REVIEWS

SHARI MEYR (Port Orange FL) - - "It was quite by accident that I stumbled upon a web page of this writer and his newly released book, Destiny of the Sword. I could not resist such a knightly title, and the cover art was captivating. What I saw in the face of Jeremy in the author's photo was enough to assure me he had written a great story. There was a depth of creativity behind the eyes, and appropriate to the theme of his book, he was not smiling. I was hooked from that moment. I knew I had to buy Destiny.

The old adage, "Never judge a book by its cover," does not apply in this case. The cover attracted me like a magnet. When I opened the book and began reading, each page drew me deeper and deeper into its realm. Every time I turned a page, it got better and better. The characters developed with perfect timing. Their relationships evolved naturally and were never forced. Fight scenes were described in such a way as to allow the reader to picture every move and feel the intensity, without resorting to the "blood and gore for the sake of blood and gore" that some fantasy-adventure novels use.

The same is true of the romance in Destiny. The author lets love develop gradually, gently, in numerous tender moments that always leave the reader wanting more. This is the fantasy of which women dream. So ladies – if you think a "sword story" has to be nothing but pillaging and plundering, think again. Read this book!

Destiny of the Sword is suitable for all ages, or at least anyone over 12. It is clean, original, exciting, thoroughly engrossing and offers something for everyone. I retreated to the patio on a stormy day and read it front to back in one sitting, undisturbed. It was an incredible escape. The words danced into my eyes and on to my mind where I visualized the story as a magnificent motion picture. I strongly recommend this book to everyone. Buy it (and the next two in the series of three when they are available) and lose yourself in this realm that Jeremy Twigg has created."

TOM MCDERMITT (Washington, DC) - - "This is not ususally the type of book that I would buy for myself, but a good friend gave me a copy so I figured that I would at least give it a try just in case they asked if I had liked it. Well 2 days later I'm through trying it. I've never read a book in 2 days before, but it was an easy read and very entertaining. I never once got bored or skipped ahead because it never seemed to drag on or lag in any area of the book. If this author writes another one I hope my friend gives me another copy, and if not, then I'll run out and buy it myself. I would recomend it for all ages."

TABITHA ROBIN (Author of The Burning Bush) - - "This novel is Blockbuster perfection in the highest form. An exhilaratingly brainy thriller, this is pure genius. . . This story is a pulse-quickening, brain-teasing adventure, a masterpiece that should be obligatory to be read. The plot in this book is exceedingly clever, fascinating and fun; full of thundering, tantalizing, extremely exhilarating ride. It will cause your heart to race and your soul to soar. This is one of the most satisfying and most unexpected reads of this time. Jeremy Twigg has an impressive grasp of his material; he is a more astute storyteller than most of his brethren in the fictional fantasy vein. A fantastic yet, believable story unfolding at breakneck pace, Exciting stuff; if you are looking for a world of its own you must own this book. These characters have depth, the plot is twisty, turny, slippery, and surprising, as for the end. . .WOW!"

MARTIN T. INGRAM (Science fiction novelist) - - ". . . Destiny of the Sword is an imaginative Fantasy adventure. The characters are very human and really come alive in your mind, and the landscape and medieval settings are sufficiently defined without becoming banal. There are plenty of action scenes, as well as deep-seeded emotional conflicts that preoccupy the lives of the heroes and villains alike. The story is suitable for fantasy fans of all ages, with nothing crude or grotesque between the margins. There are a few chapters that start off in present tense, which is used to draw the reader into the story, and instill a sense of immediacy to the action. Some critics may deride this artistic divergence from normalcy, but I found it served a purpose, and helped kick off the first few chapters with a bang! Destiny of the sword is only the first part of an ongoing saga, and I, for one, am eager to read the next installment of this epic."
