A Fallen Hero

Chronicles of Avilésor: War of the Realms

By: Sara A. Noë

Narrated by: A.J. Shuck, Mia Hutchinson-Shaw

Cato is the only true half-human, half-ghost hybrid in existence. He's powerful and unique with two divine powers instead of one.

The United States government believes he is the key to developing a devastating weapon that will give humankind an advantage when war inevitably erupts between the Human Realm and Avilésor, the Ghost Realm.

After being an unwilling test subject in Project Alpha for two years, Cato and the rest of his "lab-family" survive a transport accident to find themselves stranded and powerless in the middle of the wilderness. Hunted every step of the way by ghostly Shadow Guards with supernatural abilities and human Agents desperate to recapture their prisoners, the eight young fugitives are drawn to Cato's hometown, where the Rip between Realms connects the worlds.

Cato wants nothing to do with his past, but as his enemies close in, he realizes he's willing to do anything to protect his lab-family...

Even kidnap the daughter of a ghost hunter and make a dangerous deal to become a mercenary.

Surprisingly Great

I almost stopped reading a few chapters in. I found the description of every little detail distracting, and disrupting the flow of the story. That being said, I am truly glad I did not stop. The over descriptive issue seemed to be gone a couple of chapters in. I'm still mostly a fantasy (sorcery and swords type) genre guy so I didn't expect much from this sort of a story for myself. This story is something that I have never come across before. I can see after just one book that there are so many places that the author could take this and I really found myself irritated that there was not a second audiobook ready. The story was very well done, and the characters are very well fleshed out. One thing that I really enjoyed was the creation of a believable world in which I never felt lost. The world was explained, the characters were explained, and the problems people were dealing with were explained. this author definitely puts thought into what she's doing and gives it depth.

I actually met this author at a local festival, and bought the audiobook on the spot as you always want to support local people. I am very glad this story turned out to be so excellent and Hope she experiences nothing but success from this. If you actually read this, get going on that second audiobook will you please
