Of Angels And Men
Here’s an unusual blog post for you. Unusual because it’s not about Symi, but it does tie in with the Symi Dream blog because it is about a book (four, actually) and that book has a link to Greece – a fantasy one. I know readers are always on the lookout for books about living in Greece and books about the country and its people, but I also have readers who like to read fantasy stories, and this one looks like a great read.
I am talking about ‘Of Angels And Men’ by Jonathan Yanez. This book is part one of a series that takes place, in part, at some of the ancient wonders of Greece. The book blurb reads: “The Colossus of Rhodes, The Temple of Artemis, and The Statue of Zeus aren’t what we thought they were. Join an adventure with angels and demons and discover the true purpose behind these ancient wonders.”
I like the line on Amazon that reads, ‘Fight evil with us,’ they said. ‘It will be fun, they said.’ That’s enough to get me tempted, and I have downloaded the Kindle version of the book, though the paperback is also on sale, and there’s an audio version as well. There are also over 40 reviews on Amazon, so you can take a look at the book page and read up on what other readers have said.
I reckon Jonathan and I share a similar sense of humour, even though his work is clearly fantasy and alt-universe material, and not at all similar to mine. I can tell we’re on the same wavelength from his author bio, part of which reads, ‘His hobbies include archery, mud runs, collecting the skulls of his enemies and baking cupcakes. He lives in Southern California with his wife and three pets where he stays highly caffeinated 24/7.’
If you like this book, then you might like to expand the series with the other three parts to the series:
By the way, if you find yourself following those links and come to Amazon.com, you will be able to redirect to your local Amazon to pace your order.
I’ll be back tomorrow with some Symi related thoughts and photos.
