Conor and the Crossworlds, Book One: Breaking the Barrier

Conor and the Crossworlds #1

by Kevin Gerard

A truly unique tale about a reluctant hero, repeatedly called into service by the creators of a different dimension. Young Conor Jameson, a boy content to hang out with friends, play sports and video games, and attend school sees his life change time and again with every visit to the Crossworlds. With a two year interval in between each book, Conor, a little older and wiser, encounters a new mission. First as a companion to a fantasy creature, then as attendant to Lord of the champions, Conor's involvement threatens his existence more deeply with every book. At the end of the third tale, he and his girlfriend, Janine, find themselves trapped by Conor's nemesis, the shape-shifter, Seefra. The fourth book highlights Conor's journey to reassemble the champions, rescue his girlfriend and reclaim the five keys of the creators. In the fifth book, the Circle of Evil releases two doomsday weapons against Conor and the champions. The hero's journey begins anew as Conor once again puts his life at risk for the Crossworlds. The fantasy epic begins with the first release, Conor and the Breaking the Barrier.

He returned to San Diego after completing the program and worked with two professional research organizations over the next seven years. In 2004, Mr. Gerard resigned from the second position in order to pursue a writing career. While still teaching at the university, he spends the bulk of his time writing for publication.

Not awesome. I found out about this novel from a bookmark at a library and thought, 'I'll give it a try'.. Nope bad decision. It was all over the place and didn't really make sense... Although, I guess it could be his journey to coming of age???
