Prophecies are not always clear. That is what seventeen-year-old Silas Ainsley learns when he finds himself in a realm called Marenon. The people of Marenon are nearing the brink of war and many of them claim that Silas is the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy. Each group wants to use him for their own purposes, and he doesn't know who is trustworthy. With the help of a lawless band of mercenaries, Silas must journey to uncover the meaning of the prophecy before Marenon falls to ruin.

Most of the time when you get the kindle format (MOBI.) It can be opened with a mobi pocket reader which is free on their website

http://www.mobipocket.com/en/download....

I do not like the kindles 'free' Pc reader nearly as much as the mobipocket reader (for desktop)
So when I am at home (on my desktop) I use the mobi pocket reader when I'm at work or out of the house I use my kindle.

Tammy K. (rambles_of_a_reader) | 148 comments So, I was talking to my 23 year old son about this book, He has a strong love of high fantasy and said that he might like to read it. So I suggested that he look it up on smashwords.com.
Did you all know that it is currently listed as free there?
When I had looked this book up on Amazon its $.99 shhh, but maybe someone might check with Mr Morrow to see if it was an error to have it on smashwords free.
So my son downloaded his own copy, and said if its a good book he would add a review (he is a goodreads member already).
Then he showed me just how old I am by choosing to get the PDF format, opening it with the Adobe reader 7, which has a read-out-loud option under the view drop menu.
**Shocked** Oh man, these kids have it easy these days. and..er.. a.. wow does that say something about my age??

Eric Dunn (justanotherbookguy) Got my copy and will start reading it tonight.


message 30: by Jason (new)

Jason Morrow (jasondmorrow) Yes! It is free. I am hoping that the more people who read the first one will want to read the second one. I am so excited to see what everyone thinks.

That is very gracious of you thanks!
We are both enjoying your book.
I got to chapter 13 last night and should finish tonight when I get home.
So far your book reminds me a little of Ted Dekkers The circle series (black, red, white, green) which I loved.
Thank you again for sharing your story.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this book. I will also post my review on amazon and smashwords.


message 35: by Sandra (new)

Sandra (sandraspurlin) | 15 comments It was well written and very interesting. I read it in two days, taking breaks between to work on a report. While I am not big into Scifi or fantasy fiction, this book has me wanting to know more about the world that it takes place in. He jumps right into the action, if you are the type of person who hates the boring first few chapters of a book than you need to pick up this book! I did really like the book and I am dying to get a hold of the rest of this series.

Hi Sandra,
Before I even finished the deliverer, I bought the second book in the series The GateKeeper

The Gatekeeper (The Marenon Chronicles #2) by Jason D. Morrow

off Amazon with the plans to start reading it next week, but ended up jumping right into it.

I found it much easier of a read (I had a little struggle with the first getting all the names of the various fractions, land divisions and history down with the first). But I think it helped that I was fresh off the first book the lay out of Marenon and its people were still alive within my mind.

I am currently 74% done. It is another book that once you start you lose track of time and fall into the story.

It picks up 3 months later, and follows the continued endeavors and personal growth of the people of Marenon; the rebel group (Dunarian Council) efforts to collect the remaining medallions, Julians internal struggles as he assumes a new role, and Silas and his friends as they set out to find the gatekeeper and learn more about the prophecy.
I encourage you to give the second a try (download the sample), I bet you will get hooked again into the story.
:)

Amanda (dreamocracy) | 23 comments Here's my review! Overall I enjoyed it, but the back-and-forth with the character perspective isn't my thing. The story itself was very interesting, however.
