Synopsis

For twelve-year-old Eric Johnson, leaving Philadelphia to live with his Uncle Al and Aunt Cindy in the country, after the tragic accident that took his parents lives, was hard enough. Yet, for him, tragedies past seem to pale in the wake of becoming involved in a war of mythic pro-portions between the Norse gods of the Aesir and the Frost Giants, competing for domination of Midgard (Earth) Asgard (realm of the Ae-sir), and their home dimension. Eric befriends the mighty Thor, his father Odin, and brother Loki, along with the industrious Rock Dwarves and the beautiful Valkyrie to save his uncle, his friends, and ultimately the planet and realms beyond. This is a classic adventure, seen through a young boy's eyes as he learns to accept responsibility and grow into a man. Adults and young readers alike will richly enjoy this truly heroic tale. "The action's divine, the plot mischievously intricate, and the characters of epic proportion (literally and figuratively). Tossed into the sea of chaos is a likable young hero who manages to survive the twists of fate." Virginia G. McMorrow Author, Mage Confusion "Superb! This can only be the beginning of the adventures of Eric and Thor. I can't wait to see what challenges they face next." P.M. Griffin Author, The STAR COMMANDOS Series

About this title

About the Author:

Jack Hillman is a rather mundane individual who lives in a cave on the west side of the Lehigh Valley. Working as a mild mannered mortality underwriter by day, Jack leaves his office each night to enter the secret confines of his dark lair where he creates strange and ominous creatures who conspire in even more strange and ominous ways to rule the universe or destroy mankind, all while comparing notes on recipes for chocolate soufflés. In his alter-ego as a mild-mannered reporter, Jack has written over 2500 non-fiction articles over the past twenty years, including several medical articles based on his background as a clinical psychologist specializing in abnormal psychology. Due to a computer glitch which released supposedly secure information to the world, Jack has seen over four dozen short stories, four stage plays, several poems and five novels published or performed for consumption by unsuspecting citizens of this and several other planets. In his spare time, Jack herds cats and collects obscure weapons for use in his literary works.
