Journey

NEBADOR #2

by J.Z. Colby, Amanda Herman (Illustrator), Mireille Xioulan Powers (Illustrator)

NEBADOR - the incredible journey of five young adults from poverty and oppression to respected citizenship in the wide universe ... This epic young-adult science fiction adventure continues as Ilika and his nine students make their way through the countryside as he teaches them. Tested by needy people, burned by steam, pounded by the ocean at high tide, and attacked by wild animals, they must find reserves of courage they didn't know they had. A disaster threatens to end their journey when it catches them in three separate groups. They all come to the first mountain pass transformed, hardly recognizing the people they once were. - BOOK JOURNEY is the second book in the NEBADOR series. These stories are filled with wit-sharpening and skill-honing challenges - mental, emotional, and spiritual - for both the characters and the reader. It is truly a grand adventure in which the characters come to understand a beloved saying of the Nebador Transport Personal power is the ability to stand on your own two feet, with a smile on your face, in the middle of a universe that contains a million ways to crush you. - This is the PAPERBACK MEDIUM PRINT edition in 12-point type, revision 2.

299 pages, Paperback

About the author

Born in the Mojave Desert, J. Z. Colby now lives and writes deep in a forest of the Pacific Northwest.

He has studied many subjects, formally and informally, including psychology, philosophy, education, and performing arts, but remains a generalist. His primary profession as a mental health counselor, specializing with families and young adults, gives him many stories of personal growth, and the motivation to develop his team of young critiquers and readers.

All his life, he has been drawn toward a broad understanding of human nature, especially those physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual situations in which our capacity to function seems to reach its limits. He finds fascinating those few individuals who can transcend the limits of our common human nature and the dictates of our cultures.

In his spare time, he flies helicopters and airplanes.

Note: I am not attempting to list all the books I've ever read on GoodReads, but just those I've written, and a few that have passed my way very recently.

LETTER TO READERS:

Greetings, young people of planet Earth,

Much adult science fiction is based on the assumption that the human race will be in charge, or at least high up on the pecking order, when we venture to the stars. Young adults have a somewhat clearer memory that when they graduated elementary school, they were not immediately movers and shakers of the world, but instead found themselves in middle school.

Young adults also remember well the training wheels on their first small bicycles. Will-power alone could not propel them to their destinations.

Nebador is about little steps the smallest of us can make from the playpen to the university, from the gutter to the stars.

As you know, your world is changing very rapidly. During times of change, those who are stuck in old, rigid ways of thinking and feeling often don’t do well. Those who can see far and think clearly are best prepared to survive, prosper in some way, and find happiness.

Stories like these help by letting us walk in the shoes of those who have lived through similar times. They become our heroes, giving us strength when we face challenges, and whispering their inspiration to us when we must solve problems.

Someday, many years from now, your stories may also be told, and you will become heroes to younger people who are struggling to understand the universe. They will take comfort in your courage, and learn from the lessons you have already learned.

J. Z. Colby

[Shanna · Rating 5 out of 5]

If I have to make one complaint about this series, it has to be the fact it wasn't out ten years ago! It combines everything a young adult such as myself ten years ago would've wanted in a series; adventure and a survivalist journey, action and sci-fi elements, examples of human kindness and human cruelty, a simple medieval setting with a touch of romance! What's not to love?

After presenting such an original and absorbing story in the first novel of the Nebador series, a reader has to wonder if J.Z. Colby would be able to repeat this feat in Journey. Or would Book Two follow the same fate as many series and take a sudden downward spiral in the second novel? Well, I'm happy to report that no, Journey was not disappointing, and was packed with perhaps twice the excitement of its predecessor. Now that Ilika and his students no longer reside in the relative safety of a town inn, they're exposed to all the troubles the great outdoors has in store for them, from prowling thieves and superstitious rural peasants to rabid wolves and the occasional roaring forest fire!

If you enjoyed the first novel in the series, I'd definitely recommend you run out and grab yourself a copy of Journey, you won't be disappointed. Journey was no easier to put down than The Test.

The technology or “magic” which we were only exposed to hints of in Book One is finally being revealed in the sequel, though not to an extent that we're fully relieved of our curiosity for the mysterious devices. After all, if you know everything the world isn't nearly as exciting.

