‘Dan Brown of Sci-Fi’ Available to the Media

Tampa, Fl., October 19, 2005 - If you are a journalist for a book industry publication or website focused on Sci-Fi, Fantasy, or Action/Adventure, JC De La Torre, author of Ancient Rising, would love to do an interview with you. De La Torre has been described by some reviewers as "the Dan Brown/Clive Cussler of Sci-Fi Fantasy" and as "an author of the 21st century" for his interaction with the media. He also made news by offering a portion from every book he sells to the relief efforts for Hurricane Katrina's devastated communities. The media friendly author offers “an open book” for any journalist who would like a great story on one of the up-and-coming new authors of the Science Fiction/Fantasy genre.

His novel follows the exploits of widower Dan Ryan, who while in mourning, is approached by a strange figure claiming to be the Greek God Hermes. The self proclaimed deity tells Dan that the Gods of myth are real, imprisoned on Atlantis, and only Dan can free them. What follows is an adventure through Greece, Egypt, Spain, and eventually Atlantis itself. Along the way Dan struggles with his own sanity, his relationship with God, an attraction to a young companion, sharks, pirates, murderers, an evil billionaire bent on finding Atlantis first, zombies, confusing clues, and the never-ending sarcasm of Hermes.

The book has received great reviews including -
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

De la Torre has presented a well-written, fast moving adventure that fits into the Clive Cussler/Dan Brown mode
-Baryon Speculative Fiction Magazine

An entertaining and fast read with interesting concepts. I look forward to the obvious sequel. Highly recommended.

Ancient Rising is surely to be a Best-Seller! This is truly an unique book that will spark the interest of almost every age group. I have never read a book with this much action. An intriguing imagination combining Atlantis, mythology, and adventure that will lead you to never putting the book down until the final sentence.
- Michelle Rossi Author of All About Me

There has been excellent buzz thus far. De La Torre has done some interviews with small Science Fiction genre websites and is eager to participate in his first interview with a major publication.
