Within the blink of an eye, Daniel Martin’s life takes a sordid turn. An unexpected accident lands him smack-dab in the middle of a battle with no way of getting back home. He’s not sure as to how he’s come to be in the new world, but he’ll do anything to try and make his way back into his wife’s loving arms. Unfortunately, doing so is not as easy as it seems.

In this world, he’s recognized as ‘The Stranger’, the one who’s supposed to save this ravaged place from captivity and chaos. Daniel knows nothing about this supposed savior. Nor is he like what these people think he is. He has no powers, and he has no way of meeting their demands. Yet there’s nothing he can do to shake the people’s beliefs in him.

When it becomes apparent that those he’s traveling with are out for blood, Daniel starts to wonder if he’ll ever make it out of this new world in one piece. People are coming at him like there’s no tomorrow, intent on doing away with him, once and for all. He’s not exactly sure what’s going on, despite the people’s claims that his presence has been prophecized. His goal is to stay alive long enough to make it back home, even though he knows the odds are stacked up against him. Achieving that, however, is a whole new ball game as he dodges the numerous attempts on his life in hopes of fulfilling an unknown destiny that everyone seems to be aware aside from him.

This was honestly a very unique and intriguing story. Quite violent, at times, it opens up the reader’s eyes to an unforgiving world where it’s citizens live by a ‘kill, or be killed’ creed. It’s very apparent that Ron has taken quite a bit of time to craft and fully flesh out the world his characters live in. You get caught up in Daniel’s plight, and fervently wish to see him come out on top. This looks like it’s set up to be a very promising series, and I look forward to what comes next.

Synopsis:
