Strafe Rocknus has suffered hard losses in his life, but now things are looking up for the college graduate.
He has a sizzling girlfriend, good friends and a bright career ahead of him. But one day, Strafe awakes in a mysterious cavern, discovers an ancient artifact, and unwittingly ignites a war that spans two worlds: his own, and one he never knew existed.
With the abyss of the unknown before him, Strafe enters the swirling darkness. Desperate, he must navigate a new and hostile world on the brink of catastrophe, and learn the truth of who he is, while facing a darkness with the power to destroy everything Strafe has ever cared about.
Soon, he will discover that his greatest strength comes from those he fights for.

The Venerate Order is Best Served with a
Harvey Wallbanger
Okay… this is a bit of a joke as the characters in the novel are initially building a catapult and this entire story begins with the protagonist, Strafe, getting the bright idea that he should be the test dummy to be thrown across a chasm to see if it works… he is tied to a safety rope that is to save him from slamming into the chasms wall in case he doesn’t get the height he needs…. hence the WALLBANGER… GET IT?!!! ….I think I’m HILARIOUS!!! š¤£šš¤£š By the way, have you ever wanted to drink a creamsicle?? Because, now’s your chance!!

The story was good! The writing could have used a bit of tightening. It was a challenge to get passed some editing errors, which was why I didn’t put up a review for it. I didn’t want to dissuade anyone when it could have been the copy I received.
