Robert Stanek has been writing stories for many years. Though he's always been a writer at heart, Robert Stanek never set out to be a writer. When he said goodbye to high school he didn’t know what he wanted to be. He knew wanted to do though: He wanted to see the world--and so he set out to do just that while serving his country in distant lands. Robert Stanek served in Asia, lived in Japan, and Japan is where he finished his first full-length novel. The year was 1986. He served in Europe, lived in Germany. He served in the Pacific, lived in Hawaii. Those experiences—peoples, cultures, heritages, and much more—live in his writing.

Wondering what books Robert Stanek has written lately? New releases by Robert Stanek include The Dragon, the Wizard & the Great Door (Guardians of the Dragon Realms) and Living Fire (Dragons of the Hundred Worlds #2).

The Dragon, the Wizard & the Great Door is a new epic fantasy adventure in the grand tradition of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. Here's what the book is about:

Thousands of them died in the war. The survivors fled to the four corners of the lands. Some few escaped to the frozen wastes of the far north where they bide their time and plot their return. Such a hard life requires sacrifice. There are things that must be done without. But when a great plague settles in and the dying begins anew two must sacrifice themselves for the good of the many. Enter a frozen world of frost beasts, hoar hounds, tundra cats, snow trolls, and ice giants. Discover the battle bear troops and a great golden dragon from an age long since past.

Living Fire is the sequel to Breath of Fire. Both books are part of the Dragons of the Hundred Worlds series. Here's what the stories are about:

Enter an age of titans, dragons, and heroes! For thousands of years the ageless dragons have ruled the hundred worlds, conquering all who oppose them while raising those who bring them glory. But in remote Karthold, Rastín struggles to keep alive the memories of his fallen people and fulfill the wishes of his ailing father.

For an Alv, Rastín is young. He has no great power to help him, no true magic to light his way and keep him safe. Yet as his life turns increasingly grim, Rastín must find the courage and resourcefulness to befriend his most savage enemies if there is to be hope for him and his people.

To restore the honor of his people, Rastín will rise from slave to gladiator and from gladiator to emperor. This is where his story begins.

 

MEDIA REVIEWS

       "The world of literary fiction featuring elves and fairies is ripe with a multitude of great authors... [One such author] is Robert Stanek and his The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches series."
