LEFT HORSE BLACK, a debut fantasy novel by author S. J. Reisner, is really a commentary about the current war on terrorism, according to Hillary Smythe, a freelance book reviewer who
recently interviewed the author.
"I think the novel speaks to the average American, and to young adults in particular. The author told me that she did write the novel with the war on terror in mind. The Kersians [the
antagonists of the story] are very much like real world terrorists driven by their own fanatical theocracy," Smythe said. "The heroes of the story are not only the two main characters,
but also their friends who play a pivotal role. One of the many underlying themes in this novel being that terrorism has a driving force behind it and can be stopped if everyone works
together for the greater good. It leaves the reader feeling hopeful. That's what people want right now, stories that give them hope. Good winning out over evil."
LEFT HORSE BLACK is book one of the Sorcerers' Twilight series and is published by ArcheBooks Publishing (http://www.archebooks.com/) in both Hardcover (1-59507-089-3 ) and e-Book
(1-59507-090-7).
"Serious subject matter aside, I believe Reisner's fantastic novel will be enjoyed by teens and adults alike, and in my opinion has the potential to be the next Harry Potter or Lord of
the Rings," Smythe said.
