Intro
to Series
The
amazing story of DragonMan was born at the dawn of the 21st Century,
when the world, about to change forever, watched in disbelief as four
passenger airliners crashed, not only into buildings and a field in
Shanksville Pennsylvania, but into the American certainty that the
horrors of the outside world could not touch them at home.
It
was into this world that a new kind of superhero emerged, one for
whom the lines between good and evil are blurred. Is he friend? Or is
he foe? No one knows for sure. What they do know, however, is that as
a friend there is no one better.

DragonMan
- The Adventures of Luke Starr
Book
1
By
Ted Lazaris
Genre:
Fantasy
Teenager
Luke Starr appears to be living a rather dull uneventful life in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. That is until fate and a nameless, faceless
mysterious dark force from a different plane of existence catapults
Luke into a series of wondrous adventures, adventures that will
change his life and those around him forever. Luke Starr, respected,
feared and hated by many as the one born to greatness, is suddenly
propelled with great swiftness into a nightmare, then forced to come
face to face with destiny. Is it all a dream? A wild imagination
perhaps? Or is this unimaginable journey into the unknown real?
You're
about to find out when you embark on this unforgettable journey with
DragonMan. A fantasy adventure filled with wizardry and mystery that
carries you away on the wings of magic to bewitching lands, where
goblins dwell, wizards rule and witches still cast their evil spells.
The
story unfolds with the mood of impending danger set early on, as a
likable young teenage hero, Luke Starr, enters a mysterious realm of
Earth known as the mythical world of Spellville, by way of an eerie
portal in search of his kidnapped friends. But the journey for Luke
is not so much a mission of mercy as one of self-discovery. For
despite his humble midwest origins, Luke is no ordinary teenager.
Imbued with super powers following a ritualistic exchange of blood
with a clever dragon, Luke soon discovers the awesome legacy of his
birthright, a dark side of great strength and brutal fury and must
learn to accept the fact that he is known in this other world as The
Chosen One.
Still,
unquestionably human, he must come to grips with what he has now
become, the most violent force in nature, a dragon hybrid, a.k.a.
"DragonMan." And ready or not, he is thrust into a
nightmarish life and death battle to try and save Planet Earth from
alien beings hell-bent on destruction, at the same time grappling
with his own fears and doubts while always in an inner conflict with
himself trying to keep the violent nature of the dragon in check,
making it a tough road to travel for this teenage boy of strong
morals beliefs.
In
a pace that never flags, Luke and an ancient dragon must now join
together in an epic struggle that is all neatly stitched together by
an intriguing cast of characters, both good and evil and
not-exactly-as-they-seem, wherein , a mysterious psychic and an
ominous stranger and alien attack on Earth keep the action rolling
until the climactic conclusion.

DragonMan
- The Poseidon Encounter
Book 2
In
Ted Lazaris's first fantasy adventure novel, Dragonman, the
Adventures of Luke Starr, the reader was introduced to the likable
Luke and his seemingly normal way of life growing up in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin.
Luke
was portrayed as a quiet, average kid plagued by all the inherent
problems of the typical American teen: dealing with a crush on a girl
he's too shy to approach, pesky sisters constantly poking their noses
into his business, bullies at school and exams to study for.
But
Luke, readers soon discovered, was burdened by a far greater weight
than any of his peers, as he struggled to come to terms with his
birthright as The Chosen One, savior of the distant world of
Spellville.
Not
only that, but, like hapless Peter Parker forced to juggle his
complex life as Spider-Man while pursuing his love interest and his
not-always-easy career, Luke had to learn to harness the enormous
powers of DragonMan, his super alter-ego, a persona that regrettably
did not come with an instruction manual.
In
this second, action comic-like installment, DragonMan and the
Poseidon Encounter, Luke seems to have come to terms with his legacy
and appears well in control of his super powers--which he will be
called upon to use this time around to save the world from an evil
demon who seeks to claim the souls of every human being on earth.
The
mood of impending danger is set from the very first page, when author
Ted Lazaris takes off his gloves to delivering a knock-out of an
opening scene: Five-year-old Bobby Blakely, running downstairs on the
morning of his birthday, finds not the hoped for brand new bicycle as
a gift, but rather an enormous blue whale that has somehow "washed
up" in the small lake on his parent's isolated farm.
While
many consider the whale's appearance a hoax, others believe it to be
a sign of impending Biblical doom. And it is enough to rouse Luke's
suspicions that worse is about to happen--which it does. In a pace
that never flags, Poseidon Encounter unfolds in a complex thread of
differing tales, from an old-fashioned detective murder mystery to a
science fiction fantasy, all neatly stitched together by an
intriguing cast of characters, both good and evil and
not-exactly-as-they-seem.
An
imaginative writer, Lazaris blends magic, mysticism, religion and the
fast-paced action of the comic book world into a book that fans of
the first DragonMan tale will find hard to put down!

DragonMan
- Face Of The Unknown
Book 3
The
War to End All Wars Came Swiftly From East of the Dawn
A
series of savage and brutal murders is taking place by a killer that
might not be human. Where did it come from? How did it get here? And
how can it be stopped?
The
Order Of The Circle Of Light, a secret brotherhood first discovered
this baffling mix of man and God, in 1970. Now this Son of God, or
Satan is about to proclaim its divinity, through a ritualistic series
of slaying’s.
It’s
goal; wage war one last time to determine who shall rule Heaven and
Earth. To the victor goes the cherished prize … mankind.
In
the bloody heroic war to determine mankind’s fate, blood red
flames, smoke and dust soar high into the grim night sky above two
armies as they engage in mortal combat.
One
hopes and prays they will survive the night, retaining dominion over
their own world. While the other will wage war in ways mankind can
scarcely imagine, in a gruesome fight to end all life on Earth.
Not
only weaponry and blind fear will march into battle on December 24TH.
There will be hope and faith. There will be friendships. There will
be undying love.
But
far more than our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters will fall on
the bitter cold December battlegrounds to determine mankind’s
destiny; shattered dreams, innocence lost, and the very essence of
the human spirit will also become casualties of war, the war to end
all wars.
Can
Luke Starr, aka, DragonMan, a new superhero for our times, figure out
whom this mysterious being really is and stop its relentless threat
to mankind?
Only
time will tell.

