Already a regular sponsor of the City Hunter competitions, this will (depending on sales, of course) hopefully take things to another level in the SEA region. Dr Saleh will be co-ordinating with Chris “Arnor” Grima of City Hunter fame, and Bradley “Baldie” Baldwin, professional events manager and legendary organiser of the “WT Weekly”, to ensure the appropriate organisation of future tournaments.

So, do you enjoy reading? Or do you love Starcraft and eSports? Both? Then stop reading this and go buy the ebook for just under $5. You get a great read and help grow our great eSports community. Win, win. gl hf

I am extremely excited about the opportunity I have been given to help the growth of both Online and Offline events in the SEA region! As a fan of eSports and Books I find this venture to be the makings of a wonderous Archon!

This all came about quite quickly. Dr Saleh's son, Adam, approached me mid cast of wT Weekly #42 saying to add him on Skype about an amazing opportunity. One day later I was staring at the possibility of earning my first eSports dollar and in a way I never thought I would. Dr Saleh's reason behind his writing is nothing short of heartwarming and it will be an honour to work in partnership with him and the greater community!

+ [Blurb] +

Avatar is an ancient word, its true origin predating computers by thousands of years and its secret at the heart of why Zak, a young boy recently orphaned, is pursued from his home on a planet called Terrah to the summit of Khufu’s great pyramid in Egypt and then to Australia.

Once in Australia, Zak’s adoptive parents take him to a remote farm near Dunedoo, a small town in country New South Wales. Zak is home schooled and time passes quickly as he lives in apparent safety, but bleak social isolation. It isn’t until he is fourteen that his life is turned upside down as mysterious neighbours seek to upset his perfect little world. At the same time, there is a brutal attack on his homestead and Zak uses a power he doesn’t understand to defeat an assassin with magical abilities. What follows is a series of disasters as Zak’s life is thrown into turmoil and he struggles to deal with life in a world where he has no one he can trust.

However as startling as all the physical assaults and challenges are, the real problem for Zak is trying to work out who is good and who is evil- or even if there is a good and evil side, because the death bed confession of an apparent friend destroys everything Zak believed in. Zak becomes lost in shades of grey as he struggles with the concept of good people deliberately committing evil acts. Join Zak as his preconceptions are shattered and he must assume nothing as he uncovers a system of suffering and manipulation beyond anything he dared imagine.

This is the Search for the Avatar, the beginning of a new fantasy series which can be read by the young as a simple adventure, or used as a springboard to discuss the philosophical basis of what constitutes right and wrong.

+ [TLDR] +

Basically Adopted Kid, discovers he has magical powers and is actually from another world, Really cool story the fantasy elements makes it great for younger readers, while older readers (like myself) can enjoy the descriptive scenery and the darker elements the story offers

[FS.Kezz]

It's always great to see someone giving something that helps our scene to grow. Thanks!

[DotAKinG]

What a legend

[nirvAnA]

[SFTAElessar]

We are better than the other regions and this is our chance to prove it as a region!!! 5 Dollars is not much and it goes towards SEA e-Sports and you get an amazing read!!!! If u agree with what my dad and I have decided then, support our movement, buy the book!! Coz if people dont start, this wont work!!

[Baldie]

This gives me a lot of drive to develop wT Weekly into something grand

[breadfan]

I find fantasy a funny genre to get into. In general, I love it, but I find it's hard to find the "right" books to get into, because there's so much choice out there. This sort of choice is a barrier to me going out and buying different fantasy novels, because I'm just not confident in making that choice. So I just wanted to say that this is a fantastic initiative by Dr Saleh, because since I can support eSports, I will have no reserves about taking the plunge and buying this novel. I'm really looking forward to it.

Apart from that, a huge general thanks for doing this, the scene can only be better as a result! ♥

I'll be honest, I read the title and thought it was the Brood War player
