Death Flag
Madison spends his days lugging around boxes in a warehouse while dreaming of adventure and longing to see the world. He keeps his head down, goes to work, and does his job to earn a living, but he can't help but feel that his life is passing him by with nothing that he can do to change it. Then, on the way home from work one day, he is confronted by a beautiful but vengeful woman who accuses him of crimes he doesn't remember committing and banishes him to another world as punishment.
Now, trapped in a mysterious world he didn't think existed outside of fairy tales, pursued by angry slavers and vengeful pirates, and in the company of killers and assassins, he has to figure out how to survive long enough to get revenge and make it home. The only problem is that he might not be as innocent as he thinks he is, and everyone else seems to know more about his past than he does.

Death Flag is a fantasy story like many others, person gets transported to another world, person has no idea why, person is constantly breaking rules because of lack of knowledge, person winds up being a focal point for events in the world.
For the most part, this book has the feel of a cross between The Wizard's First Rule, and The Druid of Shanara. What with the valley kind of being a cross between the wizard's keep and the Druid's keep, the high ranking staff of the valley kind of filling the role of the wizards, and of course, the many adventures of the main character, sort of mirroring Richard's adventures.
Despite this comparison, the book isn't a copycat story, it has a unique flavor all its own, and that makes it a very good read to be sure. I don't know if there's more books in this series or not, but when/if there are, I'd certainly like to read them, I really enjoy this story, due in no small part to the fact that the bad guys get plenty of butt kicking. You can't beat that.

Overblown fight scenes and little explanation given
The story at first was great and intriguing, but by a quarter of the way through I could barely stand the long drawn out unlikely to survive numerous fight scenes that lasted four or more pages with no advancement of the storyline. The past quarter of the novel gave up nothing of the storyline that wasn’t obviously hinted at previously even though it was supposed to be a big reveal. Not going to bother looking fora second in the series.

Can not recommend
I can not recommend this book for the simple reason that it needs to be edited badly. It's not just wrong words used, there are sentences that have entire words missing. It's not just a few either. Almost every page has mistakes.
I couldn't keep my suspension of belief due to the number of mistakes and couldn't finish the book.
If it is ever edited I might finish reading it.

This is an epic book
So this book keeps you guessing it. You're hopping around trying to figure stuff out right along with the character I really enjoy this book I'm hoping there's more books in the series come out of all of them right now
