Book 1 of one of the most original sci-fi/epic fantasy series set in a post-eco-collapse world.

Sal thinks he's escaped an assassination attempt. But now he's on a journey that will likely kill him anyway, accompanying two monks with a violent past.

An ocean way, Nyx is on the run, carrying a vital package that might make all the difference for life on earth. Her pursuers are closing in, and winter snows are blocking her way forward ...

The world is dropping into a new Dark Age. Led by a ruthless duke and some very strange cults. The Monks of St. Bacchan brew wine with unpredictable effects. The Monks of Han-Bu are trying to destroy the world ... again. The Tectonic Monks want to save it ... along with some very odd endangered species.

"Staadecker delivers a rich world of fantasy, hard science, satire, outrageous puns, wild adventure and even a touch of romance that will captivate readers from age 13 to 113."

For fans of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman and/or JK Rowling.

Captivating Voyages Through a Wonderful and Bizarre World

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 May 2019

I really had no idea what I was getting into when I picked this up, but the writing, characters and the strange and amusing world swept me up and carried me along.

In many ways a classic romp in the fantasy style with a certain spark of individuality and charm that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Quirky and humorous moments and concepts make for a great read with a touch of Pratchett and are handled in a natural way so as not to veer into the goofy.

A wonderful story on its own and I look forward to further Illyrian Voyages!

Loved this series!!!!

Reviewed in Canada on 9 January 2021

I decided to buy this series after reading Peter Staadecker's first book 'The Twelve Man Bilbo Choir' (which is an exceptional book, and a MUST READ!!).
This series, though very different, is just as captivating! Staadecker takes you on a wild adventure with twists and turns around every corner.
It's hard not to fall in love with the characters as they make their way to their "destinations" (I don't want to spoil it for you!)
The places you visit and get to "see" are breathtaking and otherworldly, and I wish they were real!
You will totally get lost in these books and next thing you know it's 4 am and you have to force yourself to put the book down so you can get a "quick nap" in before your alarm goes off at 7 am (true story!).
If you love a good fantasy story, are a bit of an enviro science nerd, or just plain love a great book... GET THIS SERIES!

Trust me you will not be disappointed! Happy reading fellow bookworms!

Gave three of the books by this author to someone who already had the e-book copies but badly wanted to add paperback copies to their shelf.

A fun read

Reviewed in Canada on 22 November 2018

This was a fun and lighthearted read. There are so many wonderfully hilarious scenarios that I chuckled out loud at times. I couldn't put it down and almost went through it at one sitting. Although, many of the themes and characters can be taken at a much deeper level.
