I read the whole thing in one night! The plot is consistent and keeps the reader on their toes throughout the story. TennisGuy1 reviewed Alliance of the Quad: Curse of the Cubecricon: Volume 2A great sequal to the first book and it didn't take that long to read. It's similar to the first book but layers in more action and mystery. This five-book series is primarily written for a middle school and young teen audience, however adults seem to like it as well. My youngest reader is 9 years old and my oldest is 87. I invite you to read this adventure and enjoy the ride. It is packed with adventure, suspense, surprise, and fun. Lessons are learned about liberty, freedom and decision making. Sometimes we can never recover from the bad decisions we make. The books are age appropriate for content and language.

Because I couldn't read very well, I gravitated to learning numbers and equations. Eventually finding my niche with engineering. I excelled, graduating with a bachelor's degree in Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering. I finished my education with an MBA in Sales and Marketing. My reading skills never got better; I was a stranger to books. Finally, in my adult life I found the patience to read books like The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings by J. R. Tolkein, Centennial by James Michener and other books. It was slow reading but I thoroughly enjoyed the books. My son sent me a couple of screen plays he had written. After reading them I got interested in the art of screen writing. I went to the book store and bought some books on how to write screen plays and my writing career took off. I wrote a screen play called Alliance of the Quad. I took it to a Screenwriter's Convention in Hollywood, and was told the ideas in the screen play were unique, interesting, and would make a terrific movie. However, the movie would quite expensive so I would have to create an audience before a movie could be made. I needed the write the books. I went back to the book store and bought some books on how to write books. I began the journey that eventually created the five-book series, Alliance of the Quad. Now I want to inspire young readers. The ones that can read well, but more importantly the ones who struggle with reading. The Alliance of the Quad is a book series that is mesmerizing and captivating. The young reader will get swept up into the story quickly and be transported to far away places and distant times as they read. They will learn how magical, captivating, and mesmerizing reading can be. My ultimate hope is that I can invite, motivate, encourage, inspire, and transport the young and old into a world of magic, time travel and excitement. At the same time imprint the values and importance of reading in their lives.
