The Fallen Odyssey
Author:
Corey McCullough is an independent copy editor, proofreader, ghostwriter, and author. He lives in western Pennsylvania with his amazing wife Vanessa and their two beautiful daughters. His favorite pastimes are reading, writing, playing video games, spending time with his best friend (Vanessa), and, most of all, being a dad.
A teenager’s wish to escape his stressful life just came true — with otherworldly consequences.
Nothing is going right for Justin Holmes. Like many seventeen-year-olds, he sometimes wishes he could just run away and leave everything behind. But he gets more than he bargained for when he storms out of the house after an argument with his father and accidentally steps into a parallel universe of swords, shields, magic, and monsters.
Suddenly, Justin is desperate to find a way back to his ordinary life in small-town America. His search for answers takes an unexpected turn when a strange old man and a powerful mercenary recruit him to rescue a kidnapped princess. But their rescue mission quickly takes a disastrous turn and becomes a life-or-death flight deep into the unknown wilds. Justin and his unlikely allies are on the run from dark forces wielding deadly, arcane power — demonic beings that seem to have suddenly arrived from somewhere beyond this world . . . just like Justin.
Justin may not be a fighter, but he is intelligent and strong-willed. He soon realizes that nothing in this world is what it seems. Even his allies’ mission may have all been a ruse . . . to get to him.
Ancient secrets are revealed that could shake the foundations of this alternate world . . . and might unlock Justin’s portal home.
The Fallen Odyssey is a contemporary portal fantasy novel for college and “new adult” audiences. It is the first of a trilogy but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel. If you like epic, serious fantasy about dangerous quests in magical worlds, check out The Fallen Odyssey.
Goes premium VERY early and hasn't been updated in a month has 175 chaps even though it hasny got enough reviews for a rating and it has only 13k views this is a mystery I can't answer.... But what I can tell you is that this is a good novel.
This is a complete book, it is 3 dollars on Amazon kindle, go buy there, its definetely worth it. My review follows: This book brought me back to when i first started reading fantasy, the feeling of discovery, excitement, and a bit of confusion too :p . its the first book in a long time that made me connect with the characters, through good and bad. It has the right amount of chaos and hope to make you wonder what is gonna happen next, and at some points I was yelling at the main character for being stupid, only to five minutes later apologize, because I saw what he was feeling and trying to do. Would definetely recommend.
It's great you can feel its good old school novel. The only problems are people reactions to so called fallen angels (people who traveled to different world). There is a lot of forced by author status on this status(fallen angel = brainwashed love of 50% world and the other 50% is antagonistic but still seem have desire even when he did 0 to deserve it. It's a little like: He is chosen so all of a story will be around him and his personal development(emotions power etc).
