WORLD ENOUGH, AND TIME Sci-Fi Fantasy Novel by James Kahn Launches New Series

Today FastPencil announced the launch of "World Enough, and Time" – the first title in the classic sci-fi series "New World Trilogy," a spell-binding, fantasy adventure trilogy written by New York Times multiple best-selling author James Kahn, who is known for his books "Return of the Jedi," "Poltergeist" and "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." "World Enough, and Time" carries the highly selective FastPencil PREMIERE imprint reserved for best-selling authors and experts.

"I'm reintroducing my 'New World Trilogy' with a fresh look and new original content that I know readers will enjoy," said author James Kahn. "Readers will meet the new narrator, Ishmael, in an added plot twist that sends waves through all three novels in the trilogy. FastPencil is a seamless way to publish, with speed-to-press, higher margins and a wide distribution reach and I'm thrilled to have FastPencil release this first in the series, 'World Enough, and Time.'"

"World Enough, and Time" is the beginning of the sci-fi fantasy trilogy where humans are a dying species in a post-apocalyptic world 200 years from now. Joshua experiences personal tragedy when a gryphon and a vampire kidnap his wife. He and his comrades – a centaur and an android – set out to rescue her in a surreal landscape filled with science-based mythological creatures. The odyssey is not over until Joshua and his warriors come face to face with the evil cabal whose goal is to see the human race extinct.

FastPencil will release a "New World Trilogy" title each year with "Time's Dark Laughter" coming out in 2013 and "Timefall" in 2014.

Kahn is a best-selling author who has worked with acclaimed filmmaker Steven Spielberg, "Star Wars" creator George Lucas and renowned sci-fi editor Judy Lynn Del Rey. His books include "Return of the Jedi," which held a spot on the New York Times Best-Seller List for months, as well as "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," "The Goonies" and "Poltergeist."
