The Swords of B'ajj: Truthseeker

by James Buehler, Michael Welch (Illustrator), Anika Buehler (Illustrator)

Long ago, five nearly indestructible swords were created by the mysterious B'ajj. The first of these swords, Truthseeker, falls into the hands of Bart Taylor, an ordinary teen with ordinary ambitions. After inadvertently saving the beautiful Erin McNamara from her would-be kidnappers and vowing to protect her, Bart is drawn into a conflict on another planet that could bring a vicious overlord's wrath down on Earth. In the face of a colossal battle, the magical sword could be the key to the safekeeping of not only Erin but also an entire solar system.


To the This is a work of fantasy. It's for your enjoyment. There are things in here that could never happen, so don't fret about that. I use some Middle English, but it is not perfect. It isn't intended to be perfect. It has evolved on the plaent that uses it. It's not that difficult to work through. Have a little fun with something that you don't see every day. This is the first book in a series of five. The characters will develop over time. Don't rush them. They have plenty of time to become more than they are in this book. Read the rest of the series. See how they grow. Thank you for taking the time to read my books. If you follow through with them, you'll enjoy them. Tell a friend or two about them!

This was a fun and creative space adventure story written by a Nebraska author. Set in the year 2052, a young man, by the name of Bart, enlists a group of his friends to assist in a solar system rescue mission that involves jousts, swords, and an evil tyrant who happens to be the long-lost older brother of King Henry the Eighth. You do have to suspend disbelief to get through most of this book but the reader is rewarded with some fun characters and action. It also seems that there were uneven references of future technology, for example, I am not sure if pencils and pads will be much in use in 2052, but for the most part, this is a good book. I liked the multi-leveled cities. Kudos to the author.

Very good dialogue. It is Young adult because I felt a lot of depth could have been added to all the characters. Best line of book was "after all, a life is important no matter who you are or what you look like on the outside. Maybe we should get to know an adversary a little better. Maybe they are not that much different."

Quite an adventure, some places provided a bumpy ride but it was fun. The author need to do more research on the use of 'Ol English', even just read the King James version of the Bible would do. An airfield is for aircraft not space ships! Give it a read and encourage an author to forge ahead.

Meh

Stilted language, undeveloped characters, ridiculous plot line. At least it was short and clean. Maybe a nice story for young boys who love adventure and don't care about a good story.

Good story. I feel, though, that a lot of the things the characters did and said were a little unrealistic.
