    Hola ctmock.
    Estuve unos días en la Gran Sabana al sur de Venezuela, uno de los lugares más antiguos de nuestro planeta. Desde donde yo vivo es un viaje de un día por carretera. Fue una experiencia novedosa para mi hija menor; dormir en carpa en un campamento indígena, bañarse en cascadas, navegar en curiara por un caudaloso río, ver los grandes saltos de agua y los majestuosos tepuyes, sentir la inmensidad de la gran meseta, de la gran sabana en el medio de la selva, y mucho más. Para mí, fue reencontrarme con el lugar que inspiró la primera de las cuatro aventuras que dan vida a mi novela de ficción (La búsqueda de los verdaderos tesoros: La guía, la llave y el salvoconducto), siempre motivado a transmitir mensajes realistas y positivos a los adolescentes y adultos jóvenes.
    Saludos, Bernardo Lorenzo.

    ¡Hello! ctmock.

    Greetings from Bernardo Lorenzo in Caracas.

    I am just taking my first steps in this rich world through Internet where my wife and my two daughters travel since long time ago. I find it very interesting and enriching for readers and authors. My mother language is Spanish even though I speak English.

    On the other hand, I am an author of two books in Spanish, a self-help book to arouse an intelligent selection of a couple (¿Cómo saber si es la pareja que quiero para mí?) and a fiction novel that develops between mystery and adventure (La búsqueda de los verdaderos tesoros: La guía, la llave y el salvoconducto), both available by Amazon.

    "Tales of the Dying Earth" by Jack Vance is perhaps the quintessential collection of sci/fi fantasy/adventure stories ever written by one of the most revered and awarded authors to write in this genre. The words that come to mind when trying to describe his incredible achievement are: wondrous, magnificent, epic, spellbinding, dazzling, exquisite, inventive, wordsmithery, magical, elegant, enthralling, engrossing, imaginative, original, mellifluous pacing, atmospheric backdrops, transformational, fantastical storylines! I read the first story in this collection when i was 11 years old and the others in the ensuing years. Over the years I have read the collection over 20 times, each time reflecting on the joy it brings me and its life changing impact on my reading addiction. Just imagine being able to transform written words from your minds eye into life-like visions and you will then understand the sensual impact of Jack Vance's brilliance! Ironically, because of its unique qualities I have always been protective and therefore reluctant to expose this truly fabulous literary experience to others for fear of diminishing its value to me...a misguided supposition I know, but true never-the-less. So, if you want to take a journey into the unknown and wander through the beautiful worlds as penned by a master scribe then you will want to read this incredible collection of stories and revel in their beatific perfection. Storytelling at its best; a masterpiece...

    Thank you very much for your comments. I find that childrens books can be very interesting. I picked up the book and glanced at it in my book shop some time ago, but was busy doing other things at the time. The idea of being a girls and having a 'Grace' of being able to kill a man since the age of eight caught my attention. Also the idea of it being exploted to be the 'king's thug' also had my interest. I will read it as soon as I am able to track the book down again.
