Ranger Nader & The Unsolvable Riddle is book 2 of The Guardian Chronicles, a contemporary scify-fantasy-green mixed genre series with secret schools, spaceships, epic battles, & evil demi-gods. Ranger, a Lebanese-American teenager, inherits a magic ax and the family feud with the demi-god Gilgamesh of epic fame. The stories take place in a secret school located inside a mountain in Lebanon where teenagers are trained to be part of the Phoenician Spaceship Merchant Marine. In the first book, Ranger Nader & The Sunstruck Phantom, Ranger has to stop Gilgamesh from destroying the cedar forest. In Ranger Nader & The Unsolvable Riddle, Ranger loses his crew and his ship to a bad decision. He compounds his troubles when he "borrows" the legendary six-bull ship and flies it solo to solve a mystery, a riddle, and a crime.
The book received six five-star reviews from Reader's Favorite. Here's one:

5* Review by K.C. Finn for Readers’ Favorite:
Author Kam Karem masterfully blends elements of fantasy, adventure, and mythology, creating a rich and imaginative world filled with demigods, magic, and ancient conflicts... What makes this book especially compelling is its connection to real-world issues, particularly climate change and the preservation of ancient forests. Karem's inspiration from his family's legacy as Keepers of the Cedars of Lebanon adds a personal level of depth to the narrative that is truly unique... I would certainly recommend it for YA sci-fi and fantasy fans everywhere.

Book Review Reviewed by Frank Mutuma for Readers' Favorite Determined to see Emira, Ranger rushes through the Three Bull Corridor and to the Determined Adventurer, but she is not there. Surprisingly, even her best friend Beth Anne doesn't know where she is, as she hasn't been seen since the break. What could have happened to her? During Game Con, Ranger meets Karmen, who offers to buy Fiddle for a lot of gold, but he refuses, claiming she is part of his team. They didn't know what Fiddle was or why she was worth that much. As the game proceeds, Ranger and his team are about to win when Jid interrupts the game, telling them to give up as they need to get out of there immediately. To find out more about the Fiddle and Faddle enigma and the pirates plaguing the galaxy, get a copy of Ranger Nader and The Unsolvable Riddle by Kam Karem. Ranger Nader and The Unsolvable Riddle by Kam Karem is book two in the series but can easily be read as a stand-alone. With the gaming, the realistic dialogues, and the vivid descriptions of events and places, I was hooked from the first page to the last. The plot line flows seamlessly, leaving no room for confusion. Karem also utilized suspense to great effect, leaving one yearning for more. The characters are well-developed and relatable, and the fast-paced narration kept me intrigued and entertained. Readers will also appreciate the easy-to-understand language used by the author, which makes it accessible to all readers. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.
