Guardian Dawn by Anthony Stevens
Publisher: Lyrical Press
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Summary: Good and evil battle on common ground.
In this first installment of the Common Ground Series, the US Capitol is under attack from a handful of extremists. Dedicated to their cause and led by man whose cruelty knows no bounds, the enemy is poised to unleash hell on earth.
A lone shaman with military connections must gather a force of unconventional heroes to derail the attacks. Each warrior possesses skills in a new brand of warfare, and they just might succeed if their leader can convince them the key to victory rests not in the hands of their allies, but in their allies' paws and claws...
The Common Ground Series pits old magic and technological wizardry against a universal enemy. Epic, sprawling battles threaten to divide and destroy both the natural and man-made worlds alike as they struggle to defeat an evil bent on their extinction.
My Review: This book was certainly interesting, if nothing else. I have to admit that this is not my usual style of book. In Guardian Dawn, we have Guardians who are watched over closely by animals, which speak to each other and certain other people. Our two most important Guardians are a homeless man and woman who watch out for signs of trouble and keep the people of the city safe. We are also introduced to several other characters, all very different, but very
important to the story and the survival of the city. Each of these characters have talents, some known and some not, but they all have a pale blue aura that marks them as different, as Other. These characters form a team that fights a small group of terrorists, intent on destroying their city. I have to say that for me, this story was laid out in a way that made it not flow well and at times, I wondered why I continued to read. However, Anthony Stevens kept me just interested enough, because I kept wandering how all these different people, from different walks of life and different parts of the city, could possibly come together to make this plot move on. Like I said, if nothing else, this book was interesting and shows what talent Mr. Stevens has at imagining a complicated plot with several seemingly unrelated characters and bringing all those details together to create a very strong team.
