Velvak's Victory (A Bradapol Series Fiction Novel for Kindle (Action, adventure and fantasy) #1) Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 10 ratings

Survival of the fittest. Can a society living in the Stone Age defeat unwanted visitors from a technologically advanced world?



When Alec's mom reports his math teacher for bullying, she has no idea what the consequences will be. Scared out of her mind, she decides to return to Bradapol to ask for help, knowing full well that this could lead to her execution.

Although Bradapol has never progressed past the Stone Age, they have learnt how to harness the natural elements through the Helper.

Alec's name is changed to Velvak, and he befriends Lokjab, a young wolf. With that, an ancient prophesy is fulfilled. With the help of Edno, Velvak discovers his own natural gifts and talents, and has to learn how to survive on his own in this harsh world.
When the Security Council discovers that someone from another world is plundering Bradapol's resources yet again, they decide to send Velvak to investigate. Trained warriors that were sent on previous occasions had simply disappeared.

Does Velvak really stand a chance?

The Bradapol books are available as fiction on kindle and can be described as action science fiction or action fiction.

Fiction kindle books can be described as either fiction general or some prefer fiction novels.

In much the same way, science fiction kindle books for adults would be a more accurate description than science fiction books.

Review

I recommend this story to Everyone who likes Scifi or even fantasy. It seems more like a young adult book but it would be enjoyable by all. - Jason Guehring

A great adventure from start to finish, great characters who grow as you read A really entertaining read leaves you wanting more.
I could not put it down and I will be reading it again truly a 5 star read-

From the Author

This is the first of the Bradapol series of books.

Although it is science fiction, it also fits comfortably in the fantasy, action and adventure genres.

I love nature, and am not impressed with what we have done, and are still doing, to our planet. Bradapol is a world that chose not to have an industrial revolution, and its people focus on sustainability and responsible use of natural resources.

Does this mean their lifestyle is inferior to ours?

I don't believe so, but you be the judge.

    Let me start by saying I don't care for science fiction books. My genre of choice is Fantasy. With that being said, this book was a complete surprise. The story was excellent and really pulled me in. There was only two things that didn't work in my opinion. The first was the concept of "Auto-run." I though that so much was put into the other items and concepts that this just seemed a little generic. The other thing was in chapter 6. There was a depressing part of the story. This part seemed to have no lead up. I was confused for a few minutes. Those were both just things I found that bothered me. I recommend this story to Everyone who likes Scifi or even fantasy. It seems more like a young adult book but it would be enjoyable by all.

    From a scared bullied boy with glasses to a hunter on a different world, Velvak's victory is a exciting story of a boy coming into his own through tragedy. It is a well written story that grabs your attention and keeps it, being extremely hard to put down. The characters become friends and the world of Bradapol is well crafted and believable, this is a tale that is for the teenager, young adult but also the young at heart, I can't wait for the next book from this author.

    This is not my usual genre but was asked by the author to give a review. Velvak's Victory is a surprising blend of science fiction and fantasy. Young Alec finds himself tragically without a family and moved to his mother's home world where he discovers powers he never knew he had or that even existed. On the new world of Bradopol, he takes on the name Velvak and begins training to be a hunter. From there, he gets caught up in an adventure (no spoilers here!) that could almost be considered a hero's journey. He discovers power, friendship, truth and the real meaning of justice. Velvak's Victory is an imaginative and fascinating blend of Star Trek, Hunger Games, and Planet of the Apes. With more books to come in the series, it will be interesting to see Velvak's character continue to grow as he takes on a "chosen one" type role.

    Velvak's Victory by Eddie de Jong is a great read. Jong's story is about young Alec who is bullied and loses his entire family on Earth. However Alec is of two worlds Earth and Bradapol. After his family has died he moves to Bradapol only to discover powers he never knew he possessed along with his new name. Along the journey to discover who he is, he is able to help others and overcome his fears. If you want to read something different that will keep you entertained and entranced through the whole story I would totally recommend you reading Velvak's Victory.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Science Fiction-Fantasy
    Reviewed in Canada on September 20, 2013
    "Velvak's Victory" is a science fiction- fantasy novel with a dash of murder, mystery and the supernatural thrown into the mix. In this story Alec, a thirteen year old, bullied at school by his teacher is afraid of the repercussions if his mother takes action. But, when she finds out and demands Ron Greene's suspension all hell breaks loose. His family is murdered and the grieving Alec is whisked away to Bradapol, a land without modern technology where a prophecy has foretold that a stranger will arise as the Jafgerat , the chosen one, to save its people.

    In Bradapol, Alec who's renamed Velvak partners with the wolf Lokjab, communicating by minspeak, and slowly develops abilities that will not only help him in his testing at the hunter/warrior games, but also when he faces the evil menace that wants to deplete their world of its natural resources. Can Velvak save Bradapol and survive? Will he obtain justice for his family's murder? These questions are answered in an adventure that's riveting from the beginning to the end.

    The plot flows quickly and smoothly , tension mounting as Velvak faces one challenge after another, his life always hanging on the edge of disaster. Throughout there are a wealth of fascinating and realistic characters like Alec, each with a complex personality. Alec's a typical thirteen year old teenager with low self-esteem, angry and frustrated with the bullying at school, but with a natural affinity with animals. When he begins life in Bradapol, learning to be a hunter/ warrior, he's grief stricken and fearful, but soon adapts, growing more confident, determined and brave. Kenu and Lockjab are highly intelligent wolves who use minspeak to communicate with Velvak. Although both are very protective, Velvak's partner Lockjab is dedicated and loyal, selflessly defending him. Edno, a kind and caring hunter takes Velvak under his wing, seemingly blasé at times when demanding the best of his protégé.

    Even the minor characters in this story leave a vivid impression with their commanding personalities,like Anne Alec's overprotective and self-sacrificing mother; Nanom the astute and practical healer ; Kana and Lenvo, his suspicious, but uncomplaining friends , and Jafkeg, brave and selfless. Memorable also are antagonists like the abusive bully Ron Green , the murderous drug dealer Moketsa, and the malevolent and depraved Miwuch.

    Woven into this fascinating story is the author's use of unique and imaginative devices like the pangot, an earring that links the bearer to the Helper, the lifter, a natural mechanism for travelling and the magbar, a magnetic barrier, as well as natural abilities like minspeak, and unitravel.

    All these provide a matchless dimension to a story that's thrilling, inventive and holds the reader enthralled from one chapter to the next. I highly recommend it and can't wait for the next adventure to unfold
