Imagine a world of magic. A world of war. A world like you’ve never seen before.

This is the setting for Jamie Martin’s debut novel. It is set in a landscape of intrigue with embattled humans trying to survive in a struggle against a terrifying race of creatures.

The book called The Anomaly Crystal took Swindonian Jamie three years to write and is the first novel in a planned trilogy.

Jamie achieved a Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree in Psychology and a Postgraduate Certificate in Business Psychology during his time at University but always wanted to be a writer.

He said: “The Anomaly Crystal is an action-packed science fiction, fantasy war story lasting over 200 years spun from the highly gripping issues of armed conflict and ancient sorcery upon a mysterious planet.

“It’s an epic story with countless shocking twists, exciting scenes and incredible action that can be enjoyed by everyone.”

It tells the story of a great war between humans and terrifying creatures which will be decided by the courage and emotions of a few honourable and worthy individuals.

The plot tells the story of Raven, who is the last bloodline descendent from the greatest wizard known as Grackle, and has found himself living in a time of endless uncertainty, magic and sorcery between the humans and a terrifying creature race residing upon the mysterious Planet of Phoenix.

It is available to loan from Swindon Library within the

Science Fiction section.
