The author has created a compelling world in which to tell this tale of the timeless battle between good and evil. Well-developed characters and action-driven plot make this a great read for fans of sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and adventure books.

Writers who take the road less traveled are the writers we all talk about. Mark's one of those writers. He really pushes the reader's ability to handle darkness. His writing also suggests some interesting views on society's struggle between spending time on one's personal goals versus spending time building relationships. Many can relate to Tolen's struggles.

It's also a fun read. The battle scenes have just the right amount of description. Some books don't paint a picture. Some books repeat too many details, boring the reader. "From a Stronger Steel" is neither of these. One of my favorite lines in the book is when he describes the howl of a sword, calling the sword "just as much an instrument of music as of murder."

Pick it up if you're looking for a dark fantasy. If you prefer something fluffy, you've come to the wrong place.

This is a great book for those who read horror sci fi books. Good characters, action and story. This is not a book for those who like to read about kittens and puppy dogs.

If you are a fan of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror this is a great book to read. The author does a fantastic job of creating the story and putting just enough detail into descriptions so the reader feels as though they are observing the action first hand. The story also has a unique way of combating good against evil. The internal struggle going on within the main character, in which he tries to determine what exactly is good and what is evil, fuels the reader on.

The book has a darker side to it, so if this is the style you're looking for definitely check it out.

This is an immature attempt at writing a book. It is full of violence, hate, recurring page after page. I am not sure who it is written for, perhaps dungeon and dragon youths, however the violence and senseless deaths of children against children doesn't make sense even for that crowd. There are many grammatical mistakes as well as logical ones trying to make a story. Constant killing sequence repetition that makes one want to quit reading.
The character Tolen, a devil child, is the main character, confused as what life is, and focused only on killing. There may be hope for the author who I think has
the capability of writing, he only however needs a good story. This one is totally trash and not fit for reading unless you love to kill and are a member of a sick dark occult. But you have to be immature.
If it ever gets paper published it will be a sad day. However, I may be wrong because I am not an expert or fan of dark occult.
