“Those were the darkest of ages, when ‘once upon a time’ was a forbidden phrase and fact the only legal tender....”

Exciting fantasy tale of triumph over evil

Mark David Gerson’s, The MoonQuest, is an exciting fantasy tale of triumph over evil. The audiobook takes us on Toshar’s hero’s journey where he and his three companions must face fierce and terrifying tests on their way to find Castle Rose, where they will fight to restore the rightful King Kyri to rule over Q’ntana.

Moving through many disparate lands, we meet fantastical creatures who help the young band of rebels travel the land of Q’ntana while running from the unrelenting chase of the Black Shirt soldiers who serve the evil King. The story takes on many emotional highs and lows as we discover the horrible crimes done to the characters by the oppressive rulers, and how they overcame these heinous acts to eventually triumph over darkness.

Ultimately a tale of deep trust, facing fears and learning to work together for the completion of the mission- to restore the Moon to Q’ntana, and beneficent rule to the kingdom, The MoonQuest is entertaining and moving. Mark David Gerson’s reading of his own story is especially powerful, as you can feel the characters coming alive in a way that only the author himself can convey.

I highly recommend The MoonQuest audiobook to anyone who wants enjoy an inspirational fantasy tale that keeps you on the edge of your seat! And don’t despair when it’s over - Gerson has four more books in this series, to keep the tale going!

Beautiful language! Enthralling story!

Imagine a time when storytelling is against the law. And storytellers are hunted down and killed. Put the setting in a fantasy with prose-like language, a passionate author reading his own work, and you have the perfect story. Gerson’s book is an enthralling metaphor for an age of book-burning suppression. Well worth the listen!
