Kirkus Reviews Weighs in on "War of the World Makers"

In a centuries-spanning tale of ambition, intrigue, and conflicting political worldviews, beings that exist outside the normal restraints of time fight to realize mankind's potential. Michaels writes in a dramatic prose style that successfully invigorates the novel's larger-than-life characters and situations. The diversity of settings (including Central Asian khanates, Enlightenment-era Europe, and a far-future Dubai) makes for fun and evocative reading, as do the winks at real-life history.

WAR OF THE WORLD MAKERS

In a millenium-long time war to alter the fate of the 20th century and save humanity from extinction in the 21st, World Makers Czarina Catherine II and the Princess von Anhalt team with violinist Niccolo Paganini in an attempt to defeat an implacable and ancient foe, the most brilliant mind to ever invent the future: Leonardo Da Vinci. But not the Da Vinci of common legend. This Da Vinci is immortal, the offspring of a dark magical being who fell to Asia from Orion ten thousand years ago, later inspired by the philosopher Nietzsche to combine his technological genius with ultimate magic power to create a new world order that will launch humanity to the stars and beyond.

WAR OF THE WORLD MAKERS is a unique, science-fantasy time war novel that features both horror and thriller elements.
