Luna Brillante Publishing Offers Early Release of Ancient Rising

Tampa, FL—-September 4, 2005—- Despite being a month away from the official release date of the book, demand for JC De La Torre’s Ancient Rising has been so great that Luna Brillante Publishing has decided to give an exclusive release through the writer’s website http://www.delatorrewriting.com and their partner site http://www.lulu.com on September 1st.

The book will be released to Barnes and Nobles, Amazon, and all the other traditional book marketplaces on October 1st.

Ancient Rising is the first of Luna Brillante’s fourth quarter lineup which also includes two other releases. The book, the first of a trilogy, fits snugly in the Science Fiction/Fantasy genre. It follows the adventures of widower Dan Ryan, an author who lost his wife and daughter to a tragic car accident. While grieving, Ryan is approached by a strange character claiming to be the Greek God Hermes. Hermes tells Ryan that the widower is the key to finding the lost continent of Atlantis and releasing the Gods from an ancient curse. What follows is an adventurous trek through Greece, Egypt, Spain, and eventually Atlantis itself looking for clues to the discovery of the mythical land.

Early reviews for the book has come back very positive, including Baryon Magazine’s review by Barry Hunter:
De la Torre has presented a well-written, fast moving adventure that fits into the Clive Cussler/Dan Brown mode. I enjoyed this one immensely and am sure that you will also. More will be explained in the second volume, ANCIENT DESTRUCTION, which hopefully will be available soon. Be on the lookout for this one.

And IBList.com’s Connor Duncan:
I personally loved this book. De La Torre has a tremendous descriptive style that put me right into the middle of the search for Atlantis. Through the search for clues to the ultimate battle of survival for the human race, De La Torre’s fast paced style reminded me of a Dan Brown or Clive Cussler. I particularly found the part where he found out his wife and daughter were killed riveting. The emotion seemed to pour from the pages. I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys adventure Sci-Fi or Fantasy. This one is the first part of a trilogy, I can tell you I’ll be the first in line waiting for the next one, Ancient Destruction.

The author was very pleased with the early release announcement, “I’ve received a lot of positive feedback from folks eager to get their hands on the book. I want to thank Luna Brillante Publishing for giving the fans of Atlantis and Sci-Fi Fantasy an opportunity to get it early.”

As an added bonus, those who purchase the book during the first week of availability will be able to get it for $3.00 USD off the cover price. The offer extends to September 8th, 2005. Books can be purchased by going through the author’s website at http://www.delatorrewriting.com or directly through the printer at http://www.lulu.com beginning September 1st.
