A Must Read

If you like The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, you will love this book. Fabulous!

Another Passages book, another great read

Draven's Defiance. The story of a young man named Scott who found himself in the world you probably already know a little about, since you're looking up this book: Marus. Confused and bewildered, he joins company with Draven, an individual who bears the mark of one chosen by the Unseen One as His servant: eyes of two different colors. Scott eventually learns from Draven that, by the power of the Unseen One, judgment has been handed out on Marus in the form of time standing still. It is Perpetually Autumn, grass does not grow, people do not age. It is judgment against the apostate leader, Mobeck, and his wicked queen Skalaw. Scott finds himself headed, along with Draven, for a showdown with the corrupt leaders to vie for the hearts of the peoples of Marus. Will Scott join with Draven's Defiance?Another very enjoyable tale about the fictional world of Marus, weaved by Adventures in Odyssey's Paul McCusker. It tells the Biblical story of Elijah in a refreshing way, a new environment that makes the story come to life anew. There's a few new spins on this story (Draven escapes with Scott on a motorcycle, and the judgment handed out is different from the God's No-Rain judgment in the Bible. A famine, however is a consequence of time standing still)Another great read by the same great author, and I consider it worth the money. My only regret is that there are only six in this series.

Very Good Book

This is a great retelling of the story of elijah and Elisha. Icant wait to read the next one.
