Long before the conquests of Attila, king of the Huns, Hannibal, Genghis Khan, Tamerlane; Alexander the Great, and Gilgamesh [half god & half man] king of Uruk, there lived an antagonist, savage eyed race called the demonic gods [with angelic, beast and human traits] who ruled the underworld. They tried to rule the upper world. This story is about that race, and their attempts to do just that. The year, 6807 BC, the Age of Pride. High upon a mountain over looking the great sea was a city-state called Yort. These gods among men, had temples built for them; designed according to their architecture desires. The author takes you into a whirlpool of visions, emotions and decisions this world will be confronted with; such as, containment of war vs. all out war; terrorism vs. freedom. Many passages lead the reader to higher levels of faith. There is one man though [Sinned] who understands this underworld species; realizes their fears are different than mankind’s. Where surrender does not mean defeat or doubt, rather, it is a tool to be used to rethink, attack unsuspectingly, noiselessly. So like a breeze, this down coming demonic wind shifts to the soldier and his battles.
With a stroke of madness, this psychological thriller, novel--is a story that takes place, between Paris, London and Amsterdam--the time period being 1925. The author states: "After you read "The Mumbler, you will never get him out of your mind, nor will anybody take his place." He adds, "You will hate him, feel sorry for him, and at the same time, want to avoid him." The person referred to as "The Mumbler, is quite a complex figure in this haunting drama--unprotected by his father, who dies in WWI, he now faces life on his own, circumstances being--problematic at best, as he unwittingly, fights the demons in his nightmare, and his second-self. But who will he follow is the question, the first or second self? -One being a thinker, a scholar of sorts, the other an unpredictable pathological murderer; both being the incarnation of genius, and malign.
In this peculiar, enthralling book, one will find emotions, adventures, characters, that will torment the reader, if not leaving one spellbound by its expressiveness. In "Dracula's Ghost, you find the legend has more than fictitious elements on the mind of a certain person with a pronounced inherited trait, and is haunted by the Ghost of Dracula, and its creator; a most ghastly unwavering affair. In "Shadows in the Wild, the mysterious shadow of a stranger conjurors up an untapped emotion. In "Sjorfaa! Sjorfaa! you become enmeshed in an Arctic adventure. In "Death in the Dust, you end up at a bullfight, with a character unforgettable. In "The Plane from Iquitos, you are taken into an adventure in the Amazon. In "The Diamond Caddo Estate, dreams do come true, at a price. In the "Feathered Serpent, a quest is sought, and in "The Quiet of Quiahuiztlan, the quiet is short lived.
This book has been in the makings for 24-years, since his last book of poetry, which was originally his first published work in l980. The author was asked to define his poems in this book, he remarked: "This book of poems is about real life, death, the times, I suppose my times, God; --places and travel. It tells it: whispers it: yells it! It has craft, and paradox, anxiety, expediency and calmness--; it is a fortress of strength, and a ruins. It is a mountain; a crow waking up for a second flight, possible its last. It is a story of stories, emotions, and thoughts [in timeless space, just drifting, drifting, and waiting for something], put together by evidence, observations that say: --'I am, I was, I will be, '--written over six-decades, around the world, it says just that...no more, no less."
