If you’re one of the majority that does not yet own an e-reader, THE LAST HUNTER – DESCENT is now available to you. The book can be ordered via any bookstore or from Amazon and B&N. What’s great about the timing of this announcement is that just ONE HOUR ago, I finished the second book in the Antarktos Sage, THE LAST HUNTER – PURSUIT, which should be available in all e-book formats AND print, in June.
Back to DESCENT. The story takes place in the universe I created for Antarktos Rising and shares some of the same characters (Merrill and Mirabelle) but the events of this first book take place twenty years before AR, beginning in the wonderful year of 1988 and follows 13 year old Solomon as he leaves the funky fresh 80s behind and enters a world of darkness and death beneath the surface of Antarctica. I’m not doing the story justice. Here’s how Solomon describes it:
I’ve been told that the entire continent of Antarctica groaned at the moment of my birth. The howl tore across glaciers, over mountains and deep into the ice. Everyone says so. Except for my father; all he heard was Mother’s sobs. Not of pain, but of joy, so he says. Other than that, the only verifiable fact about the day I was born is that an iceberg the size of Los Angeles broke free from the ice shelf a few miles off the coast. Again, some would have me believe the fracture took place as I entered the world. But all that really matters, according to my parents, is that I, Solomon Ull Vincent, the first child born on Antarctica-the first and only Antarctican-was born on September 2nd, 1974.
If only someone could have warned me that, upon my return to the continent of my birth thirteen years later, I would be kidnapped, subjected to tortures beyond comprehension and forced to fight…and kill. If only someone had hinted that I’d wind up struggling to survive in a subterranean world full of ancient warriors, strange creatures and supernatural powers.
Had I been warned I might have lived a normal life. The human race might have remained safe. And the fate of the world might not rest on my shoulders. Had I been warned….
This is my story-the tale of Solomon Ull Vincent-The Last Hunter.
This is, without a doubt, one of my best looking books to date. I’ve always loved the cover image, and will be hard pressed to match it for book 2, but the interior of the book, the spine and back cover all look primo. You won’t be disapointed.
The Last Hunter – Descent (Book 1 of the Antarktos Saga)
Now that Book 1 is in print and Book 2 is
e-vailable, how long until Book 2 is in print?
