 Amazon.ca: Blackgod: Books: J. Gregory Keyes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Gregory Keyes continues the adventures of Princess Hehzi of Nhol and her unwilling champion, Perkar of the Cattle People, as they struggle to survive the machinations of both the insatiable River God and his brother, the trickster Blackgod, Karak.
Keyes portrayal of ancient polytheistic and animist cultures, as well as the tension between cattle raising versus farming cultures, are well portrayed throughout.
Keyes' depiction of both the ancient urban setting and ancient cattle based societies were refreshing, and there was never a question that this tale was set in another time and place.

 J. Gregory Keyes:  Newton's Cannon
The year 1998 certainly looks like it will be the "Year of the Comet." Although lacking such brilliant visitors as Hyakutake or Hale-Bopp, this year has seen an influx of novels and films about cometary collisions, from "Deep Impact" and "Armageddon" to Michael Flynn's Rogue Star and Jack McDevitt's Moonfall.
Benjamin Franklin, who even discusses his out-of-sight/out-of-mind problem with relationships, also does not come across as the fourteen year old Keyes says he is. Increasing Franklin's age by even as few as three or four years would have made him more believable, not merely in his accomplishments, but in his attitudes and actions.
Keyes does some interesting things with the structure of the novel.

 Alan P. Scott - Review: J. Gregory Keyes, Dark Genesis: The Birth of the Psi Corps
So when an editor friend of mine handed me an advance reader's copy of J. Gregory Keyes' B5 novel Dark Genesis: The Birth of the Psi Corps, and I saw the cover with that big TV-show logo on it, my smile stiffened a little and I took it mainly to be polite.
I wish I could say that the persecution of telepaths Keyes outlines as a result of this is unrealistic, but I cannot.
Keyes has a multitude of real-world examples from which to choose, after all.

The universe lies on the verge of destruction as demons and angels use mortal wizards and scientists as their agents in a war that pits the forces of a devastated Europe against a handful of American colonists struggling for freedom and survival.
Unfortunately for me, not only was J. Gregory Keyes a long time in issuing this last volume in the 'Age of Unreason Series,' marketing for it was so poor that it was a year before I actually found it, and even longer until I finally started to read it.
Keyes seems to have lost track of his characters, giving them outlandish abilities which work in no logical sense.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on J. Gregory Keyes - Edge of Victory: Rebirth at Epinions.com
Keyes manages to create situations and characters that entice the reader to keep moving, to plow through his books as if there were nothing else in the world you could possibly conceive of doing.
Keyes mainly avoids this by having the assault on the Vong world ship not take up too much room in the narrative.
Keyes could have made an entire book (or at least half of one) about Luke and Mara running from the New Republic government, which has just put an order out for their arrest, having the situation worsen in stages as Mara gets sicker, and then go on from there.

 the pathetic caverns - books by author - J. Gregory Keyes
And while I don't want to suggest that J. Gregory Keyes is overly derivative of Powers, I'm delighted to finally find a writer who, for me, pushes many of the same buttons.
Keyes also offers a taut, suspenseful plot, with some surprising twists and a delightful refusal to pull punches.
Perhaps Keyes' most memorable character is fictional: Adrienne de Mornay de Montchevreuil is a brilliant young woman in the court of Louis Quatorze with a passionate interest in science, and a member of a secret society, who is unwillingly thrust into an tangle of internicine political turmoil.

 A Calculus of Angels: The Age of Unreason Book II -- book review
The alternate history that Keyes has built is fascinating stuff, much richer than the “what if World War II turned out differently” that many authors use.
Keyes still does this occasionally, but it’s not quite as noticeable this time.
Keyes has taken an interesting premise and spun half of a very interesting tale.

The Charnel Prince: Continuing the Saga of the Kindgoms of Thorn and Bone von J. Gregory Keyes
Keyes entertains both with details of everyday life and with the conversations of people who may not have met but should have.
Still, with the unfolding of secrets and past deeds, Keyes brings a welcome level of character uncertainty to the deterministic Newtonian novel.

There has never been an epic quite like that created by J. Gregory Keyes in the first two books of his Age of Unreason saga.
With a stunningly original blend of alternate history, fantasy, and science fiction, Keyes has vividly reimagined the eighteenth century and brought it brilliantly to life.

Keyes (A Calculus of Angels) guides readers through this world via three separate stories of alchemy and intrigue.
I consider myself a big fan of J. Gregory Keyes, so it probably comes as no surprise that I found this book, like its predecessors, to be delightful.
Keyes' style is round-robin, and he rotates between characters, chapter by chapter, throughout the book.

 Review -- Newton's Cannon by Gregory Keyes
by Gregory Keyes is a fascinating new book with alternate history elements, although it is being marketed primarily as fantasy.
Keyes takes that premise seriously and in developing it, demonstrates that such a discovery would have produced a world not even remotely resembling our own.
In Keyes' alternate world, Newton discovers a substance called the "philosopher's mercury" and stands the world on its head.

 Burning Void Reviews: "The Waterborn," J. Gregory Keyes
These aren't modern-day cultures with a few details changed; these are intricate and unusual societies that have enough similarities to old cultures of our own world that we can relate to them and, for the most part, understand them.
Most of the characters are fascinating and fun to explore, from headstrong Hezhi to her half-giant bodyguard Tsem.
I'm not sure whether these little inconsistencies indicate that Keyes just didn't think his details through well enough, or that he simply left out some details that would have made things clearer to us.

 Amazon.fr : Newton's Cannon: Livres en anglais: J. Gregory Keyes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Keyes, like McIntyre, blends alchemy, history, and fantasy in his novel.
Keyes's characters are expertly drawn: Louis XIV, the aging King of France who seeks a return to international preeminence, young Ben Franklin of Boston, a printer's apprentice who yearns to master alchemy, and Adrienne de Montchevreuil, a lovely, impoverished noblewoman who secretly pursues mathematics, but attracts Louis's lustful attention.
Clearly enamored with the glories of Versailles, Keyes writes passages of swordplay and foreplay that fitfully flare into life, but the novel is ultimately foiled by muddy secondary characterizations and a finale that fizzles.

 The Shadows of God and The Empire of Unreason by J. Gregory Keyes
This pair of books finishes Keyes' Age of Unreason series (the first two books are Newton's Cannon and A Calculus of Angels).
In Keyes' universe, Sir Isaac Newton experiments in alchemy - a fruitless waste of his old age in our world - yields control of alchemical techniques which create an entire technology different (and more powerful than) our own.
This is quite a good series and I'm especially impressed by how well Keyes kept under control the complex pseudo-technology and believability of the alchemical creatures -- he did a good job of keeping his Mysteries mysterious while also explaining them.

 J. Gregory Keyes:  Empire of Unreason
Franklin and Adrienne continue to pursue their studies and battle the forces of evil and Keyes has finally begun to explain the motivations for the increasing appearance of the malikim, the angels who are supporting and possibly initiating the hardships and wars which are plaguing the world.
Characters who Keyes seems to have dismissed in earlier volumes make re-appearances in new roles, proving to be the lynchpin of the situation.
Empire of Unreason is still an enjoyable and thought provoking work and further indicates that J. Gregory Keyes is an author to keep an eye on as his career progresses.
