X is an identity thief extraordinaire who steals the identity of
the worst possible person He soon becomes a fugitive, hunted by
every intelligence agency in the world. The international
adventures of this sardonic and amoral anti-hero combine the irony
of The Third Man with the fast-paced thrills of The Bourne
Identity. To survive, X must use his talent for deceit and his
chameleon-like ability to adopt one persona after another, as his
predicament becomes steadily more harrowing and the stakes mount. A
former writer for the satirical tabloid The Weekly World News, C.
Michael Forsyth peppers The Identity Thief with sly humor and
delicious twists. His acclaimed novel Hour of the Beast was hailed
by Horror Fiction Review as a "fast-paced, rip-snorting,
action-packed, sexy college romp." Critics called his epic romantic
adventure The Blood of Titans "an engrossing and well-crafted
tale."
The Blood of Titans is unique love story set in the Golden Age of
Africa. It is the tale of Halima, a teenage princess who falls in
love with a warrior king. Enormous obstacles lie in the way of
their happiness. In the course of their adventures, Princess Halima
learns about loss, duty, and the high price of romantic love -- and
must make a choice that determines the future of kingdoms. Early
responses are glowing: "The Blood of Titans is an epic romantic
adventure that hearkens back to the origin of African civilization,
told with detailed eloquence... an engrossing and well-crafted
tale. Forsyth does an excellent job creating Halima's world with
details so sharp the reader is easily transported into it." --
Milton J. Davis, Editor of Griots: A Sword and Soul Anthology "The
lyrical language of The Blood of Titans quickly drew me into this
richly textured novel. I could smell the air, hear the music, and
see the towns and sea and grasslands and mountains. Every scene
comes to life." - Shauna Roberts, Ph.D, author of Like Mayflies in
a Stream "C. Michael Forsyth has charted new territory in the land
of Sword and Soul. The Blood of Titans will carry you along on an
amazing journey. I give it five spears out of five." -- Charles R.
Saunders, Aurora Award-winning author of Imaro Many love stories
targeted at African-American women are "urban romances," featuring
dubious protagonists such as strippers and thugs. In contrast, the
characters of this book have a Shakespearean dignity. With rousing
depictions of sword battles, fights to the death with ferocious
animals and other derring-do, the novel has plenty to offer both
male and female fans of fantasy and the sword and sorcery genre.
Anyone who enjoys a good story should read this exciting and moving
tale.
