Читать книгу Advent Of Darkness - Gary Caplan - Страница 3

I would like to dedicate this book to all the great authors who wrote in this fantasy genre that inspired my imagination and interest to write. To J. R. R. Tolkien, Roger Zelany, Robert E. Howard, Michael Moorcock, Stephen Donaldson, Terry Brooks, and many others—thanks for the inspiration. I have had these ideas since I was a young boy. I just had to find the time to write. I would also like to dedicate this to my parents, Martin and Merri Caplan, who inspired me to learn; to some friends who helped me work through some of my ideas: my brother Mark and my old friends Brian Godshall, Bob Fedic, and David St John. Last but not least, to my good friend Basil Varian for his help with writing the original draft of the prologue and first six chapters and the part of the draft of last chapter, and his contribution of some interesting names to the Illúmaril story and his imaginative artwork.
