review 1: 4.5/5 STARSBook 0.5 of the "Seven Wonders" series. And I can say that there's something about "The Select" that draws me to reading that series further.Something about that journal and the adventure it has told of Mr Burton Friedrich Wenders. I want to know know what happened to him.So many questions kept rustling in my head, like what's the ancient disease, the island, and those crazy priests that were chasing Burton, that I believed will be answered by the foregoing books. This novella is a great start for the series. Cant wait to scan the pages and set out to the adventurous stories it will unfold.
review 2: An exciting short story that preludes the Seven Wonders series, The Select is all about archeological adventure. Think Indiana Jones meets Percy Jackson... more (in fact, with the complimentary Rick Riordan cover blurb, it's no doubt). Burt Wenders is a young boy who finds himself a castaway on a seemingly dangerous island. What we are yet to find out is why the Islanders need this boy so much, and why Burt can understand a myriad of languages that others simply cannot. Also, magic talisman? Peter Larangis' writing is suburb swashbuckling storytelling, and this was a fun, quick and quite entertaining read. Very much furthered my interest in this series. less
