Now here’s a style of fantasy that I really enjoy. \u00a0You don’t often see dystopian fantasy these days, what with urban and contemporary fantasy being all the rage. \u00a0But when I was growing up, dystopian futures were some of the coolest things. \u00a0The Tripods series, The Girl Who Owned a City and The New Magic Trilogy all captured my heart when I was a wee lad, and I’ve been looking for something to return me to those times for quite a while.<\/p>\n

With Jason Latshaw’s\u00a0The Threat Below<\/em>, I believe I may have found just that. \u00a0This book, the first in the Brathius History series, takes place roughly three centuries in the future. \u00a0Traces of our civilization are still present, but for the most part, things have regressed to a much more primal state. \u00a0A lot of dystopian tropes are in place, such as the language and a sort of caste system, but they’re all expressed in fairly interesting ways.<\/p>\n

Three hundred years ago, something terrifying arose<\/em>\u00a0and pushed humanity to the brink of extinction. Now, a small remnant \u2013 ancestors of the survivors who were able to escape the massacre below \u2013 lives above the clouds, on the top of a Mountain.<\/p>\n

When they discover that their water supply is being poisoned Down Below, an expedition, including seventeen year-old girl Icelyn Brathius, must descend and face the monsters, the Threat Below, that wiped out civilization centuries ago.<\/p>\n

Icelyn quickly learns that all is not what it seems as she uncovers secrets hundreds of years old and struggles to stay alive in a world where no human is fit to survive.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Latshaw’s Brathius History series is sure to grow (besides this first book, he also has a short story that focuses on a ten-year-old Adorane). \u00a0In the meantime, check out The Threat Below<\/em> on Amazon<\/a>, especially if you’re into dystopian future fantasies. \u00a0You won’t be disappointed! \u00a0And keep an eye out for an interview that we’ll have with Latshaw in the very near future!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
