Here is my review of this wonderful high seas adventure:
First of all, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to George Bryan Polivka and his publisher for sending me a copy of "Blaggard's Moon" to review for them. I have always been grateful for this generosity, but haven’t been very consistent in taking the time to thank them in a public forum. I really appreciate your time, effort and expense in making a reviewer copy available to me.
George Polivka’s “Blaggard’s Moon” is a truly wonderful book. The author of “The Legend of the Firefish” does not disappoint in this tale of incredible fantasy novel of piracy, intrigue and adventure on the high seas! This novel is the perfect place to start reading as it is the prequel to the Trophy Case Trilogy which consists of “The Legend Of The Firefish”, “The Hand That Bears The Sword”, and “The Battle For Vast Dominion”. This is a wonderful novel about choices and consequences seasoned with the salty sea air. “Blaggard’s Moon” has it all – romance, war, swashes and buckles. This is masterfully written Christian science fiction, a genre that is very new to me, but becoming dearer with every novel I read. The author’s language takes the reader to new levels, proving that intellectuals really do read and write quality fantasy.

I'm happy you liked it. When an author tries something unique as Bryan did with the structure of this story, I'm always eager to see what others thought.
I thought he did an incredible job working in Delany's thoughts with the story he remembered. I was so engaged with both--curious and expectant yet never knowing just how it would all end up. That's a hard thing to pull off in a prequel!
