McClellan, Brian
Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.
(1986- ) US author who began publishing work of genre interest with "Duck Hunt" in Leading Edge for April 2007, and who has focused almost exclusively on broad-gauge fantasy, primarily the Powder Mage sequence beginning with Promise of Blood (2013) [full-length titles only are given in Checklist]. He is of sf interest for War Cry (2018 chap), part Military SF and part, Equipoisally, military fantasy. The Shapeshifter protagonist, stationed in a remote outpost near an enemy airbase, undertakes a savage mission, which exposes him to a wider, even more cynical world. The tale ends abruptly. [JC]
