Dane Thorburn and Nature's Revenge
Dane Thorburn and Nature's Revenge is the third installment in Matt Galanos's Australian fantasy series, sending Dane and his companions against four mythical creatures threatening the land of Valentaland with destruction and mayhem. Galanos writes with pace β the action-adventure energy that makes reluctant readers turn pages is the series' clearest strength, and that cross-age appeal from tweens to adult fantasy fans is a genuine asset. Literary Titan's positive review of the fourth book and the series' Australian press coverage suggest a growing readership. The honest caveats: this is self-published work, and without traditional editorial polish the prose may be rough in places. This is also the third book in a series β readers will want to start at the beginning for full context. A fun, fast fantasy for adventure-hungry readers.
