Re: Back-side blurb

seems to have promise although a touch cliche'd, especially the names, although no doubt original they seem like you have tried to hard with them. (I may be wrong!)

Underground war smacks of so so erm so (is that to many so's Rider ;o) many other books and "Baldurs gate the game" any one?? As is the bored underachieving scholar who let me guess is destined for greatness??

Don't get me wrong I love a good read and this type of book I'm a fan of, if well written, but perhaps a little less obvious and paint by numbers plot in the blurb would help, I'd think seen it got the T-shirt, if I read this in a bookshop.

The General? Which nation is he the General of? Faithful to who? Perhaps to much of a character give away in a blurb. His torn loyalties should be laid on the reader more subtly not just handed on a plate.

A great base though good luck.
