In author Brian Wilkerson's new book, Mana Mutation Menace: Journey to Chaos, Book Three, his readers will again return to the world of Tariatla and the life of lead character Eric Wately. Eric has recovered from the mana mutation, but he finds himself a very changed man. Still appearing human on the outside, he sometimes feels the dark monster lurking within him, and sometimes he doesn't know if he has the ability to control that monster. He's got a lot to prove to the leaders of Tariatla; the Mana Mutation summit is coming up, and the whole world will be waiting to see if Eric is truly recovered and the hope for all citizens, or just another monster that should be destroyed. Even if he can prove his humanity to that group, he's still amassed a number of enemies that would like nothing more than for him to be dead.

Author Brian Wilkerson has done a great job in creating characters that, while definitely fantasy based, are also characters that his readers will be able to relate to and connect with, truly the feat of a great author.

Journey to Chaos Book 3: Mana Mutation Menace by Brian Wilkerson is an epic tale. The story is a mixture of science and magic. There are a lot of very complicated concepts here and I strongly recommend that new readers start with the first book in the series. I didn’t so at times I felt a little lost. But with that said, I still thoroughly enjoyed this book. Eric Watley is a character I could relate to in a strange sort of way as he figures out who he is, what he can do and what is really important to him. I like his love interest, Kallen Selios, too and watching them figure out who they really are is part of the fun of Mana Mutation Menace. I’m a sucker for medieval type societies and I love science fiction and Brian Wilkerson cooks up an original weird mixture of both here. This world has balance. Everything in it is made of mana or chaos. This results in some very complex and convoluted metaphysics at times.

I’m going back to read the first two books in the series to catch up with all that’s happened to Eric and Kallen before, but that’s just me. You can definitely enjoy this Brian Wilkerson tale as a fun, action packed stand-alone novel. The characters are complex. Their goals are complicated and sometimes the lines between good and evil, monster and human, are crossed. A good world to dive into when you have the time. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Can anyone recover from Mana Mutation and still be what they used to be, with their humanity and faculties intact? Eric Watley is a “revenant,” one who happens to recover from the dreaded “mana mutation,” and while he looks forward to proving that he is truly human, there is a horde of enemies who will not rest until they see him eliminated. Those who could stand up for him are unable to accept that his mind hasn’t been indefinitely soiled and altered by evil. While Watley tries to figure out how to convince everyone that he is sane, the insidious Ordercraft prince is determined to use the mutation as a powerful weapon against humanity. Eric Watley could be the only hope of redemption for humanity. Will he succeed in proving his humanity and saving his own life, and will he have time enough to do it before his old enemies take him down? Mana Mutation Menace (Journey to Chaos Book 3) by Brian Wilkerson is a thrilling read, one that will set readers’ pulses racing.

Wilkerson’s ability to create neologisms that are appealing and suggestive of a world readers would want to inhabit is fascinating. Gifted with a rare imagination, the author creates compelling characters, creatures that could have human virtues, and puts them into a story that is as riveting as it is compelling. The language is beautiful, the pace hyper fast, and the conflict propels the story forward through sudden and unusual twists and turns that make it more gripping. Fans of Lord of the Rings and other fantasy tales will find Wilkerson’s characters interesting. In Mana Mutation Menace (Journey to Chaos Book 3) this author establishes himself as a highly creative and masterful storyteller.
