KESWICK, ON, CANADA, June 17, 2011 (Press-News.org) "The Return of the Ancient Ones" combines futuristic with fantastic! This Sword & Sorcery/ Epic Fantasy hybrid appeals to readers of all ages. It's a fast and fabulous ride, destined to be the best science fiction book of the year!
Here's what critics are saying about "The Return of the Ancient Ones"
"With ingenuity and sophistication, Caplan has conceived a fantastic world filled with marvelous, otherworldly creatures... Lovers of fantasy combat will find this tale a compulsive read and richly satisfying."
-Gary Klinga
Gary Caplan graduated from the University of Pittsburgh earning three bachelor's degrees, and later an M.D. and an M.P.H. degree. He practiced medicine for more than fifteen years and had publications in several medical journals before his long time interest in science fiction writing took him to the worlds of Illumaril. Both of his previous forays into the world of fantasy - The Chronicles of Illumaril and The Phoenix Rising are highly praised by critics and fans who now await the release of Return Of The Ancient Ones. The Phoenix Rising was a finalist in the National Indie Excellence Awards, one of only three honorees in the science-fiction category, and now Return Of The Ancient Ones has won the top award for fantasy fiction at the 2011 Indie Excellence Awards and is a finalist in the 2011 International Book Awards!
"The Return of the Ancient Ones" is a distinct tale that illustrates how one's fiercest enemy can become one's most aggressive ally. Gideon Finelen, and his ancestors are the only ones who can use the Sword of Order. Gideon and his classmates are gaining strength, but the forces of chaos are growing stronger, too. Gideon and the Companions of the Sword of Order are faced with their greatest challenge. The Twelve sleeping Ancient Ones have awakened!
