"People nowadays tend to toss the word 'epic' around fairly loosely, especially in regards to books or films they like, all the while ignoring the historic meaning of the word: EPIC: (Noun) A long poem, typically one derived from ancient oral tradition, narrating the deeds and adventures of heroic or legendary figures or the history of a nation. Based on that definition of the word, combined with the sheer scope and ambition of the work itself, I can say with no hyperbole that THE WATCHER by Joshua Pantalleresco is, truly, an epic epic. Based in a fantasy-based post-apocalyptic world, this epic (yes, meaning it's a poem that tells a story, dear readers) seamlessly blends several genres to tell a story for the ages about love, destiny, and determination, making THE WATCHER a story an epic for the ages." -- Dirk Manning (TALES OF MR. RHEE, NIGHTMARE WORLD, WRITE OR WRONG: A WRITER'S GUIDE TO CREATING COMICS) "The Watcher is post-apocalyptic fantasy tale with a difference, related in the style of an epic poem, where dragons inhabit the devastated ruins of modern cities. The author places the reader in the mind of the Watcher, sharing his thoughts, experiences, hopes and fears as he makes his perilous journey to freedom. There's also enough here to make the reader want to learn more about this world and look forward to the next installment in the series." Simon Rose, Author of Flashback and the Sphere of Septimus "Joshua Pantalleresco paints a stunning and vivid world through poetry and takes the reader on an adventure that is well worth a read." -Christine Steendam, award-winning author of the Ocean series and Foremost chronicles
