The Tale of Azaran #1
Warrior on the Edge of Memory
Azaran is a man without memory. Pulled from the ocean and put in chains, he remembers nothing of his past beyond his name...and the magical runes branded on his chest that make him faster and stronger then ordinary men.
Desperate and confused, he is thrust into a world where the strong prey upon the weak, where vile corsairs plunder the helpless, while hidden masters plot and intrigue to drive the world towards an apocalypse of blood and fire.
Joining forces with an exiled priest and a rebel leader, Azaran will lead a revolution against the brutal lord oppressing the Isle of Tereg. With a band of escaped slaves and freedom fighters at his back, he will charge into battle, headed to the edge of memory...where the darkness of his past awaits...

The concept intrigued me: an amnesiac man with strange and inexplicable powers he himself does not understand washes up, is fished out of the sea by pirates and put in a fighting pit for their amusement. From that trial by fire he must learn about this world and himself, before his unknown enemies track him down.
The world that's slowly being revealed proved a worthy execution: a fantastic sword and sorcery land with no end of danger, magical and human, for our hero to pit himself against. His first enemy, a pirate warlord with the power to control the wind, may prove too much for him.
On the down side, the resolution was a little too quick for my liking, but there are mysteries and hints enough to keep me reading as we explore the world and our protagonist.

I enjoyed this book. The story was easy to read, the characters were good, and the world it was set it was well defined. My only complaint is that it could have used another round of editing (e.g. it's lightning, not lightening). I'm looking forward to the additional books in the series.

Good storyline
First off, if you edit your own books, fire yourself. It was enough that it became aggravating. If someone else does and you pay for it, get your money back. I like the storyline, and outside of the edit misses, it was well written. MC was easily likable.

A fun read!
A fun read! Good plot, quality character development. The protagonist is very heroic and has an interesting and creative back story.

In the vein of classic heroes
Great first book. Can't wait to see where the wind takes it. Come see the man with nothing but his name.
