For Cyrus, his life once the country is free from war is not what he had hoped and expected. Rather, he finds himself bored and looking for a new adventure. Being captured as a slave, spending his time fighting in wars for someone else’s pride, and even finding the woman he’s dreamed of were definitely not his expectations of the new adventure, but all of that and a whole lot more are waiting for him as he travels throughout the country. And just maybe, he’ll find some even bigger surprises and adventures along the way, enough to satiate him for a lifetime in The Slave Boy by Murray Lee Eiland Jr.

If you’re looking for a book that’s full of adventure, then you’re definitely going to like The Slave Boy. This book is full of all kinds of adventure and all kinds of intrigue at the same time. Cyrus, Rama, Balik, Sharmilla and all the rest are characters that you’ll want to read more about (and you can because there are plenty of other books about them). There’s just the right hint of romance going on and there’s plenty of everything else. You won’t get bored (even if you’re not into romance) and you definitely won’t have a problem finishing this book. I didn’t want to stop reading it once I started and neither will you. This is one book I will be recommending to others I know who like a lot of adventure and action.

In Murray Lee Eiland Jr.'s new book, The Slave Boy: The Orfeo Saga volume 6, readers will enjoy the continuing saga of Cyrus, a man bored with his easy life after spending many of his recent years as a merchant and a spy.

Together with them, they end up on various exciting missions, including one that just might save many people from the horrors of war.

The Slave Boy is a highly engaging read that will keep readers obsessively turning the pages from the start all the way through until the very end, many times from the edge of their seats! Author Murray Lee Eiland, Jr. has done a good job in creating characters that his readers will connect with and relate to, not an easy feat in such an adventurous read and in so many exotic settings.
