About this ebook
Bestselling author of The Mongrel Mage, L. E. Modesitt, Jr's Quantum Shadows blends science fiction, myth, and legend in an adventure that pits old gods and new against one another in a far future world.
On a world called Heaven, the ten major religions of mankind each have its own land governed by a capital city and ruled by a Hegemon. That Hegemon may be a god, or a prophet of a god. Smaller religions have their own towns or villages of belief.
Corvyn, known as the Shadow of the Raven, contains the collective memory of humanity’s Falls from Grace. With this knowledge comes enormous power.
When unknown power burns a mysterious black image into the holy place of each House of the Decalivre, Corvyn must discover what entity could possibly have that much power. The stakes are nothing less than another Fall, and if he doesn't stop it, mankind will not rise from the ashes.

Normally I love books by L.E Modesitt but this was just watching the journey of one air spirit as he attempted to figure out what was wrong in an idealized version of the world. The plot was purely philosophical with very little evidence of character development or depth. Characters were unengaging and enigmatic without being relatable. Far too many pages about dining in restaurants and the quality of food in various places. Highly disappointed by this novel. I had high hopes.

Why dont you sell nonfiction instead of made up stories that are pointless, maybe even crazy nutty junk. I worry for society's sanity.
