What is science fantasy?

Think Dune, Star Wars, Final Fantasy—a fantasy setting with sci-fi themes and ideas, or vice versa! It’s a natural fusion of two genres that are often lumped together and sat in a corner, anyway. Chances are, if you like at least one of the genres, you’ll enjoy a mix of them.

So what is The Last Eye of Time, and why is it science fantasy?

Well, it’s a fantasy adventure at heart: the setting, the feel, the mood. But its brain is science fiction. Make sense? Think about a smartphone finding its way to a medieval village, along with its owner, and you might have an inkling. You’re in a mud-lined hut with no running water, but you can see that there is something more to the world than anybody knows.

But that’s just the start. The Last Eye of Time is a an adventure from some past—or future—era. Its themes may be contemporary or they may be old-fashioned; they may even have something to them that can’t really be compared to just yet. But all of the ideas within its pages have some grounding, some foundation, in the natural human spirit and therefore a potential to connect us as reader and writer. No matter what was, is, or will be in fashion at any given moment.

If I don’t like fantasy and I don’t like sci-fi, why should I read it?

Because it’s a human story. The genre is just a backdrop when you break it down, just as all stories are. The setting may inform the shelf on which it’s placed in the bookstore, but it’s the characters and their struggles and successes. It’s the universal quandaries of love and hate, life and death, good and evil, and our exploration of what’s in between.

Or, maybe, it’s just a story. Read it, and you tell me.
