from The Belfast Podcast · host Luke Byler
4 out of 5 flying saucers for Dr. Heiser's first science fiction novel. If you want to skip straight to the review, it starts at 10:33 I wanted to review this book because I have enjoyed much of Dr. Heiser's other work and was pleasantly surprised by his first fore into fiction. It is not perfect, but it was a delightful read! I start the discussion with a link to a previous Gresham novel I read and some comments from Stephen King's book "On Writing" that helped me frame what Heiser is up to. I found it fun to talk about, but again, if you want to skip straight to the review, go to this timestamp: 10:33 Links: "The Facade" on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Fa%C3%A7ade-Saga-Book-ebook/dp/B00NBJKYN0/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=the+facade&qid=1624583834&sr=8-2 "The Portent" on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Portent-Fa%C3%A7ade-Saga-Book-ebook/dp/B00N41UDCM/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=the+portent&qid=1624583935&sr=8-2 Stephen King's "On Writing": https://www.amazon.com/Writing-Memoir-Craft-Stephen-King/dp/1439193630/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=on+writing&qid=1624583881&sr=8-1
