The Warrior Within
The Warrior Within | Angus McIntyre
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Angus McIntyre makes his debut with The Warrior Within, a mind-bending science fiction adventure about a man with many people living in his head Karsman has a dozen different people living in his head, each the master of a different set of skills and hoping to gain mastery of Karsman’s body. He survives on a backwater planet dominated by the Muljaddy, a mostly ambivalent religious autocracy, where devotion and prayer can be traded in for subsistence wages and enough food to survive. Surrounded by artifacts of a long dead civilization, the population survives off its salvage, with Karsman eking out an uneventful life as the unofficial mayor of his small town. But that life is soon interrupted, when a group of commandos arrive, coming from the wastelands as only off-worlders could. They've come to kill a woman, or so they say. At first the commandos merely threaten as they search. Unable to find what they're looking for, they begin to ratchet up their measures, separating the men from the women, instigating violent encounters, and eventually staging a coup against the Muljaddy and his Temple. Faced with the task of protecting his quiet town and a woman he might love from the commandos who could want to kill her, Karsman must balance between maintaining his personality and harnessing the personas whose skills he desperately needs. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

I‘m glad I took the risk and bought this. Karsman and his 5 inner personas were so intriguing and the plot kept you wanting more. Some bad guys show up in town and need to find a girl to kill her, and Karsman gets pulled into the middle of it. The only thing I do wish was different would have been more depth into the different personas in Karsmans mind, it mainly focuses on two of them, but it‘s a novella so it‘s okay I‘ll let it slide haha.
