Pursuit, by Jim Murdoch


Do dragons exist? Do our dreams become part of our reality? Einarr, a young warrior, follows a riddle from his father to find the treasure of his life. Gaby, a little girl and passionate reader, makes an amazing discovery within the pages of an antique book. Pat climbs a mountain to escape overwhelming changes in his life and his sick pregnant wife.

Set in three different time periods, we accompany the protagonists and their individual stories through the challenges and discoveries that change their lives forever. Although separated by time, their adventures and encounters are intricately intertwined across the years. What all of the characters in this book have in common may change your life forever. The mystery, adventure and discoveries in Pursuit will have you claim your very own destiny.

The legends of Mount Pilatus mentioned in this book were taken from the Pilatus official website and other sources. Believe them or not. It is the authors conviction that such legends and myths have originated with some story or other. Do dragon’s exist. Let the reader decide.


                There have been a few books that I have read recently, where I have actually re-read the books at some point in the future.  With this book, I have read this book probably 3 times in the past 2 weeks, just trying to understand it.  Trying to figure out what exactly is going on.  Each time that I have read this book, I learn something that I missed before.  And I realize something else about myself.

                Usually it upsets me when it comes to books such as those, but with this one, I just couldn’t put it down.  The writing itself was done amazingly, Jim’s ability to jump between the different characters was done so well that it almost seemed as though the book was written by several different authors, instead of just one.  By him being able to write these characters this way, it just added to the story even more.

                The dragons in this story are not at all what you expect them to be.  They are so much more than you could imagine. 

                The only complaint that I have about this book, it does jump between the different characters, and different time’s, it was confusing to me at the start of the new chapters trying to piece together who was doing the talking and what time frame we were in. 

                This is one of those few books, which I will recommend to my friends, and I will be purchasing copies to gift to family and friends.

This book is currently $2.99 US Dollars on Amazon.
(Completely worth the money)
 Just click the cover and then purchase this great book!
