• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A mysterious and frightening shadow has been skulking its way through all the realms of myth and legend. Its sinister presence is always followed by an attack of such evil violence that few survive. Jacob - Battle for Olympus - is the last in a riveting five book series. It concludes the story of Jacob's journey to be the God of Gods and his battles against the Dark side. In this instalment he finally establishes who Shadow is and quickly learns it can only be defeated with the assistance of the Ancient One. Jacob's heart breaks on learning of attacks by Shadow on the Dragon, Elf and Yeti nations and is devastated when he discovers many of his friends and allies have been killed. When Asgard is destroyed he concludes that Shadow's plan, just like that of The Darkness, is to destroy all that has been created by the Ancient One. This emboldens him to awaken the defenders of Olympus who have, since long before the time of Zeus, been sleeping deep in the caverns below the temple. Can Jacob rescue the remnants of those of myth and legend? Will the Ancient One come to Jacob's assistance? Is the Battle for Olympus to be the battle to end all wars?

Autorenporträt

Eamon Blake is from Crumlin, a Southside suburb of Dublin, Ireland, a place he still has a great love for. It was there, between 1970 and 1975, where he attended the local secondary school, Meanscoil Naomh Colm. During fifth and sixth year, he had the pleasure of being taught English by the late Michael Condon, an inspirational teacher who had an amazing teaching technique commanding the greatest of respect from his pupils. Eamon be lieves that as a result of that teacher's style and perseverance he developed an interest in writing. It was in that same school where he developed his passion for real and classical history. The history and mythology learned during that time lingered in Eamon's mind and those early influences only resurfaced in recent years, inspiring him to pen a series of five fantasy nov els recounting the tale of a Dublin schoolboy discovering his extraordinary powers, and who he actually was. A widower with one son, Eamon, over the years, has successfully navigated various employment roles involving procurement, sales and marketing. His professional journey included delivering marketing presentations to major wholesale and retail chains, as well as participating in monthly sales and planning meetings. He believes the wealth of experience garnered during those years helped him develop his own writing style, ultimately leading to the Jacob series. Eamon's first foray into writing began with him researching and publishing a book detailing the history and genealogy of his own family in central Dub lin, dating back to the 1780s. Motivated by a desire to share this heritage, he produced and published enough copies exclusively for his extended family. The idea for the Jacob series came to Eamon in the late summer of 2016 after he witnessed a charming yet humorous incident in Temple Bar, Dublin. This event led to the realisation that a fantastical story could be crafted by intertwining major historical events from Africa, America, Europe, the Far East as well as the Near East, linking them, and drawing inspiration from worldwide mythological realms featuring Centaurs, Dragons, Elves, The Gods, The Little People, Mer-Peoples, The Yeti and Wizards.
