Über diesen Titel
A prequel to the lauded Coldfire trilogy, Friedman's latest novel mixes the best of dark fantasy and chilling sci-fi.
A ship full of colonists arrive on a seemingly hospitable planet, only to discover that it harbors a terrifying secret. Soon the settlers find themselves caught up in a desperate battle for survival against the fae, a natural force with the power to prey upon the human mind itself, bringing a person’s greatest fears and darkest nightmares to life.
As Colony Commander Leon Case and Chief Medic Lise Perez struggle to find a way to control the fae before more people die, other settlers have ideas of their own…and they may prove more of a threat to colony than the fae itself.
Nightborn: Coldfire Rising is a tale that blends sci-fi, fantasy, and horror, suspenseful and emotionally intense, as a handful of humans struggle to survive on an alien world that seems determined to kill them. In the end they will have to draw upon both scientific knowledge and mystical traditions to save themselves.
Whether you're just discovering the Coldfire universe through this prequel or returning to it as a classic favorite, Nightborn: Coldfire Rising is the perfect entry point to this unique, genre-blending space fantasy epic.

Dark Fantasy meets SF
A colony ship. Colonists awakening from cold sleep to find out that they traveled longer and further than planned to reach a viable planet. They encounter a mysterious life form on that planet, seemingly intent on killing them one by one. Technology is failing and a very different future than imagined seems to be the fate of the colony. They name that life form „the fey“ and dark fantasy meets science fiction.
Odd, but as a prequel to a fantasy series it’s a plausible start. The idea reminded my a little of the Dragonriders of Pern, although that is a very different story. The core of both worlds are colonists on a dangerous planet who eventually devolve into a much simpler society without technology or the knowledge of where they came from.
A recurring question in colonization SF: How likely is convergent evolution on other planets compared to Earth?
The Observer effect: How perception impacts our concept of reality.
That idea lies at the center of this novel. It was ok, I liked the plot well enough. The characters were fleshed out enough to be somewhat memorable. Not sure yet if I am interested enough to proceed to the main trilogy, considering that it seems to be classic fantasy.
Included at the end of my Audible edition: Dominion, a 52-page novella set 600 years after the events of Nightborn: Coldfire Rising. I would class it as Sword and Sorcery.
