About the book - Prelude
Facing down the insanity of the Borderlands, Captain Ganse leads a handpicked team of Aether Guards on patrol.
Long trained and battled hardened, this band of heroes must forsake magic and hunt the vile Spawn with deadly determination, simple brutal weapons and obscure advice buried in an ancient book.
What starts as another routine sweep soon becomes a battle for survival as they are challenged by horrors powerful beyond record. Now, not even skill, experience and the Captain’s unique family legacy can guarantee the patrol’s survival. In a chain of battles where the soldiers must win every time but the enemy needs but a single victory, can the patrol triumph or will the Realm’s dark blood finally choke the bright heart of their homelands?
Grimmdark meets Bronzepunk in this action packed novella that launches a unique hard fantasy epic set in a deeply immersive character centred world.

About the series - Borderlands
Trapped in an eternal battle against the all surrounding Realm of Chaos, the nations of the The Rationalle fight to preserve the purity of their oasis and its most sacred relic, The Temporalis.
In the shadow of the Realm’s corruption, where steel turns to dust, stone walls crumble and spells turn on the caster the battle-hardened Aether Guard hunt down and destroy the ravening Spawn before it can reach their home.
Skill and experienced notwithstanding, their sworn enemy surfacing deep within the Rationalle itself catches them completely un-prepared. On this new battle front politics and ambition prove even deadlier than the Spawn they pursue. Can they keep up with their enemy, or will the Realm of Chaos finally desecrate the Temporalis itself?
Grimmdark marries Bronzepunk in this hard fantasy epic where action abounds in a unique and immersive world of captivating characters and frightful monsters.

4.0 out of 5 stars A potential great beginning
Reviewed in the United States on 21 September 2021

This book is a great beginning to what I suspect will become a complex series.

World building and combat are the author's strength. I believed I was there, experiencing every moment. It felt like a 1st person game, which as a novella is impressive.

However, I hope the author expands upon their grammar and word use. This book deserves a second release after hiring a professional editor that works in this genre.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good taster novella for a longer series
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 April 2019

This is a relatively short novella which is a taster for a series of longer novels. Echoes of the Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones with walls/forts protecting a civilised area from the evil beyond and troops patrolling into the danger zone. This a linear story about a patrol into the 'borderlands' which meets with and dispatches a series of monsters. The combat sequences flow well, the monsters are interesting and there's enough backstory to start awakening interest in the main character. My one complaint would be that it works too well as a taster and ends on a cliffhanger which leaves you wanting more when the 'main course' isn't released yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting Start to a Fantasy Series
Reviewed in the United States on 25 May 2020

Borderlands Book 0 is an exciting start to a fantasy series.

As an introduction, the author has concentrated more on the world building to set the stage for greater things to come. To use a Game of Thrones analogy, Borderlands:Prelude would be a group of the Night's Watch patrolling beyond the Wall. While the plot is framed within the context of finding the solution to the enigma creeping into the Borderlands, the execution is episodic as the patrol is forced to deal with a diverse variety of foes that attacks not only their physical beings but their psyche as well.

The narrative is from the POV of the MC Captain Ganse and is well written, keeping the reader deeply immersed in several intense action scenes. The details to the world are vivid, you can feel yourself being part of the patrol and living in the world. The characters are for the most part, men trying to get their job done and get home, so most of the character development comes via the adversity of the challenges the patrol encounters. I like the variety of solutions, some by the fairly extensive "Book" (which is almost like a separately character), and the ones not by the "Book."

There is a nice MC revelation at the end (which I loved) and a hook for the next book.

Well worth the read and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Action Packed!

If you like science fantasy and a lot of action, this book will be great for you. The world is interesting and detailed, as is the endless battle and struggle of the characters. While the atmosphere is fantastic, I did feel the story was lacking in character development. Outside a couple of references to family, there isn't any insight to the characters' past and feelings until the very end. However, since I know this is just a short prelude to a series, it's more than possible that the following books delve better into these things. Definitely worth a look if you're into scifi, fantasy, action, and apocalyptic scenarios.

3.0 out of 5 stars A lot of action

This is basically a prologue for another book, which isn't bad but it doesn't do a great job of introducing the world or characters.
