A World Of Shadows REVIEWS: Beas has crafted an epic fantasy with storybook-quality adventure. Devotees to the high-fantasy genre will be delighted by the imaginary world conjured by Michael Alexander Beas in Strump: A World of Shadows, which explores the well-trod good- versus-evil theme in a unique and sweeping fashion." -Clarion Review "Michael Alexander Beas gets right to the dense details in his ambitious fantasy novel Strump: A World of Shadows. Within the very first paragraphs of the first in a scheduled trilogy, Beas describes a detailed world with an extremely detailed history. That approach sets the tone for this involved story set in a faraway fantasy realm called the Blue Kingdom." "Beas’ attention to the smallest detail of his imagined world is impressive, and he offers a tight narrative style that helps keep the story moving. That’s no small task, considering the breadth of this work, which spans more than 400 pages." -Blueink "A war for succession consumes an imaginative fantasy world in Beas’ extremely entertaining debut novel." "Beas’ novel distinguishes itself with elements as unusual as they are imaginative." "The nostalgic vibe is balanced by sheer invention, strong prose, and a great deal of cleverness and wit." -Kirkus

When the people saw him they shouted out, " Look, there goes AN ATTEMPT ON HIS LIFE. 151 vice driving in front, with virtue following behind!" The sage saw at once that he had been placed in a false position, and determined upon seeking some other refuge. It was whilst travelling towards the South, on the borders of the principality of Sung, that one day, being weary, he dismounted from his chariot and seated himself in the shade of a wide-spreading tree. In order to pass the time profitably, he began to explain to his disciples the origin and intention of the various rites. Whilst so occupied, an officer of high military rank, in the service of the Prince of Sung, passed by. He no sooner saw Confucius, towards whom he entertained an intense dislike, than he drew his sword and rushed towards him, with the intention of killing him. Fortunately the philosopher caught sight of him in time, and, retaining his presence of mind, effected his escape. His companions were panic-stricken, and impatient of their master's calmness, less perhaps on his account than on their own, urged him to greater speed. "Why should I hasten?" replied Confucius; "if Heaven protects me, why need I care for this man's anger?" This answer did not reassure his friends; perhaps they felt themselves unworthy of participation in Heaven's favour, for they dispersed and fled. Left to himself, and driven from the right road, Confucius directed his steps to the capital of the state of Ching, which he reached so utterly exhausted that he was obliged to sit down on a stone outside the city gates. Here he was seen by some of the inhabitants, who informed one of his disciples, who ha...
