                                <p>Countless years ago, measured in thousands, the Gods came first. Monstrous creations were born of their frivolity. Like the Gods, some of the creations were peaceful, others not. Their duty to preserve the earth completed once more, however, the day came that the Gods had to leave earth. Unleashed and with loose regulation, the abominable creations left behind multiplied. In their midst, another conception came to be, and his kind would exist absolutely outside of the God’s purview.<br />Unmated, alone, and untrusting of others, Chatran was charged to go to a place and protect the father of a great child, yet unborn. This duty, however, was unknown to the most cognizant part of Chatran. Only the Beast, who resided within him, knew. As a result, the Beast led Chatran to Walhalla, North Dakota. Although his initial charge was to protect the father he found there, Chatran also gained a mate and Pack.

                        Delays at airports can lead to books being written.  I picked up a National Geographic when I was delayed and it led to the plot for The Pirates of Aden.

                        <span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:small;">Rasic catches the reader with an enthralling opening chapter focusing on a governmental interrogation that immediately has you racing to the next page. He owns you at this point and you'll find it very difficult to put the book down...I certainly did! Shifting gears to several years later in a a port city in Somalia, you are introduced to a series of intriguing and well-developed characters woven into the start of an equally well-developed plot. You'll find yourself endeared to Sami and his plight, all the while knowing what he does is inherently wrong. This might be expected as the pirates are portrayed as real people amidst their own struggle. What you're not expecting is the complexity of what takes place next. The book focuses on Dr. Paul Alban, a physician and US governmental operative who is trying to put his past experiences behind him. As the plot unfolds, it becomes clear that this won't be easy. Paul's past connection to Kadar Hadad brings a personal flavor to the plot and is essential in his character development. The reader is presented with his tortured past not only through his workings with the government, but in his family relationships as well. You can really sense his inner struggle with guilt involving his occupation, family, relationship with Ellen and feeling of responsibility for the death of a friend. Behind every character is another story and within every story is another twist which will keep you guessing the whole way through. Rasic writes an exciting novel and clearly has the ability to keep you wanting more. This novel moves at a frantic pace at times, but he never loses control of each character as a believable part of the story. His style and approach is something I would expect from a more seasoned writer, but his vision on this debut novel displays his creativity and ability as a novelist. The Pirates of Aden is captivating and pure entertainment! This book is an impressive first novel by any account I will now wait impatiently to a follow-up effort! </span><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height:normal;font-size:small;">-Robert Berger, Spring Hill FL</span></span></div>
