REVIEWS FOR GODS OF KIRANIS; WINNER, NYC BIG BOOK AWARD 2021 (SF CATEGORY); "The pace is fast...packed with action...merges fantasy with science fiction in an intricate plot...[t]he background building is intense, the plot is complex, and the characters are realistic...a series to keep an eye on." RF 5-Star Review; "...explanations are [sharp]...characters are [...] alive...the pace is [...] fast...and the rationale behind the connecting plots [is] structured. Strong characters both male and female - refreshingly strong female characters, actually. All in all, highly recommended." Goodreads Reviewer; "The premise is new, the setting intricate, with the action and twists in the plot continuous, unexpected, and engaging. Elements of science fiction and fantasy that you may think you are familiar with are given new nuance, with a host of characters and species that will leave you wanting more." Ishmael A. Soledad, Author of Sha'Kert: End of Night; "The plot is intricate and the complexities only serve to focus the mind on this devilishly clever fusing of time-travel, religion, relics of the past, and science fiction. I was constantly surprised by the twists and turns in this amazing tale, and this kept me reading until the very end." Goodreads Reviewer

With the Shield around Earth nearing completion, its enigmatic architects are about to make themselves known. Powerful men are in control of Kwaios technology, overseeing the destiny of humankind. But the great transport system called MEC is a monumental lie, and the Kwaios have had a hundred years to set their trap. Guided by the Prophet Naveen, one man is in the centre of a star-spanning scheme that will shift the balance of power forever. But he is only one man. - Pawns of The Prophet is the second instalment of the 7-Part epic Science Fantasy series Kiranis, continuing the machinations of the Prophet Naveen. Expanding the Kiranis universe, Pawns of The Prophet introduces us to new species, new worlds, and new concepts underpinning this unique journey.
"This, the second volume in Geobey's multiverse-straddling epic, propels the reader deeper into the machinations and minds of his chief protagonists, their worlds, and the forces that drive them. Things are never as they seem, each layer a prelude to others, every climax a beginning. With Geobey you must expect the unexpected, embrace detail that informs the big picture, and revel in the twilight between science fiction and fantasy. Alternating between the reflective and rapid-paced, twisting action, Pawns of the Prophet is a wonderful follow-on to Gods of Kiranis. But be warned. What you thought you knew as true is, like Naveen himself, illusory at best; simply another lie at worst." Ishmael A. Soledad; "...a huge revenge plot...Geobey kicks your expectations out the window...I loved the Abigale-Hannah subplot...[t]he outcome is as heartbreaking as it is astonishing, and Geobey's penchant for interrelated plot lines keeps things tight and demands that you pay attention to otherwise throwaway details. No wasted exposition or dialogue, everything meaningful and subliminal....[f]rom emotionally charged death scenes to spectacular outer space action that screams big screen..." Goodreads Reviewer; You cannot read Pawns of the Prophet without first reading Gods of Kiranis, regardless of what anybody else might tell you. Even with a century of change, without the fossilized footprint a reader is not only missing out on the entire premise, but they are also missing out on the exemplary critical first book of a series that is religiously plotted and planned by author Ronald A. Geobey. As a person who is the first generation of a people born free of a formerly colonized land, I most connected with Arrien Echad, even when he has been effectively forgotten about and is more of an urban legend than a real person. As a father, Abigale's character arc cut most deeply and there is no end to that pain. This is compounded by Samuel's mental health issues where he is consumed by fear of death, so the staunch resistance to progeny while another's is callously used is fascinating in the degree of irony here. Geobey writes with skill and authority. There are no loopholes and it is clean and meticulous in every conceivable way. The science fiction is on point and the fantasy elements [dragons!] coexist brilliantly. I'm hooked and just so pleased with this series...and impatient for book three. Very, very highly recommended.
