Warden (Book 1: Wendigo Fever) Kindle Edition

Part lawman, part tracker and part magician, the Wardens are monster-hunters - tasked with protecting the people from the various, nightmarish creatures that have invaded the world of men. However, despite being descended from a long line of Wardens, 16-year-old Errol Magnus believes it to be the absolute worst job on the planet: How could a single occupation simultaneously be the most boring, abominably stupid and extraordinarily dangerous profession imaginable?

But when his older brother Tom - the current Warden for their region - goes missing, Errol has no choice but to enter the Badlands, where monsters abide in mind-boggling numbers, to find him. During his search, Errol crosses paths with - and finds himself stalked by - the legendary Wendigo, a monster with preternatural strength and speed, as well as enhanced senses of sight, smell and hearing…and an insatiable hunger for human flesh.

Now Errol must do the impossible and not only escape from the monster (something no one has ever done before), but also avoid the unearthly legacy it leaves on all its victims - a terrifying curse known as Wendigo Fever.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

The sixth of seven children, Kevin Hardman grew up with a love of all things fantastical: comics, sci-fi, fantasy, etc. If it was unreal or imaginary, he could relate to it. Over the years, he has found employment in a wide variety of professions, including - among other things - a stint in the military, working for UPS, in a research lab, as a waiter, and as a telephone survey taker. Somewhere in between all that, he found time to earn 3 degrees and foster his love of reading and writing.

He has always been a voracious reader, but recently crossed trade lines to become an author. Since then, he has published the Kid Sensation novels (superheroes), the Warden books (fantasy/dark fantasy), and the Fringe Worlds series (sci-fi). His titles are available in all formats: ebook, audiobook, paperback and hardcover. He is currently hard at work on the next book in each series, as well as the ongoing serial "Glimmerblade" - a dark fantasy story that's available on Kindle Vella.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly good and just a non-stop tale of action and adventure!

First off, I just loved this story. I read this vastly entertaining book at one sitting as I could not and would not set it down. No spoilers here but this was 5-stars easily! Now I MUST read everything this talented author has written- yes, it was that good. Thank goodness it has book 1 in the title. And this could be a standalone novel as this does not end on a cliffhanger; I abhor cliffhangers. So do yourself a favor and get this book and enjoy yourself. I strongly suggest you eat first and have whatever you like to drink handy beforehand.

4.0 out of 5 stars a fun, short, semi-thriller
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2014

I'm glad I bought this book. I only had one complaint.
The book should have been longer. There were plenty of times when the author could have added character building dialogue that would have mad me care more about the main character and (I assume) the love interest. Additionally, the three main side characters (besides the brother) didn't have enough scenes, either.
****** SPOILERS ******
The zombie appears, presents exposition, takes some salt, and then leaves, never to be heard from again. Maybe he'll appear in other books, but when you introduce a fairly important character like this, you kind of want your readers to get to know him. if it had been me, I would have made him a member of the party.
The captive was used as a device to make the wendigo seem even more terrible. This was the right idea, but it would have worked better if I cared more about the character. If he had been somewhat helpful in other situations and we had learned about him more through dialogue rather than just a lump paragraph explaining his story, his fate would have been that much more appalling.
The wizard was random. He gets two scenes, but they aren't enough to make his betrayal that surprising or interesting. It feels like he shows up after the action, makes some magic weapons, and then gets defeated. How he is defeated is cool, but it would have been so much better if I cared more.
****** SPOILERS OVER *******
However, the book was fun. I would much rather it be short and interesting, than bloated and boring. I'm going to buy the next book.

Wendigo Fever by Kevin Hardman and narrated by Mikael Naramore is one awesome creature feature! Tom and his younger brother keep the creatures at bay at the border so people are safe. They are the wardens. But Tom goes missing. His younger brother who isn't fully trained now has to find him while trying to stay alive himself who is in the Wilds. He has a girl with him to...another interesting story there too😁! Fantastic world building and creature feature! Love the characters and plot. This was exciting and I loved the creep factor and the magic!
Narration was spot on! Great job!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice . . . but not a book!

Okay, be warned--if you're anything like me, I don't always remember to check the number of pages. This is almost a short-story, not a book. I'm too lazy to look it up, but I think it had 115 pages or so.

It's also hard to get real characterization in that short a work, or to have meaningful personal growth, imo. That being said, I like the author, and he did a decent job with a fairly short work. If you're like me, and like to sink your teeth into a book, then this probably isn't for you. However, please allow me recommend Mr. Hardman's other work currently on Amazon--Sensation: A Superhero Novel. It's about double the length of this one. Link provided below (assuming links work on Amazon, I haven't tried a link in a review). Strong characterization . . . a touch predictable, but overall a solid effort. I havent' done a review of that one (yet), but I'll certainly recommend it here.

http://www.amazon.com/Sensation-Superhero-Mr-Kevin-Hardman/dp/1937666042/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1370915186&sr=1-1

I think Mr. Hardman is still a novice writer, but he's showing real promise. I will certainly consider another of his books. If you don't mind a shorter work, you'll probably enjoy Warden as well.

Good luck, Mr. Hardman--I hope you keep writing, sir!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent characters and unique world
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2013

Hardman writes some entertaining fiction, and if you haven't read his Kid Sensation books you should give them a shot. This newer series is quite good, and it features a unique world and a cast of characters that I found to be a lot of fun. It's a quick read, but worth the price and then some. I won't spoil it for you, but he manages to blend modern urban fantasy elements with fantasy fiction and dystopia in a very interesting way. Check it out if you like any of those genres.

I chose this rating because I enjoyed reading the books. I was able to escape from my everyday life into the stories. I have always enjoyed reading about Super heroes, such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc. I will be purchasing another set for my nephews. I think that these stories can one day be into movies. I enjoyed everything about the book. There was nothing that I disliked.

Found the story fairly typical to start with usual young teen trying to do his best against a better more capable brother in the family business of monster hunting.
Did find it very interesting how the author had a take on this being a future world and how the monsters/demons had been introduced into this world and how humanity now existed.
Once the story pace picked up a bit i soon found it to be an excellent story.
Now have this as an audion and kindle

'Grims fairy tales' mixed with 'Home alone', may sum up this story.
Monsters and evil wizards, being challenged by a youth, with the ability to think outside the square, to protect those under his care.
The narrator does a fantastic job of bringing the dramatic sequences to their fullest impact.
Yes, if you can get over the images portrayed, this is a great read.
