Search Inside The Elder Staves

Leaf through popular fantasy novel online.

(PRWEB) December 22, 2005 -- Steven Oliverez’s popular fantasy novel, 'The Elder Staves,' is now a part of Amazon.com’s Search-Inside-The-Book™ program, inviting an even larger audience to experience the imagination of one of the genre’s newest writers. All it takes is a few clicks of the mouse to crack open the spine and start to take it all in.

The novel continues to enjoy success in the fantasy realm, a genre that has been extremely popular recently with the success of favorites such as Harry Potter and the Chronicles of Narnia. Oliverez’s world, where magic is fighting a losing battle against the emerging forces of technology, is considered both artful and entertaining, and has attracted much attention this gift-giving season.

Released in June, the novel has enjoyed healthy online sales and has been well received by both critics and readers. Oliverez’s first work is seen as a fresh voice in the genre, and his style - drawing mainly from fantasy with elements of sci-fi – doesn’t adhere to common boundaries while telling a story that is both meaningful and exciting. This chronicle about the downfall of magic on a dying world has plenty to stimulate the imagination and provide a very welcome escape.

Thanks to Amazon.com, new readers can now take a glimpse inside The Elder Staves without leaving the house. The first several pages are available for virtual thumbing, allowing a small window into the beautifully crafted world inside.

After selling out several times on Amazon.com and BarnesAndNoble.com in the months before the holidays, both online stores are now well-stocked to handle the demand.
