The Astronomer Who Didn’t Like Magic

A wayward but rational-minded scientist faces mental and physical challenges when he finds himself on a planet dominated by magic, a world where many of Earth’s ancient civilizations are preserved for some mysterious purpose. The first of a series set in the Endurian Universe, The Astronomer Who Didn’t Like Magic is the story of Leonard Ronar, an astronomer whose notions of reality are threatened on the distant planet Colibdis, where magic reigns, and gods and sorcerers contest the fate of the universe. This is fantasy with a gloss of astronomy and quantum physics. Elements of horror may disqualify it for younger readers. This novel introduces one of the worlds prominent in the tale of the Endurian Universe. Later volumes in the series present the others. Eventually it all ties together to form a large and complex whole.
