New release! Betrayed, Book 2 of The Turner Chronicles by Mark Eller
The War is over. Isabella has won, and the Talent Master is dead. Aaron Turner now lives in N’Ark, Isabella’s capital, where he mourns his murdered wife and son. All he wants is to tip a bottle, stare at walls, and recover.
But they won’t leave him alone.
The Isabellan government and slavers both want him dead. Savages look to him as their prophesied savior. His lawyer wants to control him. His neighbors and friends have been murdered, and a once dead shaman declares him a servant of her One God.
Aaron has to make things right. His honor demands it.
Dusting off his guns, he sets aside his grief, readies his Talent, and declares a one man war against a nation that has betrayed him, the Clan, and itself.

Off to re-listen to Book 1, until it all falls into place again. I remember really enjoying the story, but that’s about all I remember!

This is one great book, completely engrossing, enjoyable and highly suspenseful and I am really enjoying it.

I’m so happy to see this story continue! There was a lot about Jefferson that I didn’t remember from the first story so the reveal at the end was a genuine surprise. It’s hard to sum up why Aaron Turner is a great character.

Holy crap! I was hoping against hope there would be a sequel to this story but after more than a year (or probably longer) with nothing materialising, I had more or less given up hope. It is stories and authors like this that make this site so worthwhile (and of course all the work behind the scenes by Evo and co.) I won’t ramble on, but simply offer my thanks for your hard work, dedication and generosity in offering it. I just love these little treasures that can be found on this site, like little gems of wonder that whisk you away to blissfull distraction. Lovely little talent stones… if you will.

Aaron is a flawed, and reluctant hero. A guy that you can’t help but like and find yourself smacking your head at his obtuseness sometimes.
Mark Eller adds definition to Aaron Turner and expands his world a bit in this installment. This book is less about his ability to transfer to a different world and more about what he does with the knowledge he brought over from the old to the new world.
I’ve personally enjoyed listening to the podcast version of this book. I *highly* suggest that you read or listen to Traitor first to get an idea of who Aaron Turner is and the world that he came from.
