Cherry Tree, Pennsylvania, Author Publishes New Book

"The Last Astyanax," a new book by Derek Chura, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Thousands of years ago, back in the time of the gods, a young Trojan princess with the power of prophecy would foresee the horrible days ahead as the wrath of almighty Zeus would befall the mortal world for having forsaken his earthly bloodline. With the largest army of the ancient world on her city's doorstep, and the only chance at saving humanity in the few moments ahead, she does the unthinkable to protect the line and the fate of mankind, ultimately saving the world from certain doom… for a time.

Throughout the ages, this lightly known tale had been kept alive by a single cult of men who had sworn to find and protect this bloodline. That is until an enigmatic history professor, a noteworthy matriarch, and a sensitive college female would ignite a series of events that would lead a skeptical young man, who happened to possess some unusual and remarkable ideas, down a path toward his destiny.

"The Last Astyanax" is a 136-page paperback with a retail price of $12.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4349-2806-1. It was published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
