Review: Heroes
Arise
"Heroes Arise provides a fascinating journey into an alien culture, one more open and honorable than our own---although like us in its capacity for violence. As I read, I was reminded of classic tales by Leigh Brackett and C. L. Moore, yet the story has a modern sensibility and depth of characterization. A promising debut for Laurel Anne Hill."
Madeline Howard
Author of "The Hidden Star"
"Heroes Arise follows in the tradition of all good parables using elements of the imagination to illustrate its moral center."

"I adore this book . . . Hill has a gritty, vibrant writing style that cuts its way to the heart, with heroes who are truly larger than life. I heartily recommend Heroes Arise."
Laura LeHew
Award-winning poet
"A richly detailed world, fascinating characters, and a stirring quest all make for an auspicious debut from an exciting new talent."
Robert J. Sawyer
Hugo Award-winning author of "Hominids"
"No stereotypes here . . . A fine job, and well worth your reading time."
Allen L. Wold
Author of the "Rikard Braeth Saga"
"In Heroes Arise, Hill has created a rich, fully-realized fantasy world with a wonderfully textured background---mythology, history, tribal customs---and then stripped it of all pretense to give the reader a sleek, fast-paced adventure story."
