The Roan by E.R Barr is an interesting read, I am not into fantasy, myth and fiction all in one, but I like that the story placed good and evil at par and the good won.

This sounds like a great science fiction book. I'm now begining to like the characters. I'm especially curious to find out what kind of genetic research Dr. Drake was doing and how it affected other characters. Congratulations to the author for becoming today's BOTD.

“Roan” by E.R. Barr is an action filled sci-fi mystery that takes place in Tinker Grove, WI. Readers will learn about shapeshifting creatures that are called Roan. The main character is Connor Archer who is living in Chicago at the beginning of the story. He is attacked by a biker on the streets of Chicago and when he hurries home, he passes a woman bathing in a fountain that tells him about his future. When he arrives home, he finds his mother dying and she urges him to return to their native home in Tinkers Grove. He boards a bus and heads for Wisconsin. The first chapter of the book includes many twists and turns including Walter Johnson making a incredible escape from a demon named Piasa and other events that are best described as good versus evil. Connor arrives in Tinkers Grove very ill and he is still grieving the loss of his mother. He meets his Aunt Emily and other very supportive people in town who help him rise to the challenges and he learns that his father was a non-human mound dweller named Madoc and the fate of two different worlds depends on his actions. Conor begins to realize that he has special powers but he wants to remain human and when the battle begins, he is determined to defeat the evil around him. This is a very exciting book that I have added to my to-read shelf. A very good official review.

I'm all into otherworldly, mythical stories that contains magic and magical creatures. I'm getting strong "Men In Black" vibes from the book review I just read. I hope this is not the only book in the series because Conor's future is full of adventures. Congrats to the author for receiving the BOTD honor.
