A cutting-edge starship...

...and a pint-sized black cat.

These are the weapons of a War Mage.

Twins, Sara and Cora Sonders, are newly minted Captains in the United Human Confederation’s Fleet. But could their first assignment turn out to be their last?

Thirty years ago, the Elif came from the stars. Their ships filling our skies. Unlike all the movies had taught us, they really did come in peace. They brought technology we had only dreamed possible, but more importantly, they brought us magic to make it all work.

Now they need something in return.

The UHS Raven, humanity's most advanced ship, will be Sara and Cora's first command. Are the experimental systems on the Raven too much for the twins to handle? It’s clear the Elif have a secret, and now it’s up to Sara and Cora to find the answers before humanity is wiped out completely.

You'll love the fast-paced action and thrilling battles in this Science Fantasy adventure.

Learn of Humanity's true Genesis. Get it now.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Charles is a writer

He writes books

He once ate an entire pizza then ran through the streets shouting to anyone that would listen that he was full.

Satisfaction comes easy for those who find satisfaction satisfying.

Charles really doesn't know what to write here... He made up that part about running through the streets and yelling. He has done that, but not after eating an entire pizza; though he has done that as well. Actually, everything so far is true, just not in the right order... That happens a lot.

If you're still reading this, Charles feels like you might be going through a tremendously boring time in your life, and recommends picking up a book. He just so happens to have a few you can choose from. If you don't like his books, then there are a few million on Amazon you can peruse at your own leisure. Though, if you don't like his books, why are you here? Why are any of us here? Is the universe just a simulation that will be reset when we die, like the restarting of the worst/best game in history?

Sorry, Charles may have gone down a Wikipedia rabbit hole last night, starting with 'Brown Bananas' and ending up with 'The Heat Death of the Universe'. it was a long night...

If you have any questions feel free to reach out and ask Charles, he might even show you how to make pancakes.

Great story. Manages to combine sci-fi and magic in a way that doesn't feel forced. The history that's revealed in this book makes me look forward to what is to come. Also, really neat tech descriptions that make the world even more fun to imagine. The relationships between the characters also feel real, deep, and nuanced. Can't wait for book 2!

But
Be warned while the first two books are complete for some reason the author has decided that the next book would be a cliffhanger.
Why is this sort of crap an acceptable practice? <insert multiple profanities here>
You are a thief. You stole my time and my money.

Read lots of Sci-Fi books and this one really kept my attention thoughout. Started fast and continued the whole way. Immediately got the 2 book in the series and consumed it. All action from beginning to end, and very likable main character.

A decent book, and certainly a gripping page-turner. I'm heavily reminded of both Stargate SG-1 and Glin Stewart's Starship Mage (although I would actually say that this book is better than that one!). However, there are
flaws- mostly in the form of misspellings and some grammar mistakes that set off my inner Grammar Natzi- but it's well worth the money!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just wonderful!

I was up to chapter 29 and it was 3 in the morning. Reluctantly, I had to sleep. Finished it the next day. This is so much fun and as a twin, I want a ship like The Raven and be part of a twin set. War Mage is a marvelous series. Great space story that is well written and exciting without the overwhelming sex and violence that seems to be normal in current sci-fi writing nowadays. You care about what happens to the characters and the battle tactics are well written and understandable to us ordinary people.
The back story of humans being more than they seem and coming back from treachery is fascinating and really unique and I love the whole concept. A Familiar/Human bond ? Would love to have it. The enemy is in so much trouble (snicker!).
Cannot wait to start on the next one but, unfortunately, housework must be done. .

I discovered this author through his Adventures of Finnegan Dragonbender, which I loved. Thought I'd try out his other series and I'm glad I did. This is a real page turner with lots of action. Next one please.

An awesome book. Definitely left me wanting more. Only a few chapters in I immediately went looking for more from this writer. Imagine my disappointment when this was the only one for now. Hope to see more of the twins soon.

I'm an old guy who has read hundreds and hundreds of SF-Fantasy books, so, this is fluff... but nice fluff.
Read the three books in a week. This is highly entertaining, fast paced with fun characters.
You can't help but chuckle as Mr Case puts everything but the kitchen sink in his series, but the fun vibe makes it ok.
As an older reader, this feels like a very restrained format -like a young adult series.
I hope that Mr Case eventually will tackle more serious topics in a more adult manner, but with the same gusto.
Congrats on the series and keep it up!
