Product Description

Welcome to Atlanton Earth!

Drawn together by an enchanted summons, three loyal friends-Bear, Dwarf, and Otter-bid farewell to their fair home in the kingdom of Lorini and embark on a magical journey to the fabled World Beyond Time.
A place where glows the ageless Circle of Light.
Along the way they meet many marvelous friends, including the mighty wizard
Greyfax Grimwald.
But little does the trio realize the dangers that await them: the gloomy border of
the Northerland ... the green fires of the Palace of Darkness...evil spells and dark enchantments ... the dread city of Humans and-most fearsome of all-the evil Dark Queen.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book In The Whole Series, January 22, 2000

By	Flewingam (America) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Greyfax Grimwald (Circle of Light, Book 1) (Paperback)

I picked Greyfax Grimwald up at a used bookstore once, read it for a couple of hours, and fell in love with it. The book has an intriguing and adventurous plot. The story is about a dwarf, otter, and bear who are tempted to cross a river that transports them to a realm called Atlanton Earth where they are accompanied by the mystic wizards, Greyfax Grimwald and Faragon Fairingay. The dwarf, bear, and otter are instructed by the two wizards to protect a relic that holds power to destroy the darkness of queen Dorini. However, it's not that easy. The three companions will encounter Dorini's evil minions as well as human war and treachery along the way. This book had me staying up late many nights to read it and I can still remember much of it from when I read it over three years ago. I'm sorry to say that this book has become out of print overtime, though. Luckily, this book can be found in many used bookstores that stock science fiction and fantasy. A great book nonetheless, and better than many pieces of literature out there today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Humorous, Memorable and Entertaining, January 9, 2002

By	Chemiker (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Greyfax Grimwald (Circle of Light, Book 1) (Paperback)

Hancock creates some delightful and humorous characters in this highly entertaining story. The personification of bears, otters and other creatures may sound childish, but the characters are memorable, believable and well developed. Although many of the character's names are simply derivates of Tolkien's, I think this was done for amusement (as the series has very comic overtones and isn't at all dark and dreary). The storyline and characters are unique and Hancock's `Circle of Light' series stands as one of the best fantasy epics - with a humorous twist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dwarf, Bear, and Otter, September 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Greyfax Grimwald (Circle of Light, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the best book I've read in a long time. After reading the J.R.R Tolkien and Harry Potter books I wanted something along those lines. I discovered this book on the discard rack at my school library and snatched as quickly as I could! I was glad I did for now I see that it's out of print...(such a shame) But if you ever come upon this book, don't ask questions just buy and read it! You will not be disappointed by the wonderful journey these three unseemingly friends take you....An absoulute must read and must HAVE!
