Publisher's Synopsis
An Illustrated fantasy adventure with two graphite illustrations in each short story.
These are the untold tales of John Godiven, a man born in the mid 11th Century, who still walks among us to the present day. A crusader knight in the time of Richard the Lionheart, John is awoken a hundred years after fighting in the siege of Acre in 1099, with no knowledge of who he is or where he came from, bar his first name. All who he had ever known are long dead and buried, his King now just a distant memory, leaving him alone in a new world, his only recollection, a secret mission into the heart of Acre by order of the King himself, a hundred years previous. This collection of short stories highlights some of John's adventures across the centuries, the events that craft him into the man he is today, the Knight Eternal, a man out of time, a warrior from the dark ages who's destiny lies in the present. Eight spine tingling pulse pounding tales await within that will leave you breathless and seeking to know more about the Knight Eternal. Witness, John's first encounter with Robin of Locksley, Robin Hood; see him come face to face with the true evil that is Adolf Hitler. A demon draws him into a fight for the death for the victim of a suicide attempt. A Vietnam story of courage and honour in the heat of battle. On a journey into the heart of Africa, he finds the fountain of youth and its evil curse. In the American West, John comes across an evil alien parasite from another world. In another horrifying story, looking into the eye of the storm, John unleashes a demon hell bent on his destruction and only he can stop it, but how can you stop something that knows his every move? In the final Tale of this wild west trilogy, John meets the TimeKeeper, a being who offers him the chance to change one single moment in his past or future that could effect not just his life but all of mankind! All these tales are within this first volume of the Untold Tales of the Knight Eternal. Read on and enjoy John's journey across the ages.
