Global Dawning:

It’s a great story. I think it’s rich and original. The characters are very special. I was really ‘sucked’ into it. Although I’m not a regular reader (and specially not in English) I read it with pleasure despite the serious tone. The way the writer made the two worlds intertwine was really good. The subject is very actual and the combination with AI (Maluk) even more. Howard is a really good writer and I hope he will write more soon.

Excellent read. Very original and entertaining. Howard knows the climate facts and he has put them masterfully in the story. So not only a great read, but also educational. I would love to have the bear Maluk!

An exciting read about climate events and big business with a little sub-plot of young love. I think the book is good enough to be made into a film, inspiring teenagers & giving them confidence to challenge the way we live today. There’s a wide range of interesting characters and fascinating techy bits interwoven into an exciting story that builds to a thrilling climax. Climate facts and figures show research but they don’t clog up the story. It’s modern, exciting, imaginative, the right length – overall a great story.

A lot of it, most of it, is gripping and exciting. I often wanted to read on, to find out what happens. It’s great. Even so, I think too many women take centre stage and the linkage between the two worlds could be stronger.

I found it interesting, very well researched and engaging. It addresses the global warming crisis in a forthright manner including the actions taken that ignore the problem for personal benefit. Making teens aware of both of these issues is incredibly important and anything that will increase their knowledge and understanding of the imminent crisis is critical. They are the ones that will suffer the most if nothing is done. We need to do everything possible to get this message across to them. I hope the book will appeal to them as a fun and interesting story, but one with a message that will inspire them to do whatever they can to “make a difference”. Hopefully the book will result in their promoting and educating their friends (and parents?} that action is required now…. it’s now or never….

The plot quickly evolves and grips your attention from the start. It’s well written and engaging. Some of the names in Lufianblid take getting used to, but we have two more books to look forward to and that will give me time to learn them better.
I loved Maluk and although his super powers seem a bit exaggerated it is very fun to imagine a world where it’s already possible. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, and particularly the youth of today. They are the adults of the future and however unfair, they will have to deal with climate change all their lives. Thank you.
