Beyond the Summerland by L. B. Graham

Back Cover: It was foretold after Malek’s first fall that twice more he would bring war, and that the last time, the very waters of the sea would obey him and fight for him. If this be so, then I cannot imagine how Sulare will escape his wrath….

Editor’s Review:  I read this book many years ago and really enjoyed it, probably because I identified easily with the protagonist.  The plot is interesting, and the story world that L. B. Graham creates is engrossing as well.

Graham’s writing needs some work, but since this is his first novel, that is often to be expected.  The other issue I have with the book was one of the big surprises, but I will not post it here because it is a big spoiler.  Perhaps it would make a good discussion for a forum post.

Overall I definitely recommend this book, and the series as well, especially for younger readers.  It is a great story and the Christian allegory is a blessing as well.
