Author – Linden Forster began writing at the age of seventeen. Divine Invention is his debut novel and it took seven years from the idea conjuring at the back of an English class to reaching the page.
Since then, writing has become his dream and passion. His sequel is finished and awaiting publication, while he types the third in a darkened room.
He is a lover of nature and enjoys walks in the country and often ventures out armed with a notepad and pen.

The Blurb –
Most stories begin with either an unforeseen turn of events or a problem.
Krank has a problem. For centuries, the people of the island have lived on the animals and plants to be found there. It was bliss and so the population grew. It was not until very recently anyone noticed that the quantity of plants and animals had not. The delicate balance of the ecosystem has tipped and food is dwindling.
The King assigned the island’s two resident self-proclaimed geniuses, the Creators, to find a solution. The fruits of their labour ripen into the invention of the world’s first aquatic transportation device and promises to provide passage from the island to search further afield for food and resources.
So, there it is. Problem solved. End of story. Barring any unforeseen turn of events…
Today is my stop on the Divine Invention blog tour. Many thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources for the chance to read and review.
My thoughts – I loved this book, it is really different and I found that refreshing. It is well written and very funny.
Krunk is a small village that has nearly used up all of its natural resources, so the ‘Creators’ design a device to help them travel to other places to harvest supplies.
The launch of the invention doesn’t go well and the ‘Creators’ find themselves in a foreign land being forced to work for dwarves.
Instead of looking for their inhabitants, the King is more concerned in making another device to find supplies and has just the person to undertake the task.