Tell
us about yourself and how many books you have written.
It
would be easy to say that Ted Lazaris has led a charmed life; but the fact is
that, along with some amazing bits of luck, Ted’s considerable success is due
to a lot of plain, hard work.
“I’ve
worn a lot of different hats,” says Ted when asked about his experiences. “I’ve
worked in retail sales, the medical field as an anesthesia technician, in the
printing industry, and I have even owned my own business, among other
things.”
But
the “hat” that Ted enjoys best is that of a novelist. “I like to think of my
books as modern day fables for the young and the young at heart”, he says about
“Dragon Man, The Adventures of Luke Starr” and “Dragon Man and the Poseidon
Encounter”, his two published novels.
Born
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Ted grew up playing in the woods near his home. By his
own admission, he wasn’t too interested in reading when he was a boy. “I was
the kind of kid that spent as much time as I could outside,” he explains.
“Nevertheless, I did enjoy reading Dickens and Twain,” he adds.
When
asked about the source of inspiration for his books and about his fertile
imagination, Lazaris responds that both his writing and his ideas probably had
their roots in an event that happened during his early childhood.
“I
was 8 years old,” he recounted, “and, being a boy that loved to play in the
woods, I climbed a very tall tree. Somehow I lost my grip and I fell. During
the fall, it seemed to me that time was suddenly suspended—as if it had come to
halt. I saw a bright light and a voice that seemed to emanate from it that
assured me I was not going to die.”
That
singular experience imbued in him wonderment at the unseen and undiscovered
mysteries of life.
Ted’s
life again gave signs of apparently being charmed when at 17, while disposing
of cardboard in an incinerator, shotgun shells that had been inadvertently
thrown into the fire went off with a terrific blast, spraying pellets and
shrapnel in every direction.
“They
told me I should have been killed in the blast,” Ted remembered. Yet, it was
evident that something or someone was working overtime to protect him and
inform him of important happenings in his life because some years later another
incident signaled that another important event was going to happen.
His
life had followed an apparently normal course for Ted: he got a job, he married
and had children; but then, one day, when he was 27, he suddenly woke in the
middle of the night. Again he saw a blindingly bright light before him. “What’s
wrong,” his wife asked, alarmed by the way he’d sat up.
“Someone
in our family has just died,” he responded. The next day, a phone call informed
him of the very sad news: his aunt, with whom he had been very close, had died.
But the most astounding part was that she had died on the night, and at the
very same time that Ted had awaken to see the blinding shaft of light.
That
wasn’t the last time Ted had such an amazing experience. A couple of years
later, as he was driving in downtown Milwaukee accompanied by his wife, the
image of his wife’s younger brother suddenly appeared before him. Shaken by the
sight, Ted had to pull over to the curb.
“What’s
wrong, Ted?” his wife asked.
“We’d
better go to your mother’s house,” he answered quietly.
Upon
arrival at his mother-in-law’s home, Ted and his wife were informed that her
younger brother had died of a gunshot wound.
The
years after that occurrence passed uneventfully. Ted worked at various jobs and
he and his wife went about the chores of any normal family: raising kids,
working diligently, buying a home.
Yet,
once in a while, strange things would happen. “One day,” Ted remembers, “I saw
a white feather falling from the sky. It fell right in front of me. My mother
had recently had surgery; I suddenly had the intuition that something had
happened to her.” He said to his wife, “I think my mother has just died.” And,
in fact, it was true: his mother had just passed away.
Ted’s
incredible luck and extraordinary intuitions might have remained just a
curiosity in his life but for the fact that one day, while out shopping, he was
drawn to a book he saw on the shelf of a store. It was L. Ron Hubbard’s
“Scientology: A New Slant on Life”.
Giving
in to a compulsion to buy it, he took it home and placed it on his nightstand;
“But,” he recalls, “I did not open it or attempt to read it.”
Then,
during the nights of the following days, he began to experience unusual flows
of perspiration, as if he were racked by anxiety. As if to relieve an
unexplainable impulse he began to write. The result was the first of his two
marvelous Dragon Man fables.
“The
strange thing about this is,” he says musingly, “I never aspired to become a
novelist.” Yet, as they say, the rest is history because Ted Lazaris is now the
proud author of not only one, but two refreshingly entertaining books which
have been not only well received but have been optioned by executive producer
Mario Domina, President of Thunderball Films, who will develop screenplays from
the published works as a Feature Franchise.
DragonMan:
Face Of The Unknown, authored by Ted Lazaris, who created DragonMan
and wrote the series of novels, which are being developed and
produced by ThunderBall Films, has accomplished the amazing feat of
debuting at NUMBER #1 on AMAZON KINDLE, ahead of David Baldacci and
James Patterson novels.
Ted
Lazaris, (Dragonman Productions) received the attention and a Letter
of Commendation from former First Lady, Laura Bush who commented "I
admire your efforts, through writing adventure stories, to encourage
people of all ages to enjoy reading.
The
following is the Foreword Written in the Novel, DragonMan -
