The Stranger: Marooned

by Travis Smith

The Stranger: Marooned is a genre-blending novel that continues the story of The Stranger, a once-prince, left for dead, now on a quest to find his lost family. The multiple storylines established in Book 1 begin to coalesce in this densely fast-paced sequel. Each chapter provides a self-contained snapshot of The Stranger's life, quest, past, and world. As the often out-of-sequence pieces fall into place, readers are promised a unique and compelling read that will demand revisiting.

The world has changed. Allegiances have shifted. The balance between good and evil has been not only tipped, but the scales completely knocked off the table. The punishers have abandoned their troth, and evil has nothing left to which it must answer. Atrocities previously unfathomable are free to ascend from their underground lairs and let loose their depravity from nation to nation until nothing of honor remains.The Stranger's quest to find his family continues as he escapes Eugene's island and sets off in a blind rush for Reprise. Book 2: Marooned finds The Stranger shipwrecked in a strange land, where he must battle to free himself from both physical and mental captivity. When he encounters other protector souls who too are destined for his journey, The Stranger is forced to question the validity of his quest and whether or not he truly must walk his path alone.

This book is rad! I should know, I wrote it!

[Nerdy Girls Book Club · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Stranger: Marooned is a truly gripping tale of a man lost, struggling to find his family and himself along the way. A new storyline is introduced in the second book with a deep and powerful portrayal of our modern world, while connecting in unrevealed ways to the world of The Stranger. The author leaves hidden crumbs and plot twists throughout the book that will keep your heart racing with anticipation. As you read deeper into the storyline you’ll become more connected to the characters who all experience love, loss and triumphs on their page by page journey. And the cliff-hanger ending will have you screaming out loud (like I did)! I highly recommend you read this book.
