Review of Of Atlantis
First in a series of five novels by Lanaia Lee:
"Of Atlantis, I think it is absolutely beautiful. I have to offer a caveat here - this is not my genre. Historical fiction, historical romance, historical fantasy - I have never attempted to write any of it. I am strictly American Hardboiled. I agree with Raymond Chandler, don't write about anything you haven't slugged in the nose. Having said that, your characters are brilliantly drawn. The descriptive passages are sensuous and tangible. The story runs on its own logic, as if it wrote itself. The Native Americans believe that you know. They say that when a story finds an author worthy, it taps them on shoulder.
I don't know what that mental midget Hill plagiarized, but he did not plagiarize your talent. This is good Lanaia, really good. Your deserve all the good that comes from it."
Blessings,

Synopsis of Book One
Of Atlantis is an epic fantasy novel based on the king of Atlantis know as Archimedes. For some strange reason Archimedes was blessed with a source of untapped power. His mother, Cheris, knows the truth, but his father, King Linus does not, making him very fearful of the young prince, his only son. In this first book of a five column series, we follow Archimedes from his child hood, until he is crowned king, marries and has children of his own.
His mother, Cheris, lives through a loveless marriage, because she feels she has a duty to her subjects and to her only son,Archimedes. She never puts her self first. The continent of Atlantis is made up of several different countries, and five other kings. Someone always causing political turmoil, must like today. War always a threat to man kind.
We observe day to day life in Atlantis, before the devastating day, the ocean swallowed the entire continent. One man, that was advisor, to the king, would be proven to be an arch enemy, him knowing the truth of the powers of Archimedes, this man wanted the king powers, his name is Uric.
After the devastation, Uric and Archimedes survive because of their special powers, Uric having the same powers, they have the ability for eternal life.. Uric chases Archimedes through out history, in an attempt, to gain the power of Archimedes, thus making Uric veer strong. They both assume many identities through out history.
Archimedes was proud, he was regal, he was proud, he was Of Atlantis.
