This is the start of a new series by this author, and I’m glad to say I was the “expert” that wrote the new blurb on Amazon.This book is not the usual Christian fiction out there. Imagine my surprise when I learned down the story that the author tied the story of Noah, some parts of American history, and a famous battle in a Greek myth to the mythological lost Island of Atlantis, and yet managed to make it all work out into a neat story. It certainly had my attention when I came across that part. The writing and plot are very bold, almost unbelievable, but fictionally plausible, and very acceptable. An ingenious attempt, if I may say so myself.Though it’s a modern day tale, Stanton managed to make history meet it half way. I can’t explain any further unless I engage spoilers, which I won’t do—and no, there was no time travel. Beats your imagination, doesn’t it?As usual with Stanton’s books, it made me sit down and think. I must confess I enjoyed The Warrior Kind Series more than this book, which is book #1 of the Water Wars Series. Perhaps it’s because The Warrior Kind started with a historical fantasy setting? While I’m sure this book will be likable by sci-fi/fantasy/paranormal fans (and it has understandably gotten quite some 5 and 4 stars), it isn’t my favorite.
