Outward Bound (Gateway Book 1)

5 reasons to go Outward Bound

---

I've even testified as a forensic engineering expert before the supreme court of the State of New York. After reading the battle scenes in my books, some of my readers have asked me whether I also used to be a spy or a Special Forces operative.

I can't comment on that, I tell them. My non-fiction work has been read around the world. I write some of that every day, and I still enjoy it. But all my life, for fun, I've written fantasy stories.

Outward Bound

I started writing them before I did any of the things I mentioned above, and I'll probably keep writing them for as long as I'm around. A few years ago, I decided to make a business out of it and get them published so others can read them too. I hope that you'll give my books a read.

Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. This will appeal to readers young and old alike. On one level, standards of fantasy: On the other, engaging and believable characters, court intrigue and an unforgiving, violent world. Asks, little, gives a lot and kept me engaged till the end.

You won't be disappointed. I very rarely read the same book twice in the same year but this one has so much going on it's easy to accidentally skip something. It may even get read a third time, I thought it that good. Liked this book a lot. Even though it's more of a re-telling, the author did a good job of setting scenes in terms of darkness, confusion, glory, and vindication.

Characters could have been a little more strongly differentiated, as two of the heroes were very similar in disposition.

That might be borderline though, as they were both near-immortals. I'll read further from this author in the future. This story grabbed my attention and wouldn't let go. I liked the way that Theta the quiet hero held every thing together. My favorite stories are of knight's doing what they do. With the descriptions of the fighting in all it's gory details. Thanks for your work. I am looking forward to the next book. Volume One of the Harbinger of Doom Series by the author, who is an eminent scholar, scientist, engineering consultant, lecturer and also a forensic investigator.

A very good hand on books related to sorcery, black magic, witchcraft, demonology etc which used to trouble kingdoms of ancient world. The House of Eotrus ruling the northern province of the Lomion kingdom is attacked by scary demons from the world of the dead, the Nifleheim. A patrol led by the king of Eotrus, Lord Aradron Eotrus, along with his brave Knights and House wizard, are brutally killed and their bodies mutilated, by these demons which took the forms of strange animals with different ugly shapes and exoskeletons.

These fiends, backed by the demon Gods of Nifleheim, plan to enter the human world through a mysterious hole in the Vermion forest near Eotrus province and kill all the mankind to take over the mortal world. The son of Lord Aradron, named Claradon, along with the valiant Knights, Sir Gabriel and Lord Angle Theta a foreigner who came to the rescue of the Eotrus , lead a second patrol to find out what happened to the first one. They, in the midst of Vermion forest come across a mysterious hole and an ancient temple, which is used as a gateway, by the demons of Nifleheim, to cast a spell on the humans and kill them brutally to capture their soles and convert them into their slaves.

Sir Gabriel and Angle Theta fight bravely with all their skills against these ugly, nauseating, scary creatures and prevent them from entering the mortal world, in the nick of moment. His soul captured by the demon God. Though the patrol of Claradon was successful in driving the demons back to Nifleheim, they vow to avenge the brutal murder of Gabriel and also bring his soul back to human world, from the demonic clutches of Nifleheim. A hair raising narration of one of the scariest stories of demons, the dead and the ugly creatures that invade the human and mortal world to capture their souls, through mystical powers and sorcery.

Very interesting turn of events and near real life characters highlighted with deadly imagination and creativity. Will form a great video game for the kids if taken on the lighter side.

Editorial Reviews

One of the memorable epic fantasy stories. Triggers interest in going for the rest of the books in the series. The question of whether the mortal world can really face the powers of the dead from the other world is still unanswered. The characters like Angle Theta and Sir Gabriel are depicted as mortal heroes without magical powers but said to be just carrying some daggers and swords powered by some ancient witchcraft. Did not appear practical, when it comes to facing the mighty demons of Nifleheim, which were both physically and spiritually described to be much more superior.

My rating is 2. One person found this helpful.

I have now bought and finished all 10 books, I never left feed back before this, I feel that I have to mention to people before they buy any of these books. Great reads all of them I have an addictive personalty and cant just stop when starting a story. All ten of these books could have fit into 3 normal size books with little problem.

I feel the page count is a rip off. Because of my addictive affliction I will buy the next one. I don't think there is a plan to actually finish the story, many dead ends,This book leaves you no further in the story than the last book left off, I'm hoping that the next book will be full of conclusions that should have been in this one really just a few miles down the road I would say 5 miles at best from last book, You would know what I am getting at if you read them all short stories.

Although this is offered for free here on Amazon anyway, the author requested that I read it and give an honest review. So, it's not very often that I receive review requests for books that truly merit 5 stars, but I think this one qualifies for sure. The writing style is completely engaging, and does a great job of developing the characters while maintaining an unrelenting pace.

I really had a hard time putting this book or rather my Kindle Fire down once I started reading this. The characters all have aspects that you can identify with, and the story of impending doom, while not unique at all, is really well done. This isnt an easy breezy world the characters live in. Death is literally around the corner I dont want to give away any of the story for you, and the product description does the story justice anyway. Just know that if you are looking for a rough and tumble ride through a fantastic world in epic fashion, this is a book you will want to read.
