Ruse Creates a Fierce Set of Adventures
Adventure novels take you to exciting places.
An expert at creating likable characters and placing them in dangerous situations while keeping things wholesome for a reader who may not like gore, violence or misogyny, Gary Alan Ruse has a number of novels in his list of creations.
I picked three of Gary’s novels to introduce to you today. These three books show a consistent close attention to detail, clever use of characterization and fabulous sense of dramatic tension.
These three titles are my favorites. Treasure Seekers is an adventure tale, Morlac is fantasy and Aggie and Agent X is a “blend of science fiction and mystery.”
Best of all, he created the book covers himself.
Treasure Seekers: Tropic Demon
Once I began reading the book, I couldn’t stop. I just needed to know what happened to Mark and the group and could not put the book down.
A mysterious creature, “a demon,” brings down the plane transporting Mark’s friend as he scouts a remote location in Africa for treasure. When Mark finds out, he is driven to find out what happened to his friend and recover a treasure.
What’s not to like?
Morlac: The Quest of the Green Magician
I love quests, so this book really satisfied my desires. The best thing about this book is its fairness. There is a tendency out there to create a book that ends in a cliffhanger just so the reader has to wait for the next part. This book was really like a trilogy. It had it all.
Morlac is raised from a sea creature for mysterious purposes and has to travel through magical lands to vanquish evil. Along the way, he meets fantastic beings and gains friends. There are evil mages who would like to end his quest. In the final part of the book, the magician who leads the undead against Morlac was scary.
Definitely a wonderful read.
Aggie & Agent X
This is a book that I have a special fondness for because I dressed up like Aggie for a talent show. It was so much fun. The book is a science fiction mystery genre bender.
Aggie is a CIA agent who is beginning her spy journey when she is teamed up with Agent X. It is surprising for her to learn of his many secret powers and his Top Secret origins.
Really a fun book.
Enjoy!
