I was glad I kept reading because paragraph 3 told me he was somewhere in the Middle East, and it turned out he was in the middle/and part of a digging site in Israel at the ancient temple grounds of the first temple, built by King Solomon. From there, I am determined to read until the end because I am an avid reader of such times and era.
The sample portion I read is a great setup for the rest of the book. Calling the voice character of the ring Smith is a wonderful idea. I don't know where the name came from, but it's interesting nonetheless. The portion of the book I read envisions powers, intellect, wisdom and so much more from one of the most charismatic figures of ancient times. I can't wait to dive into the book to find if the author Sam B. Miller II is worthy of depicting the wonders of this historical figure; of which I have been charmed by since I've learned how to read very early in my childhood.
What I have read so far grips me. The early taste into the menacing character of Mr. Laspor is worthy of the story line so far. The somewhat innocent, microscopic knowledge of Jake's Father into the rings origins and powers is beautiful. I suspect that he will find way late in the game that his son Jake holds what he has been looking for all along. His friend Avner I happen to appoint as a budding genius, but I wonder if the author will do anything with this line later on in the book. I don't know, but I anticipate that there will be other characters introduced into the story in latter chapters that will only enhance it....I hope.
This is the first time I've read one of Mr. Miller II's books. I like it already. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to taste some of his work. I highly recommend this book to anyone reading this review. I love it!
