"Spectacular, adventurous and magical is what sums up this awesome book...this book reminded me of a combination of Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and Eragon and that is saying a lot. Tom Tancin is really an awesome writer
who came up with such a great idea for a book. His writing style really
fits into this young adult genre and the world that he has created is
just fantastic. It is like he has taken many different elements and
weaved them together to create an amazing fast paced book. " 5 out of 5 stars

"This book is a full on adventure. I was on the edge of my seat from
start to finish. I could not put it down. I am a woman reaching the age
of mmmm 40 and I enjoyed it. I love a good romance and this was a break
from the norm for me but I would gladly take another break.

"Tom Tancin takes the myth of Atlantis and gives it a modern twist,
creating a fresh and exciting adventure story. Action, mystery, magic,
adventure and suspense fill the pages of Hippocampus.

"This really seems like book that a teenage boy would love, full of
action, adventure and a damsel in distress. Kudos to Tom Tancin for
writing a book that hits on a reading population that may be getting
overlooked in the current YA trends. Love triangles are cool and all,
but maybe not so much from a young teen boys perspective." -
Monique Morgan, author of Pursuer
"It reminds me of
the old Indiana Jones movies mixed with Harry Potter and geared towards
teens." -

"Watch out Harry Potter, here comes Trey Atlas. An imaginative beginning of what could become the next YA epic series."
-Kidd1 on Authonomy.com
"This is fantastic. It's faintly reminiscent of Percy Jackson, but
somehow punchier and more immediate. I definitely think this has got
what it takes to take the market by storm. Fabulous work."
-A Knight on authonomy.com
"Great premise for a broad legendary canvas- there's nothing like a lost
civilisation to fire the imagination.. The writing is solid, flowing and
sharp. the characters are crafted well and people you want to journey
with."
-Owen Quinn on authonomy.com
"What great characters, written into a highly imaginative storyline. Very
much like the contrast you build between Trey's world and the beginning
it makes the crossing over very powerful. Great story well told."

"This is a fantastic reworking of ancient themes and modern interests."
-Jane Bain on authonomy.com
"I love the world you've created. Your writing is descriptive, clear, and
to the point. Excellent imagination. Being a writer of fantasy/sci fi
myself, I try to read and support as many well written ones on this site
that I can. I hope this work does well and people give it a chance."
-Natalie Jones on authonomy.com
"It's easy to understand why this is getting strong support from young
readers. The swashbuckling Knights take on a sorceress and her love,
battling to his death and her escape. Such bitter tragedy leaves so many
possibilities for fair Aerian. And then, the plan is added. Brilliant."
-Star Gazer on inkpop.com
"What an original, well-crafted story! You must read a great deal of
myth and old-world stories, as much as new-age ones, to combine the two
themes to make your great tale. You write everything well, from
dialogue to the paragraphs surrounding it / drawing it all together."
-Kevin Wong on inkpop.com
"Your premise is so incredibly unique and your writing is generally
strong as well. this is a really clever and original book. you have
plenty of great things going for you here. I like your characters,
especially Aerian (beautiful name btw) This was a great read."

"Great story! I love the quick pace and all the action."
