At the height of the Second World War, seeking an opportunity to gain some technological advancement to put them on an even footing with their Nazi partners, the country’s best scientists embark on a series of experiments to harness the strange gifts from a mysterious alien vessel that crashed in the country nine years before. Disaster strikes and their experiment goes awry. They shut down the project, unaware that their activities had opened a portal to another dimension. Those actions come back to haunt them as the fate of a distant world hangs in the balance in Ess-Jee Rautenbach’s Avatars Of Destiny: The Quest For Reality’s Edge.
Ess-Jee Rautenbach crafts a detailed world with clearly defined regions sporting unique characteristics and a strange mix of creatures ranging from monsters to individuals with futuristic augmentations. The narrative flows smoothly, complementing well-crafted origin stories. The author's storytelling style weaves seemingly unconnected subplots into a fluid, exciting, engaging adventure. The standout element of Avatars Of Destiny is that Rautenbach includes a summary and reflection section strategically placed after each chapter. Here, readers get a better understanding of character motivations, an introduction to new characters, and an interactive subsection where the author asks them what they would do if they were in these problematic scenarios. Rautenbach combines beautiful images, vivid combat scenes, and unique storytelling to transform Avatars Of Destiny into a one-of-a-kind blend of fantasy and science fiction in a class of its own.
