This vivid, deeply moving book begins in London in 1620 as Pilgrim representatives sign a contract to purchase the freighter Mayflower. We accompany them on their harrowing voyage across the Atlantic, through the rigors of the first New England winter and the threat of Indian attack as they desperately search for the home they eventually find at Plymouth. Once there, they must continue the struggle against brutal weather and disease.
With masterly skill, New York Times bestselling historian and novelist Thomas Fleming gives us life-size portraits of the Pilgrim leaders. The Pilgrims’ unique achievements – the Mayflower Compact, their tolerance of other faiths, the strict separation of church and state – are discussed in the context of the first year’s anxieties and crises. Fleming writes admiringly of the younger men who emerged in the first year as the real leaders of the colony – William Bradford and Miles Standish. And he provides new insights into the deep humanity and tolerance of the Pilgrims’ spiritual shepherd, Elder William Brewster.
On the first Thanksgiving, already in the Pilgrim mind is a dawning consciousness that they are the forerunners of a great nation. It is implicit in William Bradford’s words, “As one small candle may light a thousand, so the light kindled here has shone until many. . . .” Views: 31
In the twenty-two years
since Mabruk, Belen Alexandros’ father and leader of the race of men,
joined his people with the races of Amazons, Centaurs, and Lycans to
destroy the marauding goblins and imprison the Goblin King deep in their
mountain home, the people of the village of Souvaolo have known only
peace and abundance. But unbeknownst to them all, the Goblin King has
returned, bent on destroying the world. And now, their only hope lies
unconscious on the merchant road, unable to warn them of the coming
onslaught. A wildly imaginative world steeped in magic, mythical
creatures, and legendary heroes, A. C. Hernandez’s debut pits the forces
of good against those of evil in a pitched battle for supremacy that
fuses the fantastic with the gothic in a fast paced and blood soaked
tale of vengeance. When Belen regains consciousness he finds that he is
too late: his village has been burned to the ground and his family
murdered. Swearing revenge, he embarks on a quest to kill the Goblin
King. Joined by the escaped princess Elora, the powerful wizard
Alistair, brave dwarf Bixbin, soulful dragon Winston, and mighty centaur
Raphael, his journey for vengeance carries them across many lands,
through harrowing battles, and a life-and-death struggle with vampires
aboard their ship The Voyager. But the Goblin King is a dangerous foe
and his secret alliances will force Belen’s brave band of warriors to
reach deep inside themselves to find the courage and strength to defeat
the most dangerous enemy they could possibly imagine. A sophisticated
and thoroughly captivating fantasy mythology that incorporates the
fundamental tenet that different races must come together in cooperation
and understanding for mutual survival, Hernandez crafts a
quintessential story of revenge where a son in search of vengeance in
the end finds himself. With an epic quest forever teetering on the brink
of complete failure as the world hangs in the balance, The Legend of
Alexandros: Belen is a riveting journey that will keep you in suspense
until its final, heart-stopping climax Views: 31
