BATTLE CREEK, Mich., May 26, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Readers on the lookout for futuristic societies and classic battles between good and evil are in for an unforgettable odyssey from author Pernell Gibson as Xlibris releases his new book, Guardian: The Beginning, an official entry at this year's Frankfurt International Book Fair.
Set in the year 2017, Guardian: The Beginning reveals a world where most of mankind has lost any idea of God or anything beyond what their own minds can comprehend. Among them is Psalmulus Grey, an emotionally-scarred teenager who lives within the guidelines of this society. One night, an angel appears before him and tells him that he is one of God's chosen. Meanwhile, a powerful tycoon named Maxwell Steeleworthy and an exiled demonic being called Zegudalia forge an agreement to execute a sinister plan that can help them dominate the world. In an epic battle of divine proportions, Psalmulus manifests vast supernatural abilities as he struggles with the decision to fulfill God's will for his life and become a Guardian of Light or succumb to his own vengeful desires. Many forces from the side of light, as well as darkness, rise to the occasion to see their goals met as Psalmulus is forced to do battle with humans and demons alike, but most of all --himself. When it becomes apparent that the world doesn't need to be saved and that it's the people in it that need saving, how will the madness end and who will survive? Read the book to find out.
Guardian: The Beginning will be featured at the Frankfurt International Book Fair in Frankfurt, Germany, to be held from October 14 to 18, 2009. For more information, please visit Xlibris.com or call (888) 795-4274.
