"If there is a God, why do bad things
happen to good people?"
Although not normally a fantasy book fan (yet enjoyed Lord of the Rings series), I found In Pursuit of Wisdom very hard to put down while reading. What a terrific story with relevance today. Life in a dark world with redemption. I recommend this book to all readers. Steve is a superb writer. I can't wait for the next volume.
A very worthwhile book

Preface this with this disclaimer: I've known the author for a long time. Not as a slight, but I'm amazed at the quality of this work. We're both highly technical people, but this nascent talent for writing - and good writing at that - is a pleasant surprise! I know Steve was wanting to do this for a long time, but his work surpassed anything I was expecting. Can't wait for the next book of the series!
Great Fantasy Work
Can't wait for follow on works!

Volume 1: In Pursuit of Wisdom
“If there is a God, why do bad things happen to good people?” It is a timeless question, and one that hangs over all the people of Tenebrae, who have lost faith in a Dark World. Against this backdrop is a quest — a quest for the famed Staff of Insight, capable of revealing truth to the one who holds it. In a world where deception, strife, hatred, selfishness, cruelty, and betrayal are the everyday norms, imagine the power of a person who wielded such a staff. Every motivation revealed. Evey lie and half-truth exposed. It is an artifact blessed by the One True God — one of three Artifacts of the Ancients. This is a story of a young man of extraordinary skill coming of age. Abandoned by his parents as a babe, he recognizes that the key to finding this ancient staff is to first find answers to his own past. And it is those answers that lead him in pursuit of wisdom — for himself — and for all of Tenebrae. Fans of epic fantasy will enjoy immersing themselves Volume I of the Dark World Saga trilogy. Written from multiple character perspectives (Game of Thrones), with strong female characters (Divergent, Hunger Games) and laced with moral and spiritual quandaries (Chronicles of Narnia), both avid and casual readers will appreciate the scope and grandeur of the novel. That is, at least, the author’s hope.
Volume 2: In Need of Protection
“When war comes, where do the people turn for protection?” Since the dawn of conflict, people have sought security in a Dark World. As war clouds roll over Tenebrae, its denizens feel the weight of the question: who protects the land, the people? Nobles struggle to own it. Heroes struggle to provide it. And commoners are left to simply struggle. As knowledge of an ancient God kindles, a new source of Protection comes to light: The Shield of Life. Like the famed Staff of Insight, this Shield is the second Ancient Artifact blessed by the One True God, and if offers an impenetrable defense against dark prayers and the undead creatures spawned from these unholy devotions. This is the explosive continuation of the epic story which began with a young mage coming of age in Volume I, In Pursuit of Wisdom. In a Dark World threatened by forces few understand, the quest for protection accelerates for everyone: the burdened Queen, the anointed Warrior, the resurrected Mage. Even the forces of evil that threaten the entire realm seek protection…from themselves.
