Official Review Of Black City Saint


Black City Saint- written by Richard A Knaak              
Coming March 2016


    The difference between fiction and non-fiction is that fiction must be absolutely believable- Mark Twain


     This quote came to mind after reading Richard A Knaak's new book, Black City Saint. His ability to give us an alternate experience of the "Roaring Twenties" made his fiction novel seem believable. Al Capone and the Great Chicago Fire is well known to all, and he was able to give us a different view of it all.

     Black City Saint is set in Chicago in the 1920s following the Chicago fire. The main character, Nick Medea, guards the gate between our world and a more sinister world. Part of being the guardian is to protect the people of Chicago from the shadows who have somehow crossed over. Through it all, Nick must also save the reincarnation of the woman he loves, deal with treacherous people, and contain the one thing that could potentially destroy it all.....again.

     For me, this book housed some of my favorite aspects of the sci-fi/fantasy genre. Magic, heroes, love, and mystical creatures, are just a few examples. I enjoyed this so much that I found myself unable to put it down. I was immediately drown into it within the first curious page. The descriptive writing painted a clear picture, and I was enthralled by the main character through the whole book. I expected nothing less from a book written by such an iconic figure in the fantasy community.

                                                   EYE thoroughly enjoyed Black City Saint.
                                  (You will understand that after you read Black City Saint yourself.)
