Description
Preston always believed that multiple sclerosis sealed his fate; His destiny is forever changed when he’s hit in the face with an Oxragonian war hammer.
Follow Preston Maki as he falls through a dimensional rift into the medieval-like world of Oswella. Confused for a mercenary commander, Preston must play the part while struggling to make sense of the new world around him.
Along the way, three additional characters set out on their own quests across the Isolated Isles. The four journeys weave together, pulling you into an adventure full of mystery, intrigue, revenge, and humor; all while the future of the universe hangs in the balance.
Written by husband-and-wife duo, Mark & Sarah Kadoshnikov, this debut fantasy/science fiction book combines their love for adventure, faith, history as well as their personal experience with auto-immune disease. Enhanced with educational footnotes and framed within a Christian world-view, The Respian Man is not only wildly entertaining, but also nourishing for the mind and soul.
Four perspectives. Two worlds. One epic adventure.

Imagine if you could live hundreds of years, be physically healed by oxygen surrounding you or have time periodically stop-freezing your environment but you remain mobile and aware. The catch is you leave everyone and everything you know behind you. Would you do it? What if you haven't a choice?
THE RESPIAN MAN is a science fiction/fantasy novel that takes the reader to another world, where it seems miracles can occur. Preston is out in the woods checking on his treehouse when he looses hid compass, ends up in a cave and finally finds himself viewing a battle. Of course, he has always been interested in historic battles, being physically limited. As he is walking around observing everything, chaos erupts around him and he awakens in an infirmary. Soon he finds himself within the inner circles of the war itself. I enjoyed reading the story and finding the added imagery of men and women being virtually the same while retaining a few differences interesting. At times the story does drag on but it is worth reading. I didn't care for the ending as it wasn't really an ending to me, merely a cliffhanger for the next book. Also, I appreciated having some explanations at the end of the story. If you like science fiction and fantasy, mixed with a little reality you should read this.

I found "The Respian Man" to be a delightful read. Its intriguing storyline, blending humor and adventure seamlessly, kept me thoroughly engaged. The world-building is truly remarkable, with added depth from its philosophical themes. The characters are convincingly portrayed and easy to connect with, enhancing the immersive experience. While at times the pace felt a touch fast for my liking, I believe a more narrative-driven approach could have strengthened the narrative. Nevertheless, it serves as a compelling introduction to what promises to be an impressive series.
