Civilization Faces a Force of Terror -- Set in An Alternate Version of History, New Novel Tells An Epic Story of Faith, Society and War


SULLIVAN, Ohio, Jan. 29, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Imagine a world where Christianity never existed and where history is shaped differently from what we know today. Gods and spirits walk alongside man until one day, a force of evil threatens to destroy civilization. An epic story of war and faith is all set to begin as Xlibris releases Perceptions Book 1: The Potentate, a compelling new book authored by Desiree B. Cunin.

Set in an alternate timeline, Perceptions Book 1: The Potentate begins seventeen years after the Adepts of Prometheus rendered Egypt uninhabitable. A terrorist movement strikes back, threatening anyone who stands in their way. As the danger escalates, readers will meet four people willing to fight back and preserve their way of life: Oedipus is a lone man who refuses to surrender; Horus is a survivor of the total destruction of Egypt who must face the terrorists again; Mea is a mere peasant from Britain, but she is determined to help the Larakan race escape genocide. Finally, there's Cassandra, the last living student of the most powerful Laraka ever to have lived. Though they are determined, the four have their own shortcomings and must strive hard to ensure their society's survival. Will they succeed or are they doomed? Read the book to find out.
