THE POISON OF THORNS: The Dragon's Back #1, by Robert Dennis
Wilson, unfolds as an intriguing and action-packed Fantasy with
bards, dragons, swords, and mysterious black-robed villains lurking
in the shadows. All of this takes place on a mysterious isolated
continent that appears to be the exact shape of an immense Dragon,
floating on the unfathomable depths of an endless sea.
Ten long years after witnessing the mysterious murder of their
parents, two brothers have just been freed from incarceration in a
prison-like orphanage. Against their wills they are torn apart and
launched into separate quests against conflicting and dangerous
forces. Independently they struggle to learn the truth and to
resolve the unanswered cries for vengeance that have long consumed
their lives with the poisoned thorns of unresolved bitterness.
Finding themselves pitted against a strange and hostile world,
overwhelmed with many questions; it becomes their individual
obsessions to find the hidden answers and rescue each other.
Why were they locked away in that out-of-the way orphanage for ten
long years, when they had living kin who would gladly have claimed
them? Who are the sinister black-robed Dragonmen and what is their
hidden agenda. And why are these blackrobes so interested in the
two teenaged brothers that they would mobilize all of their
considerable resources to possess them?
"MY BROTHER'S KEEPER" continues the exciting Christian Fantasy,
"The Dragon's Back" Trilogy, begun in "THE POISON OF THORNS." Here
are bards, dragons, swords, dark villains, and ADVENTURE Living on
a land shaped like a monstrous Dragon floating on a bottomless Sea,
two brothers have chosen dramatically different paths to deal with
the pain caused by watching the murder of their parents. Kaleb, the
eldest, has taken up thorns and sided with the black-robed
Dragonmen and their gigantic Captain, Raven. Overcome by
bitterness, he has vowed to exact vengeance and rescue his bother
from the man he thinks is responsible for that crime, Nathan the
Master Bard. Jason, the younger sibling, is an apprentice to that
same bard and has chosen to forsake the dark poison of the thorns
and follow the teachings of the Great Gryphon and His Swimmer Son.
Out of their love for each other, both brothers seek with their
entire beings to deliver their sibling from his chosen path. A
violent conflagration of armed conflict is inevitable
What other authors are saying about "THE POISON OF THORNS, The
Dragon's Back #1"
Tracy Krauss, bestselling author of ""Play It Again"" and ""The
Beat Goes On"" says: "Book 1 of The Dragon's Back Series reads
somewhat like a Lewis, Tolkien or even a Rowling. Full of heraldry
and lore in a make believe otherworld, this novel is full of action
and adventure sure to please anyone who enjoys a good fantasy
story. ...Anyone who likes fantasy with an unapologetic Christian
worldview should enjoy it."
Ashley Wintters "Ashley Dawn"], author of ""Shadows from the
Past"" and ""Shadows of Suspicion"" says: "Wonderfully Written This
was a superbly written book. A good vs. evil that isn't too preachy
but definitely has a spiritual overtone. The imagery the author
used made you actually feel like you were a part of the book. The
characters were very well developed and very likeable. I rate it a
5/5. If you get the chance, you should definitely read it and I'm
ready for the second one "
SCIENCE OPENED A DOOR - SOMETHING CAME THROUGH This exciting Sci-Fi
novel overflows with inter-dimensional visitors, psychic
experimentation, threats of inter-dimensional warfare, disappearing
people, lots of action, and enough romance to keep it interesting.
Professor Horace Thompson and his team have just successfully
completed a world-changing experiment in the newly legitimized
science of Parapsychology. Using electronic devices that boost the
mind's weak ESP signals, they successfully communicated thoughts
over a distance of 56 miles. Suddenly their world changes even
more. Their experiment opens a crack between dimensions and the
form of a huge god-like alien temporarily materializes in front of
them. Before he disappears, this apparently peaceful being informs
them that his advanced race, the "Teachers," desires to not only
once again assist mankind, as they have in the ancient past, but to
also support them against their common interdimensional enemy. What
does it all mean? Two ancient and diametrically opposed alien
civilizations have for millennia chosen the planet Earth to be the
ideological arena where they confront each other. One side
champions Law and a society based on unchanging Absolutes; the
other promotes Liberty, License, and Free Choice. Throughout the
ages of Man, we, like unsuspecting pieces on a chess board, have
been chosen to be the PLAYERS in their deadly game. But a change is
taking place, one which will force every inhabitant of Earth to
choose active membership in one side or the other. The alien
Overlords are suddenly moving out of the shadows and our planet is
about to become the devastated battleground - the Arena - where
they will openly face each other in final and ultimate conflict.
And God help the human who gets in their way or who chooses the
wrong side This manuscript garnered the "Alpha Award" (presented to
a new author of fiction) at the Sandy Cove Christian Writers
Conference in Northeast, MD.
