The path to salvation goes through the cursed forest of Aokigahara and the ghosts of Ren’s past.

The Forsaken Planet is an epic sci-fantasy adventure in the vein of Star Wars and Ender's Game., playing on the tropes we all loved growing up and breathing new life into them. Wilson's debut reads like a movie that hasn't hit the big screen... yet. Definite rec.

I'm sharing an amazing V&V review from Reddit that starts off, "Peak Epic Fantasy. Think Brandon Sanderson quality, rated R."
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That is a damn tagline ❤️

"David T. List has graced us with a top-tier work of grimdark fantasy. I have no doubt that this–-my first read of 2026–-will be one of my favourites of the year."
Go read Usman's review! It might be better than the book itself.
