Jacob - Journey of A God

Beschreibung

'Jacob - Journey of a God' is the first in a gripping series of five books. It chronicles the journey of a troubled youth who, since his twelfth birthday, has been haunted by disturbing visions showing horrific events set in the past. As the visions escalate he learns of a future filled with turbulent and violent times. It's 2016, and although living the normal life of a Dublin teenager - school, studies, rugby, and girls, he soon discovers his true identity. His mother tells him the story of his birth and her efforts to protect him from forces beyond his comprehension. He begins to understand his extraordinary abilities especially when he realises those abilities are actually the powers of a God. Amidst the unfolding drama of his life, Jacob's visions show him to be leading a battle against two malevolent forces - one is 'The Darkness' and the other, the nefarious 'Prince of Hell'. Both have made him a target of their venom, they know he has been chosen to be the defender of the Light and they fear his power. Why does The Darkness loathe the Light? What fuels the Prince of Hell's hatred of Jacob? In the face of these existential questions, will Jacob embrace his divine destiny and become the God he was born to be?

Eamon Blake is from Crumlin, a Southside suburb of Dublin, Ireland, a place he still has a great love for. It was there, between 1970 and 1975, where he attended the local secondary school, Meanscoil Naomh Colm. During fifth and sixth year, he had the pleasure of being taught English by the late Michael Condon, an inspirational teacher who had an amazing teaching technique commanding the greatest of respect from his pupils. Eamon believes that as a result of that teacher's style and perseverance he developed an interest in writing. It was in that same school where he developed his passion for real and classical history. The history and mythology learned during that time lingered in Eamon's mind and those early influences only resurfaced in recent years, inspiring him to pen a series of five fantasy novels recounting the tale of a Dublin schoolboy discovering his extraordinary powers, and who he actually was.A widower with one son, Eamon, over the years, has successfully navigated various employment roles involving procurement, sales and marketing. His professional journey included delivering marketing presentations to major wholesale and retail chains, as well as participating in monthly sales and planning meetings. He believes the wealth of experience garnered during those years helped him develop his own writing style, ultimately leading to the Jacob series.Eamon's first foray into writing began with him researching and publishing a book detailing the history and genealogy of his own family in central Dublin, dating back to the 1780s. Motivated by a desire to share this heritage, he produced and published enough copies exclusively for his extended family.The idea for the Jacob series came to Eamon in the late summer of 2016 after he witnessed a charming yet humorous incident in Temple Bar, Dublin. This event led to the realisation that a fantastical story could be crafted by intertwining major historical events from Africa, America, Europe, the Far East as well as the Near East, linking them, and drawing inspiration from worldwide mythological realms featuring Centaurs, Dragons, Elves, The Gods, The Little People, Mer-Peoples, The Yeti and Wizards.
