Adventurers Wanted, Volume 3: Albrek's Tomb Description
Two thousand years ago, the dwarf Albrek went looking for new mines in the land of Thraxon in the hopes of becoming rich. No one knows if he ever succeeded, though, as all trace of Albrek and his followers simply vanished from history. Now, however, the dwarves must find the magical talisman that Albrek carried with him before their mines run dry, which would threaten the livelihood of the entire dwarf realm. And so the newly named wizard Alexander Taylor joins a familiar company of adventurers on a quest to discover what happened to Albrek, find his mythical tomb, and locate the lost talisman.
Discovering Albrek’s fate, however, may be the least of the adventurers’ problems when they cross paths with an ancient, wandering paladin who has a taste for confrontation and a paranoid belief that some great evil is working in all of the known lands. Alex and his friends must travel through the shadow of an empty oracle’s tower, where a whispered legend is about to come true, and strike out for the distant parts of Thraxon that are only spoken of in old tales and half-forgotten myths. Join Alex and his brave companions on an adventure that will test their courage beyond their limits.

I just found this series two weeks ago, and have already fallen in love! Forman does an astounding job of portraying his characters and their growth. Alex began the series unsure of himself, and feeling as though he were either dreaming, or that everyone was seeing him as something much greater than he believed he was. Over time his character advances and he becomes more sure of himself and his capabilities. Instead of a book summary, I would prefer to point out just how amazingly Forman has shown and developed his characters, as well as developing unbelievable storylines that draw in any reader who is a fan of the idea of character growth, the idea of the quest, the actual vividness of an adventure that can lead to daydreaming [and just plain dreaming!], or all of the above. Forman has managed to create a world of his own, a feat not to be taken lightly. I have found that more often than not, current fantasy writers have begun to bring vulgarity and illicit thoughts into their writing as a cheap substitute for real depth and draw, there is no vulgarity nor illicit thought in Forman's books. In this series I see a world of adventures and concepts that could spread into a worldwide rave, such as LOTR or Harry Potter, or Fablehaven. One of my favorite authors, Brian Jaques [may he rest in peace] wrote in a way that not many people do write in, his series of Redwall was based on animal characters, with human traits; a concept I found quite interesting. I believe that Forman may have found a rebirth of a concept in this series, a way to write entirely new concepts in an old genre, and I am thrilled to have read the books. It was the type of book you can't put down, no matter what.
