Description

The once-great city of Gastar stands in ruins following centuries of war by undead monsters driven by an evil temple. Victory cost the people of the knowledge to defeat another enemy, Zermon, ruler of hell, who seeks to extend his realm by annihilation of the few people left. With the help of a sympathetic ancient dragon, volunteer fighters from the past war, and the arrival of a teen assassin named Shevata who is known to Zermon, they combine efforts for the existence of the people of Gastar.

Story Behind The Book

I had always known that my great-great uncle was secretary to Rasputin, but when I finally read his memoirs, I learned that Rasputin was not a demon but a humanitarian who was persecuted for his liberal and egalitarian beliefs, especially his support of equal rights for the oppressed Jews. With several years of further research, I was able to substantiate this assertion, leading to the publication of this book.

Reviews

"Almost every day, I am privileged to hear from authors who call my attention to their newly-published books. But none of them claimed my attention quite as forcefully as Delin Colón, author of Rasputin and the Jews: A Reversal of History." --- JewishJournal.com - Jonathan Kirsch "Colón has put forth the notion that Rasputin's advocacy on behalf of the country's Jews contributed to his demise." --The Jewish Literary Review - Steve Pollak "Mrs. Colón's dissertation is a brief but well-written exposition on a historical figure who was both maligned and misunderstood when it comes to written Jewish and Russian history." -- New York Journal of Books --Charles Weinblatt, reviewer and author of "Jacob's Courage". Delin Colón "bashes the popular notion of the infamous Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin as an influential anti-Semitic, power-hungry conniver in the final years of the Russian Romanov dynasty." --The Baltimore Jewish Times - Neil Rubin "This book becomes a short course on revolutionary Russian history and gets gold stars as an example of a well-produced self-published book." -- Diana Brement, JTNews columnist "It is tragic that a person should be vilified because he sought to aid people, and it is even more heartrending that all too many people accepted these lies as true. We owe Delin Colon thanks for revealing the truth." - - Israel Drazin, author "Rasputin and the Jews: A Reversal of History, by Delin Colon, is truly what the subtitle claims to be; it presents Rasputin in a completely different light. Ms. Colon has assembled a weighty bibliography, including the writings of those who knew him personally, both sympathizers and enemies, and extracts from them a fascinating picture of this holy man." - - Clark Zlotchew, author "Rasputin & the Jews: A Reversal of History is a vindication of Rasputin's good deeds by a writer who has nothing to gain by correcting the historical record, other than sharing the true story of a man whose reputation has been maligned because he dared oppose the people who had the most to lose by permitting some semblance of human rights to Jews and other peasants: The nobility." - - Bryna Kranzler, author "History tells us that, once a myth is planted in the archives of recollection, it is difficult to root out. As a corollary, it's rare to find scholarship that reverses popular, dominant perceptions of people, settings, and events. In her compelling monograph, Rasputin and the Jews, scholar and author Delin Colon does just that." - - Charles Degelman, author
