Last Worst Hopes: The World of Dynamicist

'A superior epic fantasy, driven by strong characterization and a sense of utter desperation.' - Booklife Reviews Editor's Pick 'Hunt exemplifies how to make heroes shine within the large cast of a sprawling saga. A sumptuous bonus meal for fans who devoured the author's Dynamicist trilogy.' - Kirkus Reviews 'A skyrocketing plot interspersed with deliciously entertaining and well-constructed scenes of fierce battles and magic. Equally intriguing is Hunt’s musing on friendship, courage, bravery, integrity, and duty. Un-put-downable.' - BookView Recommended Read 'Hunt’s highly gripping standalone is as much a cerebral story as an action-driven tale. This is a whirlwind adventure that will leave readers hungry for more.' - Prairies Book Review Their world was ending, all the heroes were dead, the leaders confused, and their enemies were head and shoulders above them. But there was no one else; they were the dregs, the last worst hopes. Nehring Ardgour has summoned Skoll and Hati from hell. They have torn through the proud and ancient country of Engevelen and the angelic Methueyn Knights that protect it. Armies have died, cities have fallen. None of the great remain. No brilliant inventors, no powerful knights, no master wizards. No heroes. But it gets worse. Farrah Harbinger has looked into the future and foretells the coming of an enemy worse than all the others, a creature of destruction and entropy like no other. A being who will grind all hopes and memory of civilization into dust: the One, True Devil. Who can stop it? Who is left to even try? Surely not Val, an arrogant young wizard who no one takes seriously, or Mick, an old man who can’t even remember his name. Certainly not Dav, who cannot seem to tell left from right or up from down, or Aveline, a squire filled with more questions than courage. No one would pick them to save the world, and yet there is no one else left.

Knight in Retrograde

'This is a sterling end to a rich, concept-driven series. This trilogy finale will thrill readers who want thoughtful, inventive fantasy powered by ideas.' - Booklife Reviews (Editor's Pick) 'Strong characters face a maelstrom in this intense, intellectually rigorous fantasy series finale.' - Kirkus Reviews Recommended Read 'I highly recommend the Dynamicist trilogy, and Knight in Retrograde in particular – Hunt has crafted something truly special here.' J. Scott Coatsworth, Liminal Fiction Would you trade uncertainty for stagnation, chance for god, invention for inertia, thought for dogma? Four years have passed since the events of Dynamicist and war is on the horizon. Robert, Koria, Eloise and Gregory went to the New School, hoping to change the world. They thought that mathematically based dynamics, the enlightened age's answer to wizardry, would give them the power to make everything better. Their hopes were naïve. Protestors are condemning the creation of a new vaccine. The city is seeing a series of hangings; is it murder or sacrament? The cloaked man is back stalking students. The long-absent demons Skoll and Hati reappear and begin slaughtering whoever they meet. But the real question is, will Nimrheal return? If he does, who will die first? Uncertainty is inspiring fear, and inventions are not making the world better, only more complicated. The terrified civilians don't want dynamics and reason. They want the word of Elysium and the return of the Methueyn Knights. Koria fears the world faces an awful conundrum: that if the Knights return, Nimrheal will stay. Will Robert, Koria, Eloise and Gregory choose to transform into angelic knights or, at the cost of such heavenly communion, instead banish Nimrheal? What price will be paid? If a new Methueyn Knight rises, will the age of invention disappear forever?

Herald

A bold fantasy sequel that delivers on the first volume's call to action. This has deep relevance to life in the early 21st century. -Kirkus Reviews Recommended Read This is an exciting, expansive, and ultimately satisfying exploration of the meaning of heroism, the economics of magic, and the role of innovation in society. - Booklife Reviews These books will change how you see the world. - Amanda Hall, Summit Nanotech Herald's quite a ride, one I’d recommend taking if you love fantasy and want something that’s not like everything else already on your SFF shelf. And that’s one of the highest compliments I can give to a well-written, page turning book like this one. - J. Scott Coatsworth, Liminal Fiction Robert thought becoming a dynamicist would enable him to change the world, starting with saving all his friends from being slaughtered. He was wrong. Acts of genuine creativity used to bring mortal punishment. But now, wizardry is dead and Robert, Koria and Eloise live in a world where change and invention is possible. Robert hopes that mathematically-framed dynamics will enable him to change the new world. But he keeps having prophetic dreams where his friends are all murdered by a mysterious cloaked man, and the grain protestors are more menacing than ever. They declare dynamics is dangerous and that the changes must stop. They are right about one thing: dynamics is dangerous, especially for someone so hopeful, angry and impetuous as Robert. Soon Robert’s horrific nightmares come true and a cloaked man appears on campus, stalking and murdering students --his friends are next. Desperate to change the future, Robert recklessly pushes the bounds of both dynamics and reason. Every crushing failure dampens Robert’s hope for the future and pushes him a step closer to the powerful, nihilistic, and merciless Lonely Wizard.

And to me, that’s a great accomplishment indeed.' -J. Scott Coatsworth, Liminal Fiction Would it kill you to create something genuinely new? In Robert’s world, it used to. Divine retribution for invention is now a thing of the past. Young, optimistic, quick of mind and quick to act, Robert thinks being invited to the New School is an invitation to change the world. Nothing is as simple as it first seems, least of all change. Robert is surprised and frustrated by everything from his classmates Koria and Eloise stalking him, to protestors claiming that the new grain is poison and its inventors should be murdered like in the old days. Worse yet, Robert has a dangerous, flash temper that is triggered by a campus assault. His anger has ties to a forgotten childhood, but Robert cannot change the world if he does not even understand himself. At the same time as Robert struggles on campus, a powerful, ruthless sociopath known only as the Lonely Wizard journeys across a desolate wilderness to return to his dying mother. As Robert and the Lonely Wizard head towards a collision, Robert finds that instead of entering a golden age of innovation, he may instead be on the brink of a cold war and a return to the stultifying, changeless dark age.
