Book Description

Publication Date: March 18, 2009

This is a new Epic Fantasy Adventure Trilogy offered as Book One - The Voyage. It is set in the deep and detailed Land of Muggy that knows no moon. There is a caste of many in an amphitheatre of lands and cities. The tale floats upon a sea of infinite history, myth and legend in a strange and different universe of stars. We are fed with startling discoveries, mysteries and intrigue with each chapter as we become consumed in the struggle of the Age. We learn of the treacherous nature of 'A love of sameness'. And the belief in 'Great Good Luck'. The story takes us along on the grand and dangerous adventures of the three main characters - Terra, Salger and Shaldarn, and the Soldier. It is revealed that they find themselves having to save this world from the destructive and unstoppable forces of the Dark King - Azzarlon, who possesses the all-powerful shield known as the Surkling. There is in here, voyages by land and sea to strange places far way in their 'quest' to fulfill the task. But nothing is ever so certain. As the tale moves on, skirmishes turn into clashes. And the clashes explode into battles that fester into wars. The one great force that is the Surkling can only be matched with the creation of the Eighth Jewel that the three main characters learn they must make. At the middle of all this is the Immortal - the Heir of Quilatroy, who alone is unaffected by the Surkling, and who can change its form so as to deny its power. But can he win the Surkling from the Dark King? This tale has the feel of ancient Greece, Egypt and Rome, and all the resonance of a fairy tale.

About the Author

I was born in 1950 in Dunedin New Zealand. I grew up in an interesting creative and fantasy environment of games long before anyone had thought of the idea. So, this inevitably led me to write Fantasy and fiction based on the Land of Muggy map. I spent time as a research technician and an eye photographer and at present I own and operate the World's Most Southern winery. Alongside this, I write and publish various other works of my own and others. I am married to Jill and we have a son Hans and a daughter Gemma. My great writing love is Epic Fantasy Adventure. I like a big canvas to write my stories on. My charactors are set into near impossible situations where they have to thread their precarious way through constant danger, battles and intrigue. And of course, they have to save their world. Book One of my Epic Fantasy Adventure novel called The Surkling Collectors Trilogy Edition is published by DreamTime Publications and is now available from Amazon. The Voyage is Book One of The Surkling: Collectors Trilogy Edition. The three books of this Trilogy are: Book One - The Voyage: Book Two - The Dark King: Book Three - The Throne and the Stars. The Surkling will also be available as The Trilogy Edition containing all three books in a single volume. Birth Place: Dunedin, New Zealand Accomplishments: Bronze medal award for The Winepost Handbook 1995 from the New Zealand Royal Philatelic Society.

More About the Author

I write Fantasy novels, anything from short stories to the Epic Fantasy Adventure of The Surkling. Just now, Book One of this Trilogy - The Voyage, is the first on offer. (Book Two- The Dark King: And Book Three- The Throne and the Stars, are finished and on the way). I invent almost everything in my stories, from the legends to the fabulous jewels which are in my make-believe world of The Land of Muggy. In my real life I am a wine-maker, but in my spare time I work to bring the stories from my made-up world to readers. I also try to keep the Land of Muggy Journal website up to date.
