly a feature of Soviet life. This is a very well written book and the use of Russian-Soviet history and literature is creative. This final book ties together themes and aspects of the prior books very well. Higgins avoids the obvious and the integration of the trilogy is presented implicitly through the plot and character development. These books have to be read together and in order but the results are well worth the effort.

Peter Higgins' excellent Wolfhound Century trilogy comes to a close with Radiant State. This series has been an outstanding read so far, and the finale brought more of the same surreal genre-bending dystopian thrill ride that I was eagerly anticipating. Mr. Higgins has a subtly brilliant, poetic style of writing that creates extremely vivid images in the mind's eye, and his alternate-reality-1950s era U.S.S.R.-ish setting is one of the coolest, most well-done fantasy worlds I've had the pleasure of exploring (and I read a LOT of sci-fi/fantasy).

Having soundly defeated the forces of the Archipelago and undergone a rapid totalitarian makeover, Josef Kantor/General Rizhin's New Vlast now stands poised on the brink of interstellar travel using angel-powered rocketships. Meanwhile, Vissarion Lom and Maroussia Shaumian have disappeared from society - he's living a nomadic underground lifestyle using forged identification in the shadows of the New Vlast, and she's been unwillingly transported to the depths of the forest, a reluctant ally to its imprisonment of the trapped Archangel. But the New Vlast's singleminded, inexorable grasp for the stars and the expansion of humanity conceals a terrible secret, and Lom and Maroussia must work together to achieve the impossible and bring down Rizhin before it's too late.

Seriously, this is a great book and an awesome series - it's the kind of story where you find yourself unable to focus on anything but reading as fast as possible while wishing for it not to end. If you're a fan of dystopian novels, fantasy/sci-fi/weird fiction, or political/espionage/alternate history thrillers, you're doing yourself a disservice not to check out the entire Wolfhound Century trilogy.

I have been captivated by the three books in this series and hope it continues and that Peter Higgins keeps writing. These are fantasy novels about a vaguely Russian continent and an old style Soviet government with a mythical world beneath. The writing is luminous, almost like symbolist poetry. The characters are fully developed and all pawns in a totalitarian state in endless war; but, a mythical earlier world exists beneath or behind the current reality. Mr. Higgins understands quantum physics and knows his Russian history and art. His description of weapons made me believe they were real. There is no other fantasy writer like this!
