Description

<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. With them, Chatran also found a new way forward, and started on a course that would lead to – New Alpha Rising: Ascension.</p>

Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:small;">Loretta Gilbert (editor) The description of this novel as the story of a madman who escapes from prison and the ensuing chase to catch him doesn't begin to explain the character development that comes to life through the story of Caleb in V.J. Bowen's amazing book Evil Unleashed (Mind of a Madman).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:small;">Through his escape to freedom and hiding on isolated farms, Caleb is shown to be a madman bringing death and destruction wherever he goes. However, as the novel progresses, the author shows that there is more to this madman than first meets the eye. With glimpses to his past illustrating his intense jealously of his twin brother and the internal dialogue of his struggles to control himself, the reader is gently pulled toward feeling compassion and caring for this madman.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:small;">Toward the end of the novel especially, Caleb forms an attachment to a wolf pup and here is where the author really tugs at the reader's imagination, bringing into focus the reality that there is good and evil in everyone.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:small;">In addition, other characters in the novel such as the law enforcement officer chasing Caleb, Michael, and his canine partner, Sasha, bring in a compelling parallel story of friendship and determination.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:small;">I really enjoyed this novel and highly recommend it to those who enjoy crime novels as well as psychological thrillers. It is a story about a madman, so the protagonist is unconventional, but this only adds to the story's intensity.</span>