Alas, questions the first book left us with are not all yet answered. Where IS this mysterious ship anyway? What is it? Two novels in and I'm still not sure if Ilika is actually leading them anywhere towards the ship or if he's just taking his students on a countryside tour.

And talking about students, the agony of waiting for the pick is pure torture! I have two narrowed down that I personally think will be eliminated, but I wouldn't be surprised if my assumption is totally wrong. I may have been the only person in history that didn't guess the ending of Sixth Sense until it was totally laid out for us after all.

I'll leave this review on one last note...what are those sneaky priests up to?

As I wrote about the first book, pure brilliance! I found Journey had to have been my favorite of the two that have come out so far (eagerly awaiting the rest!). J.Z. Colby knows how to keep people at attention. Although it is recommended for young adults, which I agree with, I can say that I would recommend it to anyone regardless of age. Personally, I wasn't a science-fiction fan, until I read The Test, then I was hooked. I had to read Journey! This is a must read for people of all ages, it has a little something for everyone! Life lessons, growing and developing relationships, heartwarming characters, suspense, romance, and all throughout the book you feel as though you're developing your own personal relationships with the characters...it's hard to feel like you're not right there with them! Ilika, the main character, is definitely a keeper. An amazing creation, J.Z. Colby has made a character for everyone. Whether you're an Ilika, Kibi, Miko, Boro, Sata, so on and so forth, I find it impossible to not have a relationship and connection with each and every one of the characters! A must read series!! Between the first page to the last page, J.Z. Colby has shown true brilliance.

I just recently finished the second and third books on the Nebador series, called "The Journey" and "The Selection", but I am here today to talk about "The Journey".

After your read Nebador Book One: The Test, you are left with a sense that it may be grand, but you're not quite sure. You like it and you think it's very informative and interesting - but's not quite loveable. You have several characters: one ship’s captain, one innkeeper's daughter, nine ex-slaves and several secondary characters like Doti, the healer, Pica the painter, the baker, Sata’s parents and so on. It’s even quite hard to remember who are the boys and the girls, since their names are so alike.
Everything changes on The Journey. Suddenly, we understand them. We follow them around their country, their realm, and see them interacting with the several experiences in life – from different people to different ideas, from customs to dangers, from trusting people unconditionally to weighing your options.

We follow along their lessons of math, English, logic, trigonometry, geometry and, well, things that I honestly barely remembered from high school. But that’s not the most important part, and I’m sure Ilika thought that way as well, the most important part was to see how they interact with the world. Or else he would have just taken them somewhere and stayed there until they were all done.

Around half the book, we can be pretty sure who we are leaving behind and who’s going to the ship. We have one innkeeper’s daughter and 8 former slaves, all wanting to get into Ilika’s ship, which we are sure isn’t like a normal ship and, well, most likely not even from this world. And yet, there’s place for only 5 crew members, so 4 of them must go.

I had only one or two doubts on who was going, after a while, but near the end J. Z. Colby almost had me confused: he almost made me lose one of my favorite characters and one I was sure to get in the ship…

You may relate more to one or another character, but their strengths and weaknesses aren’t much obvious, they are subtle. You can see who’s strong in math and who’s strong in English, you can also notice who’s a strong leader (like Boro and Kibi) and who’s made for more following than leading, who’s made for more dreaming than doing, who’s more emotional, who’s cool and rational.

Until the end of the book, I finally could tell who was a boy and who was a girl (with one very small exception – I couldn’t tell who Rini was until around half of “The Selection”), I could tell where couples were forming and where they were set apart. I could tell who’s making in the ship and who wasn’t (at least have a very strong guess) and I could sense their differences. They weren’t just young teens, they weren’t ex-slaves or innkeeper’s daughters anymore, they were people of the world. They were people of the universe, even, as they knew much more than most people on their world knew.

Also we are introduced to a new character, Misa. She's a young girl, younger than the ex-slaves and innkeeper's daughter, Misa is a survivor on a major tragedy the team walks through, they save her and since she has no family, she stays with them until the very end - the separation. She's the only one not being considered to Ilika's staff, but she's also picking up some of the lessons and all, so she's getting something out of everything.

