New York Times bestselling author Gregory Mone brings Mattel’s He-Man and the Masters of the Universe together for a Tales of Eternia adventure in the first book of this original middle-grade series based on the hit Netflix show!
By the Power of Grayskull . . . I have the Power!
A mysterious toxic gas is spreading across Eternia, ravaging farmlands and endangering citizens. The planet’s only hope lies with Adam, a lost prince with cosmic abilities. When he wields the mystical Sword of Power, he transforms from a scrawny teen into He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe.
With his friends Teela, Cringer, Duncan, and Krass by his side, Adam embarks on a dangerous journey, facing pirates, dragons, and perils at every turn in search of Moss Man, a legendary figure who might hold the key to stopping the devastating stench. Yet the sinister Skeletor and his Dark Masters will stop at nothing to thwart the unlikely heroes. The fate of all Eternia rests with He-Man and his friends.
A really fun book! It absolutely reads like you're watching an episode of the cartoon. I haven't watched the reboot this is based on, but I still had a lot of fun.
Loved it!! Seriously though, the masters of the universe include Mr Gregory Mone. This book was amazing. The humor the fun it's all there just like the show. And the characters stay true. It is beautiful. This story just like its predessor holds such hope for humanity and friendship with the cherry of fun and adventure on top. I hope this series continues on Netflix, my inner child is booming lately with awesome shows like this. I also hope that we see more Tales of Eternia novels, bring em on!! Thank you Gregory Mone, that really made me root yet again for the Masters of the Universe! THEY HAVE THE POWERRRRR!!!
Wow! I'm 50 years old and I'm reading a He-Man novel gear towards young adult crowd, why? Well, nostalgia is a powerful drug and He-Man was the best thing (TV, toys) when I was young. But now, as an adult with an extensive reading background, I see He-Man as a Conan type sword-and sorcery with post-apocalyps science-fiction mashed-up and that is freaking cool (but it's mostly because of the nostalgia). Was it good? Yes very. The novel is simple but very entertaining with plenty of action and humour. It felt like I was reading an episode of the Masters of the Universe TV show from my youth and it was a blast.
