Overview

This sci-fi epic takes place somewhere in the outer cosmos, beyond reckoning or observation. The mysterious Dr. Z has enlisted three space heroes to search the galaxy for the fabled Twelve Gems of Power: the hulking alien-brawn Furz; the beautiful and deadly sabre-wielding Venus; and the soft-spoken canine technician, Dogstar. They meet many strange and storied characters on their journey, but none so strange or sinister as their dear benefactor himself. With a heavy dose of humor and wall-to-wall action, this is one of the most action-packed and funny books of the year.

Reviews

Lane Milburn''s Twelve Gems is a fine addition to [the non-traditional fantasy] micro-genre... The book manages to walk the tightrope between refusing to take itself too seriously and succumbing to simple parody the copiously cross-hatched, endearingly sloppy but never less than captivating pages reflect a clear labor of love on Milburn''s part. It s funny and absurd and never dull. Each page harbors a plethora of fantastic details over which the reader will linger long after the story is finished.... The book carries off a heady mixture of sci-fi space opera and cosmic fantasy with aplomb. --Tim O'Neil
