Extended description

A lot can happen in 24 months. But during the next 6 months the impossible will happen.

For Jason Dee it was losing his arm in an unexplainable car accident during a fierce lightning storm that also claimed his father's life. His 114 year-old great-grandfather, in the very same car with them, was left miraculously unscathed.

Jason and his great-grandfather never spoke to each other after the tragedy. That wasn't the weird part. What was unusual was the fact that Jason couldn't remember speaking to his great-grandfather at all. Ever. In his entire life. But when his great-grandfather suddenly dies and leaves Jason with a cryptic letter apologizing for the very incident that shattered his life, his world turns from tragic to truly incredible.

Now, supposedly a member of a secret fraternity along with five other boys he's never met, Jason must somehow seek them out one by one in time to save his world from a lurking evil.

But if he doesn’t discover the clues hidden within his very name in time, and uncover how these answers relate to the last six months of the year, he and his friends will surely fail.

Review by: Lexie Snyder on May 06, 2012 :
This was a great quick read. It reminded me a little of the Percy Jackson Series. While the boys are clearly human, all of their interactions with the Greek Gods provide for quite an entertaining read.

Jason Dee’s like was forever changed when a horrific storm filled with lightning struck his family’s car, instantly killing his father, and resulting in Jason’s arm being amputated, while his Great-Grandfather survived despite all odds. Jason’s dreams of being an Olympic swimmer are forever gone, and 2 years later he’s still struggling to find his place.

After the death of his Great-Grandfather he learns that’s he’s now part of a group called the Altors that fight evil and mystical creatures. He is now living in his Great-Grandfather’s house with his Grandpa; that is filled with surprises, and mystical tools. He quickly finds another Altor and forms a close friendship while trying to fulfill their quest. I knew from the beginning who the 3rd Jason was, and am looking forward to seeing what he contributes to the group. It occurred to me, that the YA-Young Amputees group also stands for Young Altors, interesting….

This was a quick read, but kept me captivated. While it’s geared towards YA, as an adult I still enjoyed it. I’m interested in finding out what happens next.

Review by: Book Worm on Oct. 14, 2011 :
Enjoyed this book immensely! With a hint of Indiana Jones meets Narnia meets Greek Mythology, this book is full of adventure and intrigue at every chapter. J.P. Kurzitza's imagination and writing talent keeps you wondering what is coming next around the bend, and his vivid description excellently paints an exciting fictitious world in one's mind. Excellently written for a first novel and a unique and imaginative idea for a book series. I look forward to reading more J.A.S.O.N.D novels. "Thumbs up" to J.A.S.O.N.D. July!!