Ilika, too, was changed by them, as he should be. Kibi, more than the others, I suppose, which strikes me as slightly unfair – she had a certain spot on the ship. The fact that her abilities could also be used (leadership and people skills) were secondary to Ilika’s affection to her, so there were 4 spots left for everyone else. But ok. I can deal with that. Ilika was also changed by the situations. One of the harder ones being Lumber Town, I believe, and the cave during high tide, where they were under tremendous stress. He could deal with it, but he also had to direct them and that was harder than just dealing with the situation.

I thought the book was great, it was exciting and everything could happen – because they were free. They were off to an exciting and dangerous world and they were friends. Even if they had their diferences, if they had any issues, they'd work it out or work around them. Some of them weren't fit for ship crew, but that doesn't mean they aren't spectacular human beings.

I just now, looking for links and images for this post, found the "Deep Learning Notes". I love them. They make me think but don't give answers and they would've been very interesting to read while I read the book (at each chapter, for example). If you are interested in learning (and, if you liked the Nebador Series I am sure you do), I strongly advise you to use them.

After I finished it, I was supposed to read another book, but I rationalized (somehow) that I had to read The Selection. And I advise you all to do the same - buy all 3 books together (or the "Nebador Trilogy" version), or, better yet, make it 4, since book 4 is out too and read them all. It is all worth it. I want to read it all over again now... But maybe some other time, after I work out part of my TBR pile.

At times, part 2 of a series doesn't seem as interesting as the first book in the series. However, Journey, which is part 2 of the Nebador series is just as riveting.
In this book, Ilika and his group of nine students journey across the countryside, learning not just new lessons on trigonometric equations or astronomy but also learning about themselves. Yes, one can emerge stronger by overcoming one’s own weakness. The importance of EQ, rather than mere IQ or physical power is also brought out in this book, as is the importance of kindness and respecting others.
Adaptability holds the key to not just success but even basic survival. At times, it is easier to run away from an alien environment, terming it to be evil or weird, instead of coming to grips with a new situation and adapting to it. Doesn’t this sound familiar? Life is a constant journey and we do face the mental, emotional and physical challenges which Ilika and his students face in this book.
Rini is emerging as my favourite character and perhaps his feelings on the second last page of the book is something I can resonate with. I call myself a wondering wandering and Rini sums this best. I quote: The present moment in which his spirit could soar from ocean to mountains, hills to forests, was enough to make him happy. Even if he became a slave again, they could never take away his ability to be filled with the wonder an majesty of everything he saw, everything he touched, even everything he imagined.
As of now, all students journeyed across the countryside, they met little Kit – a free spirited soul yet tied down to his deceased mother, and little Misa who lost her parents in a town-fire and is travelling with them. They encountered physical challenges, emotional challenges, had to test their intellectual capacities. Some of them emerged stronger. Perhaps the next book will lead us closer to whom out of the nine students will be selected as the five crew members of the “magic” ship.
But even those who are left behind, will be better humans, having undergone various tests in their journey.

First off I would like to thank the author J. Z. Colby for sending me a free copy and allow me to enjoy the world of Nebador a little longer. Thanks again!!
So, Journey, the sequel to the Test, picks right off where we left our heroes as they continue to grow and change into the people they will become. Similarly to the Test, Journey features a lot of little lessons that make the book more interactive to the reader and gives you the feeling you're almost growing with the characters you're reading about. (I can't believe how interesting learning about math is) Journey, however, does one thing I found slightly lacking in the Test: Character development. In Journey, the characters you've just begun to get to know previously become much more deep and more complex than the first book. I felt a much bigger connection to many of them in this one (Kibi is still my favorite though :P) and had a harder time figuring out in my head who would end up being chosen than I did in the Test. I really appreciated the focus Colby placed in making these characters stand out so much more and giving us a hint of the complexities surrounding them that truly brought reality to their actions and words. The character development in this book, along with Colby's writing (which continues to be completely engrossing) really keep me interested and prevented from putting the book down. The plot, perhaps unsurprisingly since this is an ongoing series, lacks a bit in terms of actual action but the story is better served by the conflicts between and within the characters. All in all, this was a worthy sequel and gave enough of a cliffhanger for me to long for the next one. Thank you again J. Z. Colby! 4/5

‘What are your lessons about?
The students looked at each other, they all said at once, Everything!’ (p. 74)

The adventures of Ilika and his nine students continue: after escaping the city where the students were tested, the countryside awaits them.
The countryside challenges them: trust, happy and sad discoveries, love affairs, and they become aware that the journey is one way.
At the end of the book, coming to a mountain pass the group faces their past: from this high point of view, like a rite of passage, a step towards adulthood has been conquered.
‘Ilika was very proud of all his students. Each had, in his or her way, wrestled dragons to help solve their first serious trigonometry problem.’ (p. 269)

Colby chose trigonometry instead of dragons, vampires, etc. to talk to young adult. Is it a good choice? In part I think so, maybe the first book, The Test, narrated with an atmosphere of mystery (medieval city, monasteries, bracelet) grip the reader to the book better than Journey. Journey needs a bit of ‘taste’ of dragons.

