Fiction

Cygnus regained consciousness, the sole survivor of flight 1726, somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.

His predicament would lead to an epic adventure as he navigates treacherous seas and unknown shores. Cygnus is marooned on an unknown island populated by a contemptuous race of horses that enslaves a tribe of feral humans. A draconian decision leads to fantastic encounters with the immortals of Loogenage, the sorcerers and necromancers of Glubdubdrib, the anti-intellectuals of Balnibarbi, the giants of Brobadingog, and the tiny emulous nations of Blafuescho, Sinrovia, and Lilliput. His diverse experiences gift him with enlightenment and culminate in a heart-wrenching conclusion.

On Swift Wings is a modern satirical fantasy adventure that lampoons contemporary life and dogma in a wonderfully sardonic allegorical style. Swathed in stunningly painted worlds, it is a study of current society that contains within it both the truth and hope that we so desperately need.
