Praise for THE MARINERS OF ELYSIUM by Jonah
Lissner
THE MARINERS OF ELYSIUM is an informative, entertaining, and thought-provoking read. Lissner discusses
the dazzling realm of possibilities in the Guanche family tree, including references to the Atlanteans, Berbers, Cro-Magnon connections, and the Romans. This insightful work is a strong argument in favor of
the idea that the homeland of the Egyptian kings may lie no further west than the Canary Islands.
Judie Gerber, DVM
THE MARINERS OF ELYSIUM gives insight
into possible origins of or influence on ancient Egypt. It shows how civilization may be anchored in human evolution far back in time, through a seafaring people of
Cro-Magnon descendants. The theory is plausible and helps to fill in the gap between historical knowledge and the archaeological
evidence of ancient humans. It also makes the possibility of an Atlantean civilization, preceding Egypt.

Praise for THE VIRO SAGA Series by
Jonah Lissner
'Viro and the Iron Circlet' by Jonah Lissner is a straight forward, no holds barred tale of adventure starring a fearless
barbarian.
Bruce Durham, Reviewer, Author "Valley of Bones",
"The Marsh God"
'Viro and the Iron Circlet' by Jonah Lissner is almost an homage to the stock pulp barbarian. If
it's pure pulp you want, you'll enjoy this.
Steve Goble, Reviewer
"Viro and the Iron
Circlet" [story excerpt from Viro and the Priesthood
of the Hawk] by Jonah Lissner: In the caverns beneath a ruined town, a warrior seeks treasure.
Rich details fill this sword and sorcery story, and the language verges on poetry.
David A. Olson, Reviewer
"Viro and the Iron Circlet" by Jonah Lissner is pure pulp through and through. Viro, a barbarian swordsman,
plunders an ancient tomb in search of a mythical circlet. Lissner vividly describes Viro's world through its history
and politics.
Aimee Poynter, Reviewer, Tangent Short Fiction
Review
Anyone who lists Milton and Blake among his literary models has certainly
got my attention. And readers will surely hear deliberate echoes of Robert E. Howard in “Viro and the Enchantress[of
Monu-Mar].” Just try writing in that style some time; it’s no mean feat.

THE VIRO SAGA is a rollicking series of adventures set before the last Ice Age...join Jonah
Lissner and his characters for a dark, exciting trip into the past.
Steven Shrewsbury Author, Dack Shannon
Something about the sprawling, repetitive, nature-based adventures of
Viro recalls the oral storytelling tradition, the tribal urge to paint pictures with words.
Daniel
Blackston, Editor, Pitch-Black Books
An epic set in a time so far past it is foreign to us. Filled with monsters,
mayhem and magic, THE VIRO SAGA is full of the things that make swords and sorcery what it is. So join Viro Maretan
the Kshatriyan in his adventures, but be warned - Viro’s world is not for the faint of heart, nor the timid.
CJ Burch Author, Lies of the Prophet

Praise for the Collected Short Stories
and Publishing work of Jonah Lissner
In May 2004 my former webzine Adventure Fiction Online -- now ADVENTURE MAGAZINE -- won
the Great Fiction Award from noted author and editor Daniel Blackston for achievement in pulp adventure fiction publication, editing
and my short stories featured. You'll
want to read his entire excellent review at http://www.sfreader.com/db_ff052004.asp .
Excerpt:
Editor-in-Chief,
Jonah Lissner contributes a dizzying amount of fiction under his own prolific byline to AFO. The sheer range of his fiction-production
eludes any hope of comprehensive citing here--but you could start with anything from "When She Sings" 'a flash Parisian opera
thriller'--racy, well-described, but a touch obtuse--to "The Jungle Skull" a Brazilian escapade, very well-written and well
worth your time. Lissner writes convincingly in myriad 'modes'--the constant aspect of his work is that it is always exciting,
and always entertaining.
