"Any book that destroys an iconic landmark within the first 20 pages has to be a good read."Actaeon 9 - Abduction is a gripping novel that follows the story of 14-year-old Hunter Smith and his friends as they are taken from their lives on Earth and sold into slavery on an alien planet. Action, adventure, tragedy, and love fill Hunter's new and brutal existence. With a hint of fantasy, this debut novel puts a fresh spin on the classic science fiction story. It is written with a "realness" that draws readers in and won't let them go. Set in the not-too-distant future, it is a story that can be relevant for any reader. The end of this book is not only satisfying and hopeful but will have you begging for book 2.
