Arkana Sword and Sorcery Adventure #1
Kradak the Champion
They call him Kradak, but his friends call him Steve.
He's big and strong - an actor who plays a hero named Kradak in a series of B-movies.
When Rista and Grint come through the portal from Arkana, they don't understand what a movie is. They think Steve truly is Kradak the Champion.
They kidnap him and take him back to Arkana to help them save their world. Once they discover the truth, it is too late. The portal is closed. Steve needs to become a hero. The fate of two worlds hangs in the balance.
Rista of the Blade is a strong woman whose beauty is only surpassed by her skill in battle.
Grint is a shapeshifting goblin with a tendency toward being sarcastic.
Do they make the perfect team? Or will the bickering be their undoing?
Mythology comes alive in Arkana, where Cyclops, Rock Titans, Trolls, and magic swords really exist.
Kradak the Champion is the first book in the Arkana Sword and Sorcery Adventure trilogy. The remaining two books will both be published in 2021.

Shawn Inmon does it again. Somehow he has created another great story line in yet another genre. I am glad he mentioned Galaxy Quest in the post book authors notes as it was the first thing I thought of to compare this too. Imagine a low rent Conan the Barbarian gets kidnapped and taken to a fantasy world sort of like from his movies (ala Galaxy Quest) He also says he was a fan of the Conan books and certainly mentions Conan the Barbarian in this book.
I wish I had an incredibly fertile mind like Shawn Inmon who seems to just come up with story ideas every other week and then is able to put them into words. He is so prolific that if you do not pay attention to his author page for a week you might find a couple of new books! He has done that to me several times now, he had said he was going to take a break from Middle Falls for a while at the end of one of the books so I did not check his page for a bit. I received a new book suggested because I had read all of the others and there were two more Middle Falls books and A door into time. I thought that series was over and boom two more books and then recently I go back to the page and TWO Kradak books were there! I have chided him about his work ethic on social media, he jokingly commented that he was considering upping his output and now I am not so sure he was kidding.
As an avid reader I love it, I just hope he does not burn himself out because I have loved every book he has written. I look back on Thomas Weaver and it blows my mind how good he already was then and how good he became by the time Charles Waters was out (who will probably remain my favorite Inmon character for a long time) That book really made me think about a lot of things then Robert Burke was short but absolutely gutted me. And now a book in a genre that I HATE was a book I could not put down.
I bought the 2nd book after the first chapter in this one. At this point any book Shawn Inmon comes out with I am not going to debate getting just because its in a genre that I am not fond of.
Hey Amazon, you should add a just give me any new book from these authors option, that way I do not even have to look at their pages to make sure I get the next book from Inmon, Nathan Van Coops and all of my favorite authors without having to check in to see if there is a new book or forget to check in for a week and find out there are 15 new books from Shawn Inmon.

Kradak FTW !
This story was fun. I really thought I wouldn't enjoy the humor but apparently I surprised myself, it was balanced and was actually humorous without being ridiculous and using profanity. The humor fit.
Humor wasn't the entirety though. The story was very interesting and was an actual tale, it wasn't an aside to trying to be a comic.
I enjoyed Steve and really liked Grint. I'm glad the ending met my expectations of growth in Steve and staying on track with the mission.
While reading this I felt like I was at a campfire listening to a very enjoyable storyteller weave me a tale. And it went by so quickly. I can't wait to dive into the next book because I need to know how it totally ends and I want to see the groups dynamics and I actually want more of the funniness throughout.

Kradak the Champion by Shawn Inmon
Steve Montross, the actor who plays a hero named Kradak in a series of B-movies, knows his career is taking a slow nosedive. After the premiere of his latest movie in a multiplex on the outskirts on Los Angeles, he meets a couple female fans. One a petite buxom blonde named Grint. The other was tall, athletic, elegant, and named Rista. Steve feels lucky and invites them to his condo for drinks. The women stealthily add a knockout powder to Steve’s drink and haul him off to the portal to take Kradak back to their home planet, Arkana, because they need a hero to stop the darkness from devouring their planet. They actually believe Steve is the real hero Kradak, they don’t understand that Kradak is a role Steve plays on screen. All the heroic feats and adventures are make-believe. When Steve awakens he insists this is all a huge practical joke being pulled on him, until the adventure turns deadly.
Rista decides they will have to turn Kradak into the hero they need him to be to save Arkana from the encroaching darkness. The characters which inhabit Arkana are diverse, some are human like with differing talents, and some without. Then there is Grint, he is the shapeshifting goblin who was the buxom blonde who urged Steve to invite them back to his condo back home on earth.
Their trek is slow since they are traveling by foot, and there are twists that send the small group in a different direction, often for a good cause. Other times their path led them into mortifying situations. At long last they are finally in the town to meet the guide who will take them up to the monastery that keeps Lumina, the magic sword Kradak needs to battle the darkness. A huge wrench is thrown in the mix. Steve is angry and confused, and now he is wondering if he is even on the right side of this fight or not.
“Kradak the Champion” is the first book in this series and the foundation has been set up for the real quest to begin. To find and stop Mikol who created this vast darkness. I felt like this book came to a satisfying conclusion.
FYI: “Kradak the Champion” is book 1 in Shawn Inmon’s, An Arkana Sword and Sorcery Adventure. **Originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog. May have received a free review copy.** June 30, 2021

They needed a hero...they got Steve.
Champions come in all shapes and sizes. This one looks the part. Probably looks the part a bit too much. Used to the camera shot where he takes down the bad guy with one punch, cut to the long shot of the bad guy down for the count. Music plays the hero’s them, fade to credits. The real stuff is just not a scriptwriter’s or an actor’s dream. The final shot is not here yet...but you can feel it’s there. Read this book, prepare to be hooked.

