Seeds of Corruption: The Awakened Book Four Kindle Edition

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 612 ratings

The All Powerful is dead, but the scars of his influence remain, haunting Kael’s memories and discoloring his outlook. Seeking closure, Kael retraces the steps of his past. When he discovers that his father may still be alive, the course of his life once again takes an unexpected turn. Determined to answer the most profound questions of his childhood, Kael ventures across the fractured physical dimension. What awaits him is an advanced civilization of private armies and foreign weaponry, and only one path leads to his goal. Entering a covert war of intelligence and paramilitary operations, Kael must adapt to this new world and confront the possibility that his own destiny is just beginning.

The seeds of corruption have taken root, but the Awakened has come.

In book four of his Amazon bestselling series, Jason Tesar’s epic saga weaves through the jungles of South America to the industrial cityscapes of Scandinavia, taking readers on an action-packed journey that fuses the genres of sci-fantasy and military fiction.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

The third of four children and an introvert from the start, Jason Tesar grew up as an imaginative "middle child" who enjoyed the make-believe world as much as the real one, possibly more. From adolescence to adulthood, his imagination fed itself on a diet of books, movies, and art, all the while growing and maturing--waiting for its opportunity. Then, during a procession of monotonous, physically laborious day-jobs, his imagination leaped into motion, bringing together characters and locations of a world that would someday come to life on the pages of a book. In late 1998, Jason made his first attempt at writing, managing to complete a whole scene before returning once again to reality. A year and a half later, a spontaneous night-time conversation with his wife encouraged him to take his writing seriously and to keep on dreaming. Over the next seven years, Jason carved time out of the real world to live in an imaginary one of epic fantasy, science-fiction, and military/political conflict. The fruits of this labor would later become the first three books of the bestselling AWAKENED series. Due to the incredible support from readers around the world, Jason has continued his trajectory into make-believe, recently jumping from stable employment in the micro-electronics industry into the mysterious abyss of full-time writing. Living in Colorado with his beautiful wife and two children, Jason now spends the majority of his time fusing the best parts of his favorite genres into stories of internal struggle and triumph, friendship, betrayal, political alliances, and military conflict. His fast-paced stories span ancient and future worlds, weaving together threads of stirring drama and intense action that provoke reader comments such as, "I couldn't put it down," and "I'll read anything he writes."

    This series just keeps getting better and better. I can hardly wait for the newest book to be written and published! I don't know why one of the major movie companies hasn't snatched these books up and made a blockbuster out of them??? All of Jason's published work is FANTASTIC. I start reading and before I know it....it is 5am.iI just don't want to stop reading these books. Both "The Awakened" and "The Wandering Stars" series of books are addictive, impressive, well written, books that draw you into Kael's world and leave you hanging on every word. Jason Tesar has a gift for writing!!! I would say these are every bit as good as "Star Wars", "The Lord of The Rings"trilogies, "The Hobbitt" trilogies, "The Hunger Games" and even "The Harry Potter" books. Keep writing Jason; and to those who have yet to read his books, do yourselves a favor and go to amazon and download a few of his books and judge for yourselves.= )

    Jason Tesar continues the tradition he began with Book One of his Awakened series of making his books come alive. I gave it 5 stars because it has a smooth transition from his other Awakened and Wandering Stars books to Book Four. There are a few mistakes, but they are few and far between. The only issues I have with this book, and they are recurring issues for me in his books, are the battle scenes: there are just too many. They are well-written and this author seems to know a great deal about weaponry and military conflicts; however, I feel as if some of the interactions and relationships between the characters needed more development and less description in the fighting scenes. Tesar gave us just enough of these to get acquainted with some of the new people showing up in Book Four. He also developed the Awakened's bonding with Team One and the growing respect between them. It left me wanting more, but that is also a sign of a good series. I can't wait to read the next segment when, hopefully, the Awakened and his father will finally have interaction. I expected it in Book Four. Now, I have to wait for Book Five because I read Book Four too fast. Oh well, it's worth the wait for another great story by Jason Tesar.

    Being one of the lucky ones on Jason's email list advising fans when a new book comes out, I was able to get the book straight away, and was not disappointed. The book is a great read but I finished it too soon with the feeling that it was too short and nothing was really resolved.

    I agree with everything the other reviewers before me have said but I am feeling a little disappointed at where the book left off. It is like the favourite TV series that one waits reluctantly for the next episode in a weeks time, but this episode was a few months in coming and with so many projects on the go, I shudder to think when Jason will find the time to write the next episode let alone finish the series. Many, many years ago, I started reading books in the Perry Rhodan series but the books in that series started getting shorter and shorter until it was taking three books of about 125 pages each to complete a storyline. After 40 books I gave up because the series sort of lost it's way and fizzled out due to lack of interest.

    I hope that Jason doesn't let that happen to this series and brings it to a conclusion in the near future. With an imagination such as his, he will be able to start a new series of books without any problem and I will be looking out for those too.

    Well done Jason.

    I like the series a lot. the story is well developed and quite interesting. I listened to the first 3 books via Audible and read the 4th using Kindle app on my phone. The other day I missed my metro stop because I was lost in the action towards the end of the book.

    Semi-spoiler: This last book focused more on the world we live in and the most of the action happened there. The other world was much lighter in action and I kind of lost interest on the characters we had there, so I wanted to finish those parts to get back to other side asap. I will start 5th book today and I hope that it will be a more balanced one.

    At the time I am writing this review Jason had 6 books released out of 9. I don't want to have another George RR Martin situation here waiting for the next chapters for years. Please release them on a timely basis.

    Jason! I tried to read slow and stretch out this book but I finally gave in and devoured it! It's so good and, of course, I want more and I want it now!! I applaud your adventuresome spirit and totally blown away by all the little things that a Bible student would notice. I agree, what an ending! The main character is the super hero that everybody wishes we really had. You make him come alive and, altho he is very disciplined, he is also moved by emotion. Plus, even tho this is sci-fi, there are some very interesting points that we should take note of in our society today. Thank you so much!

    This fourth book in the series is well worth the purchase. I discovered that I had to return and re-read the first volumes. I was then better able to appreciate the steady improvement in style and grammar. While the original premise is quite outlandish, having accepted it, you are drawn into a fascinating and developing tale. I found the characterisation more developed, the scenes more believable, the basic premise more acceptable. I also felt that, once I revisited the earlier volumes, it became clear that Orud was also a metaphor for a word less troubled by evil than our own. The charm of this series has increased and, while the writing is not of an outstanding scholarly quality, it is still a book that can be enjoyed for the world into which you are drawn.

    Reviewed in Canada on March 31, 2017
    I love a story that can keep me guessing, but to have that quality in a series...priceless!! In Seeds of Corruption, the Awakened series continues and yet I'm NOT bored at all! The pacing is taut, the need to find out what's going to happen is a serious itch, and I'm completely enthralled with the imagination displayed in story form!!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 9, 2014
    Having read the first three books I downloaded this as soon as I saw it was available.

    The story picks up almost seamlessly from book 3 although I'll admit I did go back to check that I hadn't forgotten anything.

    The story is now almost entirely based in our world, and the explanations that come out throughout the book finally start piecing together some of the up-till-now disparate storylines.

    There is plenty of action throughout as Kael strives to find his father and fulfil Saba's prophesy.

    About to start book 5.

    I am truly enjoying this book as it it takes you to places that you can picture on the earth as well as things you have only imagined. The story revolves around a family using their own unique talents to changing the world around them and beyond. It often causes me to search deep down and to look at the choices I make. Lots of excitement and twists and turns making it less predictable.
