What teenager doesn't dream of getting away - longing for more in life than what the small town has to offer? In the novel "Fortuna's Bastard" by David S. Wellhauser we follow Matt Feargal through his numerous adventures that lead from reality to something completely different. I liked Matt's character from the get-go. Then again all of the characters are well developed. The book is well-written with easy flowing dialog and scenes. I forgot several times I was reading a sci-fi novel because the story is simply that gripping with intricately placed twists.I happily give this book 4 out of 5 stars. I believe the point could have been made with less pages but it's all in the reader's taste. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series. This author has a true gift for literature - which is refreshing in this day of (not always high quality content) self publishing individuals. If you're looking for a series completely different from anything on the market today, I suggest you start with "Fortuna's Bastard"!
