Falcon’s Quest
Book 1: Flight of the Falcon
Flight of the Falcon is book one in a planned series titled Falcon’s Quest which is a Trail Life Adventure Series written by Trail Life leader Mark T. Hancock and Bryan Davis a Christian fantasy author.
In Flight of the Falcon the main character Dylan is struggling over the disappearance of his father, which was approximately two years ago. A teacher, who is a part of Trail Life, invites Dylan to a camp out. Reluctantly, Dylan attends after a mysterious dream about a girl asking for Dylan to help rescue her.
The camping trip itself opens up even more mystery as an airplane descends near their campsite. While odd, what is even more disturbing is that it is the airplane Dylan’s father was flying when his father went missing. A fun adventurous story unfolds as Dylan begins to find and follow the clues left behind by his father, along with the directions given from his mysterious dream. With the help of his new Trail Life brothers and mentor, Dylan is able to build one of the model planes his father left plans for and ultimately save Maya, the girls seeking rescue in his dream.
Faith, family, and friendship are central to this novel with great theme that promote bravery and courage – a story that young boys will certainly love to read. My son, who is also in Trail Life, absolutely loved the story and cannot wait for book two. I also enjoyed the fast-paced nature of the story and the obvious nature of promoting worthy themes and ideas to the minds of young readers.
If you have a reader who loves adventure and perhaps is a part of Trail Life USA itself, I think you will find this book an instant hit.
