FIVE STARS - A must read By Catherine Grainger on September 6, 2015 Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase Hero: The Beginning by Jason Zandri At any moment, any tiny, seemingly insignificant event can, and often does, change our life forever. How we react and deal with the consequences of that event, is what develops, and defines our character. Author Jason Zandri uses his amazing writing talent to help us understand that reality in this first book of what is certainly going to be a phenomenal series. Hero: The Beginning is more than just a science fiction, supernatural suspense story, but also a philosophical journey not just for main character Nathan, but for every reader as well. Like each of us, Nathan is an ordinary person, living his life as best he can. But, like each of us, he must one day make a choice, to become the person he was meant to be (whether he likes it or not) or to ignore his conscience and forever change the direction of his life path, and that of everyone around him.
An everyday man, living less than ordinary life in New York City, simply makes his way about his work life and one at home. A kind heart and an empathetic soul, who tended to think of others before he thought of himself.
With his childhood totally left behind and gone with the final resting of his father, Nathan has come to terms with his past as he forges his life in the present, unaware of what lies ahead.
An unlikely friendship, a random act of violence, a budding romance, all part of a life changed.
“When it’s your time, there’s nothing you can do to change that outcome. The only thing you can do is meet it head on. You have to hope that the life you had with others, while you were here, has made a positive impact.” – Brian Devron
“Where there is darkness, you are light. Where others know fear, you will be brave. When there are setbacks, you will persevere. Where others find weakness, you bring strength. Where there is despair, you are hope. Where cowardice falls, you rise courageously. Where others do not have the ability to believe, you have faith. You will suffer, so that others will endure. You will triumph where others would fall." - Cici Johnson
“This is it; it all changes tonight. Anything I do tonight, at a minimum, is going to at least expose all of this to the world." - Nathan Devron.

A fantastic story!, September 8, 2015
http://www.amazon.com/review/R3469IC362ZZAS/
We have all grown up with superheroes such as Superman and Batman and they’ll always have a special place in our hearts but it’s definitely time to introduce another superhero: His name is Nathan and he’s the perfect man for the job! He has the right personality to take on the many challenges of a superhero and his attitude and personality will appeal to people of all ages. I really enjoyed this book and it was difficult to put down. The whole story is very cleverly constructed and I liked the way Nathan has an array of different super powers which makes his character all the more fascinating. I honestly think this author has done a wonderful job of portraying the depth and scope of the protagonist as well as the supporting characters and it was nice to see the author introduce characters such as Lisa in a subtle way to allow for more scope later in the series. I also wanted to comment on this author’s writing style. This book is obviously written by an intelligent person who knows how to cleverly describe a variety of emotions on every page within a very well-constructed plot. At the same time, the book is written in a language even young adolescents would enjoy. I also really liked how the author complemented his writing style with the clever introduction of the Greek gods at different stages in the story. The appearance of these gods and their conversations really were a joy to read. On a final note, I believe this book should definitely be made into a movie because it would be very popular and it has all the key elements of a great superhero story.

If an author ever wants to stand out in a major way, they should take a few notes from the style of Jason Zandri, who has clearly mastered the art of creative storytelling in a genre that is still evolving and growing in modern literature. The superhero and supernatural themes have been beaten mercilessly by Hollywood and television as of late, and while certain series have dealt with vampires, werewolves, and wizards to great acclaim, good old-fashioned hero literature hasn't had as large of a presence.
In Zandri's series, which has limitless potential, in my opinion, as Nathan has proven throughout the course of this book to be a deeply complex and fascinating person. The author truly digs into what it means to be given something that no one else possesses, and explores the weight of responsibility, both for those with powers and those without. This book may require a significant suspension of disbelief, but there are real issues here, social commentaries and personal discoveries. This is more than just an action-packed superhero book with a final boss battle at the end.... this is a thoughtful and beautifully constructed world that we have only just begun to explore. I Hero is a Hit!
The first instalment of The Tales of Bowen unfolds a mesmerizing anthology of narratives intricately woven together by a grand overarching storyline, set against the enchanting backdrop of the mystical realms of Dagonfell.
