Reviewed by Essien Asian for Readers’ Favorite
The entire planet is thrown into confusion when Prince Teodor, the crown prince and heir apparent to the Dodecahedral Empire, is kidnapped in the middle of a very public event. Guy Erma, a young lad from the streets with big dreams of joining the elite defense force, the Dome Militant, knows who could be brazen enough to pull it off. He doesn't realize it then, but Teodor's disappearance is central to an intricate conspiracy that will shape the empire's future. Guy is the only one who can stop this, but is he prepared to risk it all for someone who barely knows him? Find out which choice he makes in S A Melia's Son of Empire.
Son of Empire picks up where the first book in the series ends, providing a seamless transition for avid followers. The author uses Teodor's and Guy's flashbacks as reference points for new readers to follow the larger narrative, while still letting them enjoy this installment as a standalone. S A Melia balances adventure with politics, giving equal attention to Teodor's travails in captivity and the political battle his mother must fight to control Earth's defenses. Action fans will enjoy the detailed fight sequences, while adventure fans will find Teodor's constantly changing escape plans exciting. What stands out is how the author weaves subtle clues into conversations between the different factions of Teodor's court, helping perceptive readers unravel each faction's motives. Add the breakneck pacing, and you have an exciting adventure that science fiction fans won't want to put down.
