A few brief words of warning. This is a fantasy, except there is no magic. What science there is, at least some of it isn't here yet, maybe never will be. There's some foul language – sorry but it felt like it belonged – and some erotic scenes – ditto, although not too explicit. There's also a degree of peril in there, but all in all it is a fantasy and in the best tradition of such tales there is (spoiler alert) a happily ever after.
