Product Description
Review
"On Seeker, published in 2005, the Guardian wrote: 'a timeless piece of storytelling'. TES wrote: 'an original, inventive story, cleverly plotted and full of interesting characters.' The Bookseller said: 'Seeker (is) an elegantly written story set in a distant past but with everything to say to today's readers.' The Daily Telegraph said'..an engrossing and thoughtful adventure story that held my attention from beginning to end.'"
Product Description
Seeker, Morning Star and the Wild Man return in this mesmerising sequel to "Seeker". In "Jango", the friends discover that the mysterious warrior sect they had been so desperate to join is not quite what it appears from the outside. Disillusioned they leave to find their own way in the world. But now at least they have acquired the remarkable physical skills of the Nomana...and they are certainly going to need them: the mighty warlord of the Orlan nation is gathering forces and has vowed to destroy Anacrea - and all who come in his path.

Format:Hardcover
The second book in a trilogy is usually the most anticipated and can therefore leave the reader feeling a little disappointed if it doesn't quite meet the expectation of the first.
The expectation with Jango is that the seamlessness of the characters' tales will continue and it is here that the reader needs an open mind for Nicholson has torn the story open and sent the characters on a different path. Their lives are thrown into disarray as new and more powerful threats to their existence arrive. The evil empire of Radiance under a new leader still seek to destroy the Noma and with the apparent allegiance of a mighty warlord the Nomana are in more danger than ever before.
Seeker, Morning Star and the Wildman must contend with questions over their existence and purpose in life when doubts creep in about their belief in everything they lived for.
New and fleeting characters appear in the book, Echo Kittle a girl from a forest who needs help defending her people and the curious Jango himself. It is Jango who is the most intriguing for his appearance suggests a twist in the story for which we will have to wait until the third book comes out to discover.
My only disappointment with this is Morning Star and the Wildman not featuring enough. A small point but worth noting.
Overall, an excellent book and Nicholson proves what a heavyweight he is in childrens' fantasy fiction.

Format:Paperback
FYI: This is Book 2 of THE NOBLE WARRIORS series, and therefore a sequel to SEEKER. If you don't want the end of SEEKER spoiled for you, STOP! If that's not a concern, I invite you back to Anacrea.
Seeker, Morning Star, and Wildman are with the Nomana, training to be Noble Warriors themselves. It's been nine months and they are about to face the most difficult test in their training so far. On their first day of the new lessons, Wildman does the unthinkable, and must be banished from the Nom. Seeker worries that he too will be sent away, due to the deal he made to get Wildman into training in the first place. Morning Star is despondent at the loss of her friend.
Meanwhile, a new threat is approaching Anacrea, and destroying everything and everyone that gets in its way. When the new threat joins forces with the old, what will become of Anacrea? And where does that leave the Nomana?
For the first time the Nom is divided. How far should they and will they go to protect the people of Anacrea and their home? And now that Seeker seems to have acquired limitless power, what should be done about him? How much power is too much?
This may seem like a pretty vague description of the story, but I don't want to give too much away. The book starts out fast and full, and keeps right on going. It's a fast read, but only because so much keeps happening that you don't want to put it down! So much changes for the three friends, but that's part of growing up. Not only does this book progress well through time and characters, it sucks you further into its universe. Almost to the point where when you come up for air you're surprised to find yourself surrounded by the world you usually live in. If the books keep going like this... Let's just say I can't wait to read the next one!
