Philo-scifi is a term I have coined for media that is fantastical in nature, yet
still is social commentary. Prevalent during the 60's, Bizzell's The Gryphon Generation is a sign that this niche genre has returned, and I
couldn't be happier.Johnathan and Thyra's relationship and the bigotry they face together has immediate parallels to civil and LGBTQ+ rights; yet it does all this through an entertaining world where gryphons have been made real. This thought provoking novel is a must for
anyone looking to have a more thought provoking fantasy tale.

K. Sturken

“I have a difficult time finding books that really keep my attention, its been a problem since I was young. This book however, I simply couldn't put down! The characters were charming, and getting to see such diversity on griffins was great! I cant wait to read the second book!“

Jesse Douglas

“I laughed and cried while reading this book. It truly hits hone on my emotions. I think more people should read this book. I really didn't want the book to end at all.”

Lairex

“Judging by the description I was expecting a 2 star dumpster fire. I figured since it has gryphons that aren't mindless monsters or the villains, though they can make great villains, it might turn into a 3. Surprise its a 4, gonna buy the paperback.”

John Ingle

“The characters are extremely rememberable and for lack of a better word more human and unique than any other series I’ve read so far. The way they’re built is delightfully natural. This is the third entry into the series and main characters are still opening up about themselves and their origins.”

Onyx

“I found myself with my heart racing with anxiety and excitement, shouting in anger, in a moral dilemma, and in tears of sadness - all of which are extremely rare for me to get in any form of media, let alone a book!“

Thomas Morgan

“A good book for fans of fantasy, gryphons, or what if this was the norm for the world, situations. A slight change in reality. Filled with an array of characters you just want to know more about and will grow to love. A gripping story that grabs you in it's talons and won't let go until the last sentence. Each chapter ending makes you want to read on and is hard to put down.”

Landon Zimmerman

Whereas the first novel mostly served to set up the world — almost at the point of eschewing an intricate plot — A New Era ratchets up the tension as Thera juggles competing aspects of her life. Thyra wrestles with training with her gryphball team, all the while dealing with memories of her past and the ever-presence of The Gathering, all leading to a heated climax.
Unfortunately there are a fair few typos and grammatical errors. However, they do not detract much from the experience on the whole. Overall, I would say A New Era is engaging and a fun read. I am definitely going to continue reading the series.

I actually backed this on Kickstarter since I had read the previous 3 books and enjoyed them. And what can I say but "Wow"? The book was fantastic, and I enjoyed reading it a lot. It's funny, I'd be like "ok, time to read a couple chapters tonight," but I'd put it off cause I knew I'd get TOO invested. I actually ended up reading the last *15* chapters in one sitting because I wanted to know how everything shook out! I was basically sitting there holding my breath through the last few chapters because I was so anxious!
I won't give specific examples to limit spoilers, but I felt such a wide range of emotions during this journey. Happiness, disgust, humor, pain, anger and frustration... I honestly teared up a bit near the end, even. And then the confrontations at the climax were quite tense!
It's been so much fun watching Alex's writing style evolve and improve over these 4 books! My only little nitpick of a critique is that there's a handful of silly typos but not enough to be a big issue. I can't wait to see where he goes from here, and I'm looking forward to the eventual Book 5.

A whole new world awaits

The modern world as we know it has been transformed with the arrival of sentient Gryphons. These man-made beings now live among us and take part in society, but not without repercussions from closed minded humans. Some people argue that these beasts should not have the same rights as them and are appalled by their creation. Others believe the Gryphons should live their lives just as humans do, without red tape and hurdles to jump through.

Introduction

We follow the story of Johnathen, a human, and Thyra, a gryphoness, who live as a married couple in the Deep South. Until recently, the thought of an interspecies couple outraged many people, but it has gradually been accepted in mainstream society. The overly righteous groups, however, have fought every step of the way to keep such marriages illegal, and to convince others that these couples are an abomination.

The phenomenon that is Gryphball

Gryphball has changed the world of sports forever. Football, basketball, baseball, and soccer have been tossed to the wayside as gryphons now dominate every sports channel in existence. Stadiums seemed to erect over night as the phenomenon caught like wildfire. Workplaces are filled with chatter about last nights game, the sports bars display merch of their home gryphball team proudly, and all eyes are on the field. Gryphons have become mainstream media and in time, became stars.

Changes in society

The modern world is expensive and vast with many changes made to cater to gryphons. Some cities invented drastic improvements in order to better cater to gryphon kind, while other towns have done the opposite. The new species are more or less accepted in most of the world but some still shun their existence. With a new breed of sentient creatures comes innovation for industry. Both major corporations and fresh start up companies have jumped at the opportunity to create new fashion lines, furniture, personal smart phones and electronics for this upcoming population.

Trials and tribulation

Religious zealots rebuke the gryphons as the devils creations and attempt to turn the general population against them. Ghosts from the past come back to haunt our protagonists, further testing their strength in one another. We see the band put through more strife and chaos than they deserve, but there is always a warm thermal to glide on after a blizzard. With twists and turns around every corner, it will take a strong bond between one another to see themselves through.
