Just beginning The Mountain of Mars, book 8 of Glynn Stewart’s Starship’s Mage series.
Without spoilers what's the "mage" part of the story?
Interesting question. Have to admit I’m not sure exactly how to answer! At eight books in there’s a lot of story to summarise… :) It’s a “mages in space” universe. Lots of space combat, which mages have a hand in. Mages are part of a ruling class, and there are “mage” vs “mundane” political tensions… It’s not a prophecy fulfilment kind of story, though our main character does start off as a bit of an underdog. I’ll stop there. More?
