Excerpt
"It sure is a beautiful thing eh Jimmy?"
"It sure is Mr. Mac," a not terribly ugly but nerdy Jimmy replied adjusting his black military style, birth control glasses.
"Anything I can help you find today? How about an adventure to the Orient, or how about something with a ship on the high seas, or perhaps a space odyssey? What do you think?"
"I'm not sure yet. Maybe something with Knights, and pretty maidens," combing his fingers through his uncombed wavy blond hair.
"You're my kind of guy Jimmy. I know just where to look, follow me."
Mr. Mac waddled his way around a few tables with students studying and led Jimmy toward the far edge of the library. He turned up one row and then around to another finally stopping. Short and fat his shirt half tucked he scratched his crusty beard. He eyeballed book titles long and hard and then stroked his balding head. "I'll be right back." After a few minutes Mr. Mac wheeled a tall stepping ladder up to the very edge he studied. As he climbed to the top he smiled:
"This one your gonna love my boy," handing the book to Jimmy. Jimmy held the book and examined the cover. Leather bound, old and worn the book felt ancient. Large Gothic lettering colored in gold read "THE TALE of the MYSTERIOUS KNIGHT."
"This book is a special one Jimmy. It's magic."
"Magic?"
Born of their seeds, kingdom will rise against kingdom, one will hold great mysteries, one will turn the tide and one will not be bound. War is fought, not only on the field but also within the mind. Nothing is what it seems take nothing for granted.
The third book of the trilogy, The Chronicles of Henry Roach-Dairier, this volume, as with the others, will appeal to both adults and young adults. Readers will experience several levels of meaning from literal to social satire.
