TERRAVENUM CHRONICLES VOL 2

A YA Adventure

Sometimes adventure knocks.
Other times, it hurls woodland creatures
at your airship.

After Ozzie and Alex rescue their grandfather from the clutches of warrior librarians, they discover their adventures in Terravenum are only beginning. Stone Hunting isn’t easy—especially when petulant Dark Lords, curmudgeonly hermits, and a Hack Tech gladiator sport stand in the way.

Meanwhile, their father Humboldt has problems of his own. After seven years in captivity, he’s sent on a mission with the worst partner imaginable: Skhaar the Annihilator, the brute who stole his freedom. Failure means death, but success spells disaster.

Ancient prophecies, skulking perils, and monstrous denizens of the deep await the Forsythes. Good thing Grandfather brought his cricket bat.

What Critics are saying about the Debunking Field Manual (and Bathroom Companion):

“A feast of balderdash, seasoned with lies.”

– Lord Pilligree Merocet, Deputy Under-Assistant Archivist of the Guild of Borderless Explorers

“You could have lit a match in the darkness, giving hope to all mankind, but instead you sprinted through tall grass with a flaming torch and a can of gasoline, screaming fairy tales.”

– ALBRAM LUMLIDDY, PRINCIPAL SCOLDER, ASSOCIATION OF RETIRED EXPLORERS

“I implore you not to release this, for the sake of civilization’s continued survival.”

– VICEROY STILTSON, UNDERSECRETARY OF THE COALITION OF BEGRUDGING TRUTHSEEKERS

DITO ABBOTT

(dee-toe) – rhymes with “Cheet-oh”

Dito Abbott writes novels because the alternative (building a trans-dimensional portal) is highly math-intensive and risks opening doors to timelines where pizza does not exist. As a lifelong sailor who circumnavigated the globe by the age of twenty-seven, he is drawn to adventure and squeezes airships, secret temples, and fang-ridden creatures (with extra ooze) into his stories at every opportunity. He wrote his debut novel, Debunked, over the course of two years, while sailing from Florida to Mexico with his parents, wife, and kids.
