Wade of Aquitaine: Book One of a New Epic Speculative Fiction Series (Wade of Aquitaine) (Volume 1)

Deep in the Dark Ages, with Vikings to the north and Aghlabid pirates to the south, a small flicker of the Roman Empire has been nurtured as an island of high civilization. Defeated Longobards scheme to bring it down from within. If Byzantium falls 600 years too soon, nothing of western civilization will survive to spark the Renaissance. Enter Wade Linwood of the 21st Century. Suffering of crossed senses where scents can conjure objects and sights can call up tastes, he wants nothing but the ordinary life of an insurance underwriter. When a trip to the acupuncturist opens an unused portal in his synesthete's brain, a plea from the past draws him to a time when he must save the remaining shreds of history to preserve his own.

5A Love Story of Epic Proportions  Nov 02, 2009
Grant Me a Higher Love: How to Go from the Relationship from Hell to One that's Heaven Sent by Scaling The Ladder of Love

When I first read Ben's novel, I was stunned by how much knowledge he possessed about the true nature of love. I believe his characters, Wade and Kreindia, are Twin Souls, brought together as all Twin Souls are, to advance humanity. This book is a fascinating read since the love story scans the centuries -- from the dark ages to the 21st century. His attention to detail makes this book come to life for the reader. He is a master of dialogue and his writing style is clean, yet poetic, and the story itself, will keep you reading long into the night. Even if you are not a fan of fantasy or Sci-fi books, you will love this one.

5Recommended Reading.  Feb 06, 2008
Wade of Aquitaine will satisfy any Fantasy reader. Through time and space Wade's adventure transports him into history. Fantasy twines through history, while scientific lore adds interest to this wonderful story that gives the reader everything they could want.
Characters are colourful, feel authentic and are beautifully sculpted with historic relevance. The landscape of ancient Europe is used skilfully. While remaining true to Fantasy, the factual side of the story is riveting and just adds another element to a great yarn. The writing flows, the tension mounts and every page must be turned until the last.
I highly recommend this book to all Fantasy readers.
