This is not only a book for aficionados of the journey and search genre of literature e.g. Lord of the Rings, but will also appeal to those who enjoy a cracking adventure story. It is very interesting to read how a disparate ethnic and genetic mix of people meld together into a team to search for Staria. I don’t wish to give anymore away and recommend that you read it for yourself to see what I mean.
