Short description

On the savage planet of Hadanum, the changed remnants of humanity struggle to survive. They are surrounded by massive megas, organisms that cover the land and sea.

Extended description

On the savage planet of Hadanum, the last reengineered remnants of humanity struggle for survival.

Thallsen, home to the Jana, is surrounded by massive megas, organisms that cover the land and sea, hosts to smaller, but no less terrible creatures.

The Jana have relied on ancient machines from Dead Earth to protect themselves for generations, but their dependence is about to be tested.

In search of his father, Watchware Balon has instead found something that will send the Jana hurtling into a conflict for which they are not prepared. On a journey that takes him far from the security of home, he will discover that his people can and must find the strength within themselves to throw off the shackles of their past, or be wiped out forever.

Review by: DM Yates on Oct. 27, 2012 :
I was very impressed by the details Robinson Mason used to describe the lives and the areas of this planet. His story was certainly action/adventure and I found it hard to set the book down. I never knew what was going to happen from page to page, and I was never once disappointed in the read. I love sci fi and this was an exceptional read. I can't wait to read all of the Hadanum series.

Review by: Matt Bower on Oct. 22, 2012 :
Globe-Hurler is a journey of end-to-end tension. I have never read a fantasy/science-fiction novel before but decided to start here due to the glowing reviews. I made the right call. Mr. Mason snares the reader from page one, where the hero is already in peril. The action moves quickly while the relationships between the well-crafted characters bloom. I admire an author who can construct a world unlike any I have imagined before, yet the world itself still feels natural once I am immersed in it. I also admire Mr. Mason’s ability to create a prevailing sense of dread, akin to the novel 1984 or of the sort. I have no apprehension recommending this book.

Review by: Wendy Stackhouse on Sep. 24, 2012 :
Hadanum is a complicated but well-built world, filled with malevolent animal and plant life. The most dangerous of all, humankind itself, is locked in the age old struggle of power corrupts. I have followed Balon as he fought off monsters, machines and superstition, whilst his world and love affair crumble around him - and will continue to do so in the rest of the Hadanum Saga. Beware - this is a world that once entered is hard to leave!

Read this book under the protection of a mosquito net. I live in a Mexico jungle with creatures you wouldn’t pick up with asbestos gloves, but Globe-Hurler’s author, Robinson Mason, gives scary creatures a whole new meaning!
This is a science fiction ride you will not forget, but what I found incredible was how he wove a human story through the tapestry of this exciting book.
There is the young man who discovers unimaginable threat to human distinction, the girl he loves, who is caught in conflicting loyalty and his best friend who makes the greatest sacrifice of a friendship.
Globe-Hurler will give you pause about the out of control power of government, the numbing effect on its people and the demise of mankind.
Keep your eye on this guy, Robinson Mason. Read Globe-Hurler.

Review by: Gavin Gregory on July 27, 2011 :
The author delivered a rich tale full of alien descriptions, and great ideas. The first 10 pages were building blocks before it really takes off like a rocket after that.The introductions of many strange creatures made my skin crawl. The story hooked me for more!
