Review:
"Part one of Geoffrey Girard's serial,
Cain XP11, is a must-read. Excellent storytelling and dialogue carry
this first installment along at a clip... But mainly you have to read
Cain XP11 for the last line. It is one of the strongest single lines
I've ever read in any story, and I've never come across a writer who can
deliver such an impact of both horror and humor in six simple words."

The
Iliad by Geoffrey Girard (Purun
Media, 2007) --
Scheduled
for 2008
A retelling for middle school
readers of the most famous war story ever told:
The classic Greek tale of
the Trojan War! From such legendary warriors as Achilles and Prince Hector
to the very gods of Mt. Olympus.
Being produced for markets outside the U.S. Will let you know when/if a version becomes
available stateside.The oracle
moved carefully through the large tent. Very carefully. Who would blame
him? It was a room filled with warriors. And, it seemed, these warriors
were in a very bad mood. Their faces, which were burned brown by the sun
and sprinkled with old scars of battle, looked cruel and serious as they
watched him enter and he pulled his dark robes closer, hoping to protect
himself from their harsh stares. He breathed deeply and tried to find
courage for his first words. “Greetings, Great King,” he managed. "I bring
you words of Death." |
