The minute you begin this book, the author is going to pull you into his world and keep you page-turning with unique and engaging characters, and drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

This story drops you in the desert with soldiers guarding a precious artifact. The drama is immediately going to ramp up when a mysterious figure makes an appearance.

Seekers has the right amount of detail to paint vivid pictures of the various scenes in your mind. You're going to love the twists and turns throughout this story. The illustration sketches at the end of each chapter help add another element to the story as well. It's the author's way of helping readers create a better mental image of the various characters.

There is so much packed into this book and I enjoyed every second of it. I'm really hoping, based on the ending, that there will be more to come in the future for these characters. The ending has an open-ended sound as though there will be more to come, and I'm really hoping that there will be.
