The Planet of Darkness
DESCRIPTION:
The Dark Tyrant controls every aspect of the Planet of Darkness and forbids his subjects from even thinking about his rival world, the Planet of Light. However, rebellion is stirring and one propaganda specialist begins probing for answers and ultimately must determine if the truth is worth the sacrifice of position, security, wealth, and perhaps even his family. This science fiction dystopian novel explores the themes of the struggle for power, the individual versus societal conformity, resilience in the face of mental and physical struggles, and the ability to question authoritarian control.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS:
“In this book you’ll meet many varying characters. The story follows several of their journeys. They all have different lifestyles and personalities, and they’re very engaging. There is always something to keep the reader’s attention, either adventure, intrigue or emotion. The way the author describes the settings and the strange objects and creatures makes it feel just as though I’m really there. For me to say that is a big deal because I don’t picture things when reading very often. I highly recommend this book.” ~J. Burris
“Reading Planet of Darkness: Book 1: The City of the Dark Tyrant is an epic experience. There are elements of classic science fiction here, and an undercurrent nod to a concept popularized by the 1960s television series, The Prisoner. All of it swirls in a sea of surrealism that puts the reader into a mindset that they are reading the science fiction equivalent of a Salvador Dali painting. It’s curious, intriguing, deep, thought-provoking, intellectually challenging, and beautiful all at the same time. The scope of lore that is the foundation for this promising series is vast, yet it remains under complete control by Darnell’s masterful writing. Layers of meaning lurk beneath the surface of action-packed chapters that fly by. It’s a book you will think about in between chapters when you have to put it down, and it’s a story you won’t forget when the last page is turned.” ~Author, Tilmer Wright
