About the Author
Leland Exton Modesitt, Jr., was born on October 19, 1943 in Denver to Leland Exton and Nancy Lila Modesitt. He was educated at Williams College and earned a graduate degree from the University of Denver. Modesitt's career has included stints as a navy lieutenant, a market research analyst, and a mostrar mais real estate sales associate. He has also held various positions within the U.S. government as a legislative assistant and as director of several agencies. In the early 1980s, he was a lecturer in science fiction writing at Georgetown University. After graduation, Modesitt began to write, but he did not have a novel published until he was 39 years old. He believes that a writer must "simultaneously entertain, educate and inspire... [failing any one of these goals], the book will fall flat." A part-time writer, he produces an average of one book per year, but he would eventually like to write full-time. The underlying themes of many of his science fiction novels are drawn from his work in government work and involve the various aspects of power and how it changes the people and the structure of government. Usually, his protagonist is an average individual with hero potential. Much of his "Forever Hero Trilogy"--Dawn for a Distant Earth, The Silent Warrior, and In Endless Twilight--is based on his experiences working with the Environmental Protection Agency. He made The New York Times Best Seller List in 2012 with his title Princeps. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

Imager: The First Book of the Imager Portfolio por L. E. Modesitt
I am going to say that this book isn’t for everyone. Hell, it wasn’t for me the first two times I tried to read it. This time though I plowed through it. It is not a fast paced book and spends a lot of time in philosophy and world building. I think the pace was what through me the first couple of times but for some reason I was in the right frame of mind and could not put it down.
A sci-fi bureaucratic mystery novel, starring an ecologist, based on a painting. I liked it, but it could have used more thorough editing - some of the author's conventions for first-person perspective got stale.
The Order War is the 4th volume in the Recluse Saga and I think that they are getting better with each one. I very much like the everyday niceness of the interactions among some character relationships. It makes the buildup to the climax that much more interesting in the sense of the Recluse heroes are everyday people placed into extraordinary circumstances and they have to muddle their way through. Just like most of us do with our own everyday lives. What makes these ordinary folks heroes in this saga is that they make the tough choices required to accomplish what needs to be done. I like that sense of the real everyday in a fantasy novel.… (mais)
