Castle Magic: Survival in a Dystopian World

by Jim Rudnick

"Being fodder for the Spearmen was one thing, but as Javor was to learn, that meant much more than being able to dodge their spears. And his escape from the Arena meant more than saving his own life—it could mean saving his whole team and that was something he very much wanted as he dodged and ran the volley of spears.

But more than the end of the Forest Empire, was the realization that he and his team would soon be involved with the one city state on Bones, that was magical—at least that’s what the story was. Castle Magic was led by humans who supposedly had magical gifts, who could not be injured or hurt and could disappear at will. Surely, there was a way to defeat these magicians, but as Javor was to learn the truth was not always a part of the story.

Join him and his team as they fight their way across Bones and see what adventures lie ahead—zombies and tribes, magicians and disciples…the list of enemies grows daily on Bones as the Boathi arrive too…”

About the author

"Being a youngster in the 1950's meant that I was a voracious reader in what has been called the Golden Age of Science Fiction. That meant that for me, my heroes were not on the hockey rink or gridiron - but instead in my local Library where at 12 I had a full Adult card (thanks Dad!) and took out more than 5 books a week.

Everyone from Heinlein, Norton, Leiber, Pohl, Anderson, Simak, Asimov, Brackett, Van Vogt and more....I fell in love with and eventually owned Ace Doubles of my own. While I never knew who wrote the Tom Corbett - Space Cadet series, I fell in love with them and they had a place of honor on my own bookcase too!

With that kind of an introduction to Science Fiction, it's no wonder that when got my writing work done, I turned my own fictional side of my brain to writing same. It's one thing I know to write - and a totally different matter to release same to the world - something that I've just started to work on....suffice it to say my own works are rooted in that Golden Age and it's that era that I'd like to one day be known as a teensy contributor to in some small way..."
