The 3-volume fantasy epic "Journeys of the Catechist" is a triumph of boundless wonder and unending imagination -- the quest of a uniquely compelling hero on a world where the impossible is normal and plain virtues may be the greatest weapons a warrior can possess. Etjole Ehomba is a simple, humble herdsman from an isolated tribe, and a man of honor. Thus he feels morally obliged to fulfill the dying wish of a shipwrecked stranger: "Save the Visioness . . ." So with only his spear, his sword, and a bag of gifts from the women of the village, Ehomba leaves family and home to walk the length of the world, cross an impassable ocean, vanquish an unstoppable evil, and rescue a woman he has never met for the sake of a dead man he does not know. This is vol. 1.