Thank you to Brianna at Wunderkind PR and the Podium Audio team for reaching out to see if I would be interested in reviewing anything from the new Podium line. I was granted complimentary access to this title via Audible gift code. My thoughts are my own and my review is honest.
Kradak the Champion is Galaxy Quest if the series in question had been Conan the Barbarian and the alien planet was something out of a Tolkein novel, and it's exactly as wild a ride as its sounds. Earth's mythology is their history and reality, spread across a fleeting portal between worlds by lost and wandering bards. Their world is threatened by evil and a champion is needed to claim the Arkana Sword and save them all. Unfortunately for one-trick pony actor Steve, the latest band of hopefuls who crossed that unpredictable portal and wound up at his latest media appearance (asking strange questions like why he's dressed so weirdly,) they think the film series in which he played the leading role were documentaries and he seems like the perfect hero to hedge all their bets on.
Poor Steve.
This book is witty upon witty! There are jokes and references and one-liners layered on top of one another in such perfect proportions that you won't be done laughing at the last joke when the next one lands every page of the way. As you laugh along (mostly at Steve's expense) you'll start to see that, against all odds, the best possible team to save Arkana is actually forming right before your eyes despite how inept and imperfect each member of the team is alone. This is the first book in a trilogy and naturally it ends with so many questions left unanswered, but you won't mind. (Especially not if you can start reading/listening to book 2 right away!)
I truly enjoyed every minute of this book and I can't wait to continue the adventure. This author is now firmly on my radar and I'm shocked to see such a plentiful backlist that I wasn't aware of. I would be honoured to be invited to review the rest of this trilogy and/or other titles from this author, but if that invite never comes I'll absolutely still be putting them on my TBR and acquiring them at some point. I must know what happens next!
As for the narrative performance, this audiobook was a joy to listen to. The pacing is great, each character sounds distinct, and the overall performance is just as entertaining as the plot. I have no complaints and I will definitely keep an eye out for titles narrated by Wayne Mitchell in the future as well.
Thanks again to Wunderkind PR and Podium Audio for this opportunity!

Kradak the Champion is the start of Shawn Inmon's Arkana Sword and Sorcery Adventure, an epic fantasy series with a sense of humor and adventure. This series is perfect for readers that enjoy portal fantasies, but with a few twists.
They say that you never really know your heroes. That is undoubtedly true of Kradak. He saved countless lives, proving to be a hero to all. However, those that actually know him call him Steve. Because you see – Steve is an actor.
He plays Kradak on the big screen, with decreasing success each release. Yet these movies were enough to trick a couple of desperate souls into kidnapping Kradak, ahem, Steve, in the hopes that he would save their world.
Kradak the Champion is nothing like what I expected. Okay, almost nothing like I expected. It is still a portal fantasy, but it has such a good sense of humor about itself. Likewise, the world that Steve was dragged into was even more fantastical and dangerous than I had envisioned.
In other words, I ended up enjoying Kradak the Champion more than I had hoped, and I had fairly high hopes for this one (I'm going to blame that on the description and purple cover). The whole Steve/Kradak thing still has me giggling, which I appreciate.
The story is a bit slow to start, as we have to get to know Steve and his steadily declining career as an actor. However, once he's dragged into a new dimension, the story quickly kicks off – understandably.
Steve's world is turned upside down, as he suddenly has to learn how to be a hero – not just act like one on set. It's a lot to take in, and it isn't always easy. There are lots of ups and downs on his path, resulting in a highly entertaining first novel to the series.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the story continues from here, so hopefully, the wait won't be too long. Also, this was my first time reading anything by Shawn Inmon, but a quick look at his biography shows a whole lot of interesting books in his backlog. I'm going to have to keep that in mind.
Thanks to Podium for making this book available for review. All opinions expressed are my own.

OK Shawn, I love Middle Falls, I really enjoy Alex Hawk, but when I started reading Kradak, I said oh no, I don't think I'm gonna like this one.......I continued reading and found myself laughing out loud at the things that were happening. Kradak aka Steve found himself in quite the mess as he had been taken for a Champion to Arkana, shall we say a parallel universe and not a clue as to how he got there or how he would get home. Poor thing, an American actor, I think they must be B movies, stuck where they didn't know acting from a hole in the ground. Well, I continued to read and find so many different situations for "our hero" to come up against, that can't be explained..........He can't speak Arkanain, uses a bracelet translator that has no idea about American lingo or how to put it into any reference his captors could translate to their world. Well, Shawn, I still love Middle Falls, and looking forward to the new Alex Hawk, and yes, I admit I now have a third character in your lineup that has me laughing, and cheering him on to glory in his quest to Save a world. This one is truly humorous and I'v pre-ordered the next Kradak book. Still a BIG fan...................Keep them coming, I'm reading.

