About the author
David A. Page
15 books9 followersDavid Page was born in Boston and spent most of his early years in the New England area. Surrounded old stone walls, revolutionary forts and old Indian Trails, there were stories everywhere he looked. The past fascinated him. At age twelve, after reading Terry Brooks, “The Sword of Shannara” and J.R.R. Tolkien’s the Hobbit, he discovered the budding genre of Fantasy. That same year, he announced to his parents that he was going to be a writer.

In 2003, David’s first novel, “Surviving Frank” was published by Five Star Press. His second novel, "Mithras Court" was published in 2008.
David continues to reside in the Pacific Northwest where he has found inspiration in the ocean, the mountains and the friends and family he has found there.

Very enjoyable book with excellent pacing. Story pulls you in and doesn't let go, and for those who live in the Seattle area or work in tech, there's a lot of familiarities. The plot remains steady while David successfully adds in twists and turns.
