Praise for the Ajlek Books
- "The story of Ajlek will challenge your way of thinking about human potential. Ajlek represents all of us as he seeks to mature and grow into his unique life's mission. Along the way he must hold onto his gentle and intuitive nature, while battling his personal demons and the dark side of the culture in which he finds himself. A fascinating account of the transformation of an adolescent as he embarks upon his own 'hero's journey'."
- Raye C. Mathis, MSW, LSW - "Ajlek's poignant and challenging path to his destiny captures the imagination, warms the heart, and pulls you directly into his world." - B F Crossett
- "The author has created two sets of human races that have taken separate evolutionary paths. One survived by changing the environment to suit themselves and the other changed themselves to survive in the environment in which they lived. The resulting cultures that developed differed and made it difficult for both to peacefully co-exist. The partial intermingling of the peoples created conflicts due to these differences.
Characters are developed by the author that are both familiar and unique at the same time. The major character, Ajlek, has to deal with a problem that many of us deal with throughout life, that of conflicting demands on him from those he loves and those that need him. All the while trying to grow up. His balancing of those demands is something we can all relate to. In the end, the reader will care deeply for what happens to him and his friends. An excellent read."
- "Morris offers a significant, wholesome epic...A sprawling, substantial tale for fans of grounded, emotional fantasy." - Kirkus Reviews