Steve Montross was an actor whose greatest role was as Kradak the Champion.
A sword swinging hero, a champion, Steve's breakout role as Kradak brought him notoriety, if not fame. His first, Kradak the Champion, had been a surprise success at the box office. Each succeeding Kradak movie had a tighter budget and a smaller audience. Having just finished the fourth movie in the series, Steve didn't feel much like celebrating, but a beautiful blond and her friend convinced him to share a drink with them. Steve woke bleary eyed on a world called Arkana and they needed a champion. All their research led them to Kradak as the hero they needed. Trying as hard as he could, he couldn't convince them that Kradak was a role he played, that he was an actor, not a hero. But one look at his 6' 4" height and 220 pounds of sculpted muscle and they knew he was the champion they needed.
Great characters and an amusing storyline bring a great tale and a good read!

Well, shucks! This ends in a cliffhanger and the sequel is only available on Amazon and I don't use a Kindle. I'm kind of fine with that, but I would have continued if it were on Smashwords or Kobo. Anyway, this was basically a cross between The Three Amigos and The Eternal Champion. Although not quite as good as either, it was surprisingly enjoyable. The characters didn't have that much flesh on them, but they weren't entirely flat and the plot carried them along well without twisting them around. The plotting and pacing were both decent and the story kind of fun. The humor was what you'd expect – cheesy action-story stuff – but it didn't feel forced and wasn't overdone. I didn't exactly like any of the characters, but none of them annoyed me. Overall, I'd say that this was a good read.

It's hard to believe this is the same author who produced the Middle Falls series. That work showed a nuanced understanding of emotions and motivation. This book... not so much.
The protagonist has nothing to recommend him. He has no skills, no confidence, and no agency. His kidnappers keep him ignorant, even when it risks all of their lives. Thus I deduce ignorance is essential to his role; I wouldn't tell the maiden what the dragon was going to do with her either.
Kradak/Steve is unlikeable, stupid, and easily led. Not the sort of character I'd set as the core of an adventure story. The whole thing lacks verisimilitude.

Fun Read
Kradak (Steve), an actor, is kidnapped by two beautiful women and brought to the parallel world of Arkana. Things are not as they seem. One of the women is not human or even a woman, and Steve is not the Champion he plays in movies. What to do! What to do! Rista decides to make him into the champion he looks like. After all, their world depends on it. I like the action and humor. I look forward to the next book.

From one of my favorite, prolific authors came that “other series” I wasn’t sure about. My list was long and I wasn’t sure I was in the mood for what appeared to be a hardcore sci-fi novel.
This was Alex Hawk meets Galaxy Quest. Lots of humor, distinct characters, and not at all what I was expecting. It’s my understanding this was initially a trilogy but is now a completed duoloy. Whatever it is, I strongly recommend it!

A new time travel adventure!
Well, here I go again down one of Shawn Inmon's rabbit holes. No one digs them better. Steve, Rista, and Grint are something else. This quest is just the right mix of adventure, drama, darkness, and humor. I like the Easter Egg within as well, a carry over from the Alex Hawk series. On to the next!

Can Steve become Kradak the Champion?
This story does answer the question.
I generally don’t much like stories with unexplained technology (magic), but it is used sparingly, and I very much enjoyed reading this adventure.
The description “Conan meets Galaxy Quest” that I read in another review seems appropriate.

This was a book definitely geared toward a younger audience. It wasn't bad, but light on plot. The hero is goofy, although in a good way most of the time. I'm glad I didn't give up on it, which I almost did a few chapters in.

I laughed. A lot. I bought this on a whim - wanted something different from what I have been listening to via Audible. It was nothing like I expected and that is a good thing. Very enjoyable.
Also, the narrator made the story better. Well done, sit! Well done.

Kradak the Champion is an action-packed sword and sorcery tale. It includes some very terse, dangerous events but, also, some laugh-out-loud moments. I enjoyed it very much.

Never winning
I generally love this authors books, but never winning or taking anything from his former life makes it hard to keep interested. Please put more success in future books.

I had the honour of an early read. Lots of adventure and plenty to keep your imagination on it's toes, it's brilliant. I can't wait for the next one!!

Conan meets Galaxy Quest
A grim sense of fatal amusement. Heroic quests that end strangely, Zombies, shape changers, magic and nudity. I am looking forward to the movie!

If you're willing to take this with your tongue placed firmly in cheek then it's pretty entertaining stuff. I've listened to the first two and would love to see more.

Captivating and humorous!
I was captivated and loved the characters. The characters were strong and yet had weaknesses. I didn’t want to stop reading.
