Editorial Review:The Legend of the Firefish is a timeless tale of the pursuit of faith and honor.
Packer Throme longs to bring prosperity back to his decaying fishing village by discovering the trade secrets of a notorious pirate who hunts the legendary Firefish and sells the rare meat. Armed with the love of the priest’s daughter and a noble purpose, Packer stows away on the ship Trophy Chase bound for sea. But many tests of his faith and his resolve follow.
Will belief and vision be enough for the young man to survive?
Captivating action, dialogue, and insights into the heroic struggle of faith make this an ideal read for fans of adventure, fantasy, and well–told tales of honor.

Rating:  - Good Sory, But All Have Flaws
The Legend of the Firefish was a great book. When I pick up Christian fiction, I expect it to be a good story--just as this one was.
The plot was good, and most of the characters were interesting (such as Talon and Scat), but I found a few things annoying with the story.
The novel took me forever to get through, simply because it didn't hold my interest. I think the whole time frame that the characters went through was only about two weeks, meaning that the author had to trudge ... Read More
Rating:  - Best read in missionary position
Apparently, most of the reviews of "Firefish" were written by Christian fantasy fans... "Yes! Finally a thoughtful book with the Saviour's message woven throughout!" I'm new this genre, but open to any good fantasy story. Unfortunately, for this book, the sum of the parts is less than the parts themselves.
To be sure, the characters are vivid and the writing compelling, but I started to wince after a while when Polivka drifted into dreamy Christian musings. I suppose if you think in these ... Read More

Sword fighting, carnivorous fish and angry pirates all ... Read More
