Tearing Down the Statues by Brian Bennudriti – An Apocalyptic Space Opera
A glorious city with copper-domed observatories and tall glass skyrise towers – now on fire. The Salt Mystic warned about this event thousands of years ago, and hid tripwires and guardians to prepare. Soon, the guardians will wake, just as wily generals and scheming counselors class, and tanks the size of cities move forward. Everything will burn by the millions, following the old echoes of the fascinating and cursed Talgo family. A guardian will rise in a generation when nations are ripping each other apart, and to see people who have no business at all in meddling things attempt to engineer them.

What Readers Are Saying
The battle scenes will blow your mind. Seriously; would look really amazing on Xbox – they shoot tornadoes at each other and ride little ships that climb up the walls of buildings. They also use a cool weapon called ‘Black Fire’ that eats into your hull, when not having gunfight duels with these shield-shaped things that shoot ball lightning. It’s just cool – you’re going to love it.” – Tim Swift, Amazon reviewer ★★★★★
Highly recommend this book. Interesting characters, tightly written battles and enough tension to keep anyone up late into the night. Highly anticipating the next book in the series.” – Brian Whittam, Amazon reviewer ★★★★★
I read extensively and I have to admit that this as many others have said is a unique and fun read. I loved the story line and the way Misling the Recorder and Ring the mysterious man interacted. Over all the characters were well developed and you cared about what would happen next to them. Hopefully we will have more from this author in the form of a sequel please.” – Victoria Roberts, Amazon reviewer ★★★★★
