Fantasy at it's best

This was a journey worth taking. From the first page of this book I was drawn into a well crafted fantasy world, believable enough to be truly compelling. I wait impatiently for a sequel.

Outstanding First Novel

I usually don't enjoy fantasy. But Kevin Howe's debut novel is far different and more exciting than any kind of fantasy I've ever read. A real page turner. How would you desribe it? Perhaps a cross between "Lord of the Rings" and the movie "The Usual Suspects". Stop reading this review and pick it up today!!!!

Vivid, frightening, and filled with challenges

Set in a sleepy, oft-overlooked medieval village, Bone Walk: The Journey Of Thomas Shepard is the story of a warehouse keeper who sees terrible things happen around him due to an ancient book that has fallen into the hands of the counselor to the high lord. In order to learn the true nature of the deadly curse that has befallen his home, Thomas Shepard must journey with two companions into the forbidding Western Wood. Vivid, frightening, and filled with challenges to the human spirit Bone Walk is a fascinating, unforgettable, highly recommended debut novel by an obviously skilled and talented writer.

His characters such as the Tree Walkers and Bone Eaters are straight from a creative mind. Tension explodes from the very first page, and the reader is able to become familiar with the conflict between the characters. Main character, Thomas Shepard is a reserved warehouse keeper in a small, overlooked medieval village. His life changes when beautiful mysterious things start to emerge in his village, and at the same time as villagers vanish or end up dead. Thrilling suspense engulfs each page as the reader learns of a book that is hard to decipher and that the book has landed in the hands of BONE WALK?S villain, Varden. Varden is the high Lord?s counsel, annoyed by the incompetence of three previous messengers.Immediately, he influences his master into choosing Thomas Shepard as the next man to enter the Western Wood, where danger lurks, and he is to bring back answers that will ultimately decide what happens to his village. Thomas and two dubious cohorts do just as they are told and head toward the Western Wood, and soon find themselves surrounded by danger, and the unknown, which in the end leads to horror.What will happen to Thomas?s village? Does he find the answers he is sent to search for?Kevin Howe?s book is one I will never forget. His plot-driven characters and down-to-earth dialogue enhances the storyline, giving the reader a more pleasurable fantasy read.Mr. Howe lives in Iowa with his wife and two daughters. Reading books and storytelling is a few of this corporate attorney?s passions. He is currently writing the sequel to BONE WALK.I highly recommend Kevin Howe?s gripping book BONE WALK.--Reviewed by Jennifer LB Leese...

Bonewalk is bonechilling

I could not put the book down. My imagination could not keep up with the twists and surprises at every turn. Kevin engages the reader and continues to move to a new level just when you think it could not get more frightening. I loved the book and have recommended it everyone.