‘- I wonder if I’ll have stories someday - Misa pondered out loud.
- Someday, you’ll be able to tell the story of the fire. … Sometimes they’re a little painful at first, but at time passes, they get easier to tell. Stories are like that.’ (p. 243)

The Nebador Trilogy are mindfully entertaining!!! Worth savoring (rereading when you need to feel.) For young adults, as well as young-at-heart adults. The author paints the story with vitality, each of the characters come alive, with energy and enthusiasm as they make the decision to "Seize the Day" opening the possibilities to better their lives. Feeling their anxieties they struggle with personal baggage, all the while exploring the unknowns around them. Each in their own way and time learning to shoulder responsibilities; developing true and sometimes harsh understanding of the consequences and actions, adjusting to life's circumstances that seem to be constancies that are constantly changing as their trials increase in difficulty. The trilogy: {The Test, Journey and Selection}, fills you with anticipation as you watch the characters move forward into a fascinating and complex universe filled with wondrous and magical new things to explore and discover. Jonathan's skill in weaving a story will leave the readers eager for more in the Nebador Saga.

Love this series! Can't wait to read the third book. Journey picks up from where The Test left off and is, as the title states, the journey that Ilika and his students make through the countryside. It's interesting to read about this time and place as well, and I do enjoy the refresher course in maths! ;) That's done in a way where you can learn (or revise) along with the students.

I'm not going to make any guesses about who Ilika is going to pick for his crew because I really can't decide anymore! I liked also how several of the students were faced with the choice of staying with the group or leaving for an opportunity they'd never really had before. Won't spoil who and what they choose, but one thing I have to say is I was actually really sad when Buna had to leave Noni behind! They would have made a lovely pair. :)

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel; the second in the Nebador series.

As with his first novel, Colby has the rare ability to transport his readers into an imaginary world that is very realistic. Furthermore, Colby teaches his readers some important life lessons that are very thought provoking.

My favorite quotes from this novel are;

"There are a million things out there that can kill you, and about half of them are invisible"

"Personal power is the ability to stand on your own two feet, with a smile on your face, in the middle of a universe that contains a million ways to crush you"

"Never, ever limit yourselves to what other people would do"

"You have kept a little bit of childlike openness that allows you to scream when you are hurt, cry when you are sad, and run when you are afraid."

I cannot wait to read the next novel in the series.

My daughter and I began reading the "Nebador" series as manuscripts. She was 10 at the time, and neither of us could wait to get the next book into our hands. We have read all 7 available manuscripts, and the complete set of published books. We LOVE the series, and have shared "Nebador" with several people. To date, of the readers with whom we've shared "Nebador," from the youngest (10 years old) to the oldest (80 years old), no one who has read it has told us they did not enjoy it. Quite the contrary, in fact. Most comments we've heard are similar to, "I've never read anything like it." "It's sci-fi, but not the usual 'put human problems into outer space and adjust the vocabulary' style."

Check it out! If you don't like it, you'll only be out a few hours of your time. But we're very sure you WILL like it.

I received the first three books as a gift and I will honestly say that it was a true treasure. Watching the progression of the children to major roles of an on-going tale is something I am looking forward to.

Journey seemed to run at a much faster pace then The Test. The flushing out of the character neatly interwoven into the tale and we were not bothered with boring flashbacks. I found myself making mental notes about each young adult and trying to determine who was going to be in the final crew and what would be the reason the others didn't make it.

The travel has just begun and I am awaiting the continuing of the tale.

Journey was exactly what it was titled but not just a journey of adventure for the characters in the story but a journey for their personalities and their growth as well. With all the relationships/bonds that have been made between this band of travelers, it's really created a new and exciting direction for the story and leaves me wondering what is up ahead.
