Book I in the "CREATION SEEKERS" series by William D. Burt.
Published by: CREATION WAY BOOKS (an imprint of KOT BOOKS, LLC). June, 2017. (Softcover; 314 pages. Illustrated by Becky Miller.)
What are the mysterious lights flitting above Oswego Lake on moonlit nights? Marsh gas? Ball lightning? Or holdovers from the dawn of Creation?
When Jonathan Oliver makes it his homeschool project to track down the source of the Lake Lights, his search takes him to Iron Mountain’s abandoned Prosser Mine and its dark secrets. After his physicist father goes missing in the wilds of Afghanistan, Jon is left to decode a cryptic message leading to yet more mysteries and a remarkable, game-changing invention.
With his grandfather’s help, Jon matches wits with an unscrupulous scientist who will stop at nothing to steal the device and sell it to a shadowy criminal organization. Jon’s dual discoveries not only help him to deliver his city from total annihilation but also ultimately rock the scientific world to its very foundations.

SOME HAPPY READERS
"My daughter went to bed at 11:00 p.m. last week and read The Lake Lights until 3:00 a.m. She’s fourteen, and she said she knew she would not be able to sleep until she read the entire book! She woke up tired, but happy—very, very happy. Now her twin sister is trying to get the book read in one day! My son begged her to give him the book to take to a summer ministry camp, but she refused, so he took our printed beta version to tell everyone else at camp about it. I told him to tell his friends they needed to buy it from the author's website! My son reads the beta version by flashlight when everyone else is sleeping. I think this will be his third reading!!!!”

Published by: CREATION WAY BOOKS (an imprint of KOT BOOKS, LLC). March, 2019. (Softcover; 250 pages. Illustrated by Becky Miller.)
Jonathan Oliver is chasing down an intruder on Lake Oswego’s Iron Mountain when he discovers some long-buried artifacts. One of these relics sparks a remarkable spinoff from the Oliver family’s anti-gravity inventions. Together, Jon and his father incorporate their breakthrough into a revolutionary submersible design. At the invitation of Dr. Graham MacKenzie, the Gyrosensors team travels to one of Scotland’s wildest and remotest regions—and its deepest lake—to develop their secret prototype. While staying at Dr. MacKenzie’s retreat center, they meet a pretty but mysterious Frenchwoman. Across the loch, the reclusive caretaker of a Victorian-era hunting lodge is hiding staggering secrets of his own. During the prototype's construction and sea trials, Jon and his family confront enemies on land, in the air and under the water. In the end, Jon rekindles a long-lost love and finds an ancient, holy treasure-hoard.

READERS’ FAVORITE 5-STAR REVIEW
Reviewed by Scott Cahan for Readers' Favorite
The Vikings of Loch Morar by William D. Burt is an interesting and fun blend of family adventure, mystery, science fiction, and historical fiction. This book is the second in the Creation Seekers series. I had not read the first book but I had no problem catching up. For the most part, this book feels like a stand-alone adventure. The characters occasionally refer to what happened in Book 1, and anything that the reader needs to know is explained well. The story follows a family of scientists that includes a young man named Jon, his father and grandfather. They stumble upon a sword that is a rare Viking relic. After a bit of investigating, they find that the sword has unique powers that Jon and the others can harness to create a futuristic submarine. They decide that a deep loch (Scottish for lake) in Scotland is the perfect place to test their invention, and soon the whole family has relocated there for the project. While in Scotland, they meet some interesting characters, some that become close friends and others that are rather mysterious. Strange things happen when they lower their sub into the loch, leading to heart-pounding suspense and more discoveries of a historic and zoological nature.
I enjoyed reading The Vikings of Loch Morar. Its audience is clearly teenagers and anyone who enjoys an old-fashioned adventure filled with mystery and strange phenomena. The plot moves at a good pace with plenty of twists and exciting scenes intermingled with touching heart-to-heart scenes between characters. These are all well-rounded, interesting characters that I had no trouble relating to. I found myself cheering for Jon and his family, even tearing up a few times at some of the more endearing moments between key characters. I also liked the historical elements. They gave the story a strong foundation for its plot. One of my favorite aspects is the way the author treats Biblical history as fact and weaves it into the story. This title, and most likely the whole series, is a rare find in books for younger readers. It delivers as a fun, page-turning adventure story, but then it also manages to keep its PG rating without losing its edge. Well done, William D. Burt.
5-STAR AMAZON REVIEW by L. ROBERTS
Sometimes the second book in a series, like a sequel movie, isn’t as good as the first. That is not the case with The Vikings of Loch Morar. I enjoyed book one, The Lake Lights, and I enjoyed the second one just as much. We meet the same interesting characters in the second book as well as a new villain and “new” prehistoric creatures. God’s love and forgiveness are also part of the story. Author William Burt further develops the characters we came to love in the first book. Once again Jon is the main character and we watch him grow up a little more, as a post-high school young man should.
This young adult novel is a must-read for those with interest in dinosaurs/prehistoric creatures, in Viking history, or even an interest in relics related to Christ, no matter your age. For me, it was a “can’t put this down” book. I look forward to reading additional books in the Creation Seekers series; the ending to The Vikings of Loch Morar leaves room for more.
I would not hesitate to place this book in my K-12 Christian School library. While there is some (clean) romance in the book, it is not at the forefront of the plot. I think the book is appropriate for fifth grade and up.
I want to thank William Burt and Interviews and Reviews for the complimentary e-copy of The Vikings of Loch Morar.
