Product Description
Product Description
NEBADOR - the incredible journey of five young adults from poverty and oppression to respected citizenship in the wide universe ... This epic young-adult science fiction adventure continues as Ilika and his nine students make their way through the countryside as he teaches them. Tested by needy people, burned by steam, pounded by the ocean at high tide, and attacked by wild animals, they must find reserves of courage they didn't know they had. A disaster threatens to end their journey when it catches them in three separate groups. They all come to the first mountain pass transformed, hardly recognizing the people they once were. - BOOK TWO: JOURNEY is the second book in the NEBADOR series of twelve or more novels. These stories are filled with wit-sharpening and skill-honing challenges - mental, emotional, and spiritual - for both the characters and the reader. - This is the HARDCOVER GLOBAL/LIBRARY edition in 10-point type.

About the Author
Born in the Mojave Desert, J. Z. Colby now lives and writes deep in a forest of the Pacific Northwest. He has studied many subjects, formally and informally, including psychology, philosophy, education, and performing arts, but remains a generalist. His primary profession as a mental health counselor, specializing with families and young adults, gives him many stories of personal growth, and the motivation to develop his team of young critiquers and readers. All his life, he has been drawn toward a broad understanding of human nature, especially those physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual situations in which our capacity to function seems to reach its limits. He finds fascinating those few individuals who can transcend the limits of our common human nature and the dictates of our cultures. In his spare time, he flies helicopters and airplanes.

The JOURNEY Continues!
27 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback
If I have to make one complaint about this series, it has to be the fact it wasn't out ten years ago! It combines everything a young adult such as myself ten years ago would've wanted in a series; adventure and a survivalist journey, action and sci-fi elements, examples of human kindness and human cruelty, a simple medieval setting with a touch of romance! What's not to love?
After presenting such an original and absorbing story in the first novel of the Nebador series, a reader has to wonder if J.Z. Colby would be able to repeat this feat in Journey. Or would Book Two follow the same fate as many series and take a sudden downward spiral in the second novel? Well, I'm happy to report that no, Journey was not disappointing, and was packed with perhaps twice the excitement of its predecessor. Now that Ilika and his students no longer reside in the relative safety of a town inn, they're exposed to all the troubles the great outdoors has in store for them, from prowling thieves and superstitious rural peasants to rabid wolves and the occasional roaring forest fire!
If you enjoyed the first novel in the series, I'd definitely recommend you run out and grab yourself a copy of Journey, you won't be disappointed. Journey was no easier to put down than The Test.
The technology or "magic" which we were only exposed to hints of in Book One is finally being revealed in the sequel, though not to an extent that we're fully relieved of our curiosity for the mysterious devices. After all, if you know everything the world isn't nearly as exciting.
Alas, questions the first book left us with are not all yet answered. Where IS this mysterious ship anyway? What is it? Two novels in and I'm still not sure if Ilika is actually leading them anywhere towards the ship or if he's just taking his students on a countryside tour.
And talking about students, the agony of waiting for the pick is pure torture! I have two narrowed down that I personally think will be eliminated, but I wouldn't be surprised if my assumption is totally wrong. I may have been the only person in history that didn't guess the ending of Sixth Sense until it was totally laid out for us after all.
I'll leave this review on one last note...what are those sneaky priests up to?
