Book Description

April 9, 2003
In the future, an unexplained plague eradicates nearly all the Earth’s population and leaves the living to wonder why. One of those individuals, Nick Cambridge, is quickly and uncontrollably swept up in a journey that not only leads to its cause but also forces him to find the solution--eventually unlocking the mystery of all creation and his own existence. Through Nick’s journey, he meets similar "outcasts" that, too, find themselves a part of the enigmatic experience that calls upon them all to be heroes and save what is left of life as they know it.

The fantasy-adventure novel The Blood of Heroes is a quality fit for anyone who enjoys getting lost in a book and identifying with its characters. The futuristic setting allows for new planets and races for a fantastical--but believable--plot. Despite the unnatural events that unfold, the reader is allowed to grow with the maturing, rational Nick as he toils with the thought of a predetermined destiny and questions the unexplained and evil he encounters. The Blood of Heroes not only encompasses fate, love, and friendship, but the tale also includes a riddle embedded in the storyline--which does not have a typical ending.


Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Writing this novel has been my passion and heartfelt dedication since I learned I would probably never be able to live an actual adventure; so, I did the next best thing--I wrote one.

The Blood of Heroes was originally just something I worked on in my spare time. But I had so much fun writing and creating it that I wanted to share it. I hope everyone who gets a chance to read this book feels the same emotional and thrilling sensations that I did in making it.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Rocks!, October 20, 2003

This review is from: The Blood of Heroes (Paperback)
I thought the book was like new beginning for sci-fi drama. The characters really stood out and became realistic. The author did a fine job of developing a new fashion to the reading style, along with the constant turn of events. You will be taken by surprise with this book. I am anxious to see what the author has in store for us next! He is also from Wisconsin, so all you cheeseheads, this is a given to read. :o)
