    I loved this book! The story line kept me interested right up through the ending.

    I found myself annoyed by anyone trying to start a conversation with me while deeply entrenched in reading. The vocabulary is refreshing, and some of the concepts discussed betweeen the father and son left me nodding in agreement. It's a great marriage of adventure and science fiction without going too heavy in either direction. It could have used some proofreading corrections, but very enjoyable over all.

    Book Review: Quest of the Shadow-Forge is a fantasy adventure novel about a 12 year old boy who uncovers the secrets of his life force connections within the fabric of the universe. It presents the magic of the universe through the eyes of a child.

    A fantasy novel about an adolescent with ADHD and a transcendent destiny. Andrew is a precocious 12-year-old who enjoys wandering through the forest near his home. He contemplates almost everything, from the galactic ballet of space to the bucolic setting comfortably outside his doorstep. Endlessly intrigued by the flora and fauna of the forest, Andrew's curious mind leapfrogs from thought to thought; a behavior reflective of his condition. One of his favorite pastimes is fleshing out his imaginary interplanetary space opera. The story thus far is about two planets: Glorthocks and DeMutron. Glorthocks is a peaceful planet balanced politically and ecologically. Populated by plants, Glortheon society lives in relative harmony compared with the warlike DeMutrons. The DeMutrons (apparently a portmanteau of 'demons' and 'monsters') is anentomological planet that churns through its resources because of its protracted interinsectoid wars. In constant and desperate need of resources,
    DeMutron has hitched itself to the placid Glorthocks. Andrew considers his story only a fanciful diversion until a revelatory encounter with atranscendental entity named Harmony. Harmony knows there are chapters yet to be written-and that Andrew's story is not so imaginary. Theentity teaches him to travel across space and time, inspiring him to forge the destiny of Glorthocks and DeMutron. It's heady stuff to be sure.
    Although the character is a youth, most of the philosophical discussions between Andrew and his cosmic counterparts are pure philosophical exposition and might not appeal to the young. A plethora of concepts often bog down the fluid moments in the narrative, but there are quirksand charms to spare. Ancillary to the text is a generous hit list of Moody Blues songs to play with each chapter. There is even some stupendousmeta-marketing, as Andrew's father has written a book with the precise title of Bauer's previous effort, The Evolutioning of Creation (2004).
    The book is often unwieldy and a little weird, but overall it's good fun with a message of hope. The title of the second chapter says it all-it'sa ponderous revelation.

    For fans of eccentric fiction.

    Quest of the Shadow-Forge

    I found this story to be delightful and imaginative. I was captivated by the appearance of the alien, Harmony. I'm sure she was like some force of nature come to life to heal the universe. I was really able to identify with the main character, and felt I had traveled with him to another planet. I especially liked the little Pooncha, because it remined me of a Pokemon. I enjoyed trying to follow the clues to discover what he was supposed to do to save the universe. In the end, I wanted to re-read it and see what I may have missed.
