Excalibur Saga Series

She has created a sci-fi theme that is intriguing, and the main characters – who are not afraid to speak their minds or express their feelings – narrate it. She writes very nicely and allows all her characters to participate in the drama, whether it is a big scene or a minor one. This strengthened the story, which has witty dialogue and adventure. Just when you get comfortable with the events unfolding, Sahara Foley pulls another creative twist without warnings or previous hints that divert The Secret of Excalibur onto a new route. – 5 star review by Michelle Stanley for Readers’ Favorite

It’s a wonderful page turner right from the beginning: when a cocky yet endearing Arthur Merlin exhibits his superpowers. She writes a very compelling narrative, tickling the fancy of adult readers – it almost feels like she brings back the magical air of childhood stories in The Secret of Excalibur. It’s an adventure readers will not want to miss out on. The characters in this book are well defined and the main protagonist is easy to empathize with. Extremely consistent with a clear theme, this book is certainly an enjoyable read! – 5 star Maria Beltran/Readers’ Favorite

Although I have not read the first novel in the series, I had no issues with reading this one. It was intense, filled with thrills and action, and I simply loved it. It literally took me a couple of hours to read because I did not want to put it down. I wanted to read on and see what happens next. The writing style is perfect for the theme. Sarah Foley made sure that the sci-fi elements of the novel did not become too ridiculous to be true. I could picture everything. An excellent, mind-boggling read. This is a bona fide 5 star novel! – Rabia Tanveer for Readers’ Favorite

“Karrin is unlike any other character I have encountered before; she is surreal and yet completely believable. I could easily picture her with a look of defiance in her eyes.” 5 star Readers’ Favorite review by Faridah Nassozi

“Part gritty urban survival tale, part far off planet fantasy drama, this unusual mixture of genres worked really well to create an enjoyable story. The central plot of the novel was resolved quite quickly in a fast-paced read, and author Sahara Foley did a great job in creating the initial terrifying situation that traumatized the poor orphaned Karrin.” 5 star Readers’ Favorite review by K.C. Finn,

“Sahara Foley has created a complicated world in her Excalibur Saga, a world that amplifies the flaws of our own world ten-fold, showing us a picture of what it could be. The characters in Karrin: Warrior Child are intricately drawn and induce strong feelings in the reader for themselves, be it the sentiment of deep sympathy or unrelenting hatred.” 4 star Readers’ Favorite review by Diksha Sundriyal

I like my science fiction to be less technically driven and more emotionally driven. Karrin is just such a character-driven story. Sahara Foley has written a tale of adventure, love, and survival that transcends the setting of science fiction. The author introduces some weird and wonderful creatures into her world but always underlying everything is the deep love and affection between the characters, despite their many physical and emotional differences. I think I was particularly drawn to this story as it used the notion of panspermia (seeding of life) as one of the basic precepts of the story. I love the idea that perhaps all life in the universe has originally come from some powerful, supreme race that has seeded the galaxies and created many diverse and fascinating life-forms – humanity included. I particularly loved the relationships developed and nurtured in this story, especially between former enemies and also between races seemingly so different yet still capable of feeling powerful and abiding love for each other. I haven’t read any of the earlier books in this series but that wasn’t necessary. The author was extremely adept at dropping gems of information into the narrative that explained what had gone before and why a character now reacted the way he/she did. This was a wonderful read and one I can highly recommend, not only to all science fiction fans but also to a wider audience. Ultimately it is a beautiful love story that happens to be set among the glories of the universe.

Karrin: Warrior Woman is the fourth book in the Excalibur Saga by Sahara Foley, an enthralling science fiction story with a protagonist that is well-sculpted and multidimensional. Karrin, an eighteen-year-old girl, is abandoned on an alien planet with a weird companion, Brownie, a two-tailed creature she has known during difficult times when she lost Lurga. When she discovers a spaceship, thanks to the help of Brownie, she learns that the contract on her life is still active. But what is worse, the merciless Calen has launched a fleet to kill her. In another world, Karrin is the only one who can save them from imminent destruction. Can she defend herself against an insidious enemy without her psychic powers?I love narratives that are transporting and I love it even more when an author makes me feel that worlds exist when they don’t and Sahara Foley is just so good at the game. First, she creates a compelling, multidimensional protagonist and thrusts her into a very harsh world, devoid of her powers. She has to use meager resources to survive and the reader follows her courage and mental state, watching out for what happens to her next. The plot is complex and it moves at a fast pace. The conflict is multifaceted and it helps fuel the tension that moves the story to a satisfying end. There is a lot to enjoy in this book: the great writing, the fascinating narrative voice, and the wonderful characters. An engaging story that kept me reading for hours.
