discover Diana's least-known but well-loved novel... THE RESURRECTION OF CAPTAIN ETERNITY by Diana Laurence writing as Diane Lau
At age 15, Maria met a man who changed her life…Unfortunately, he was from space. Or more accurately, on TV. For one summer she adored him. For 17 years she never forgot him. And then one day he returned. Now Maria has to reconcile her dream space hero with a real flesh-and-blood man, or at least with his personas: actor, waiter, rock singer, enigma with a mysterious past. Which one is real, and what has become of Captain Eternity? And who is it that Maria really loves? If you've ever been in love with a fantasy, and wished it could be real, find out how Maria handles it when that very wish comes true….
Rating: all ages
Written before Diana made her name as a romance author, The Resurrection of Captain Eternity is a hidden treasure her fans are only beginning to discover. The newly-released ebook version will bring this tale of the intersection of reality and fantasy to a new generation of readers. Read an excerpt from the book. Reader reviews: I just this minute finished Captain Eternity, and what a delight it is! I liked the light touch you put on the sexual tensions and love-making. Maria's hero-worship, as a young girl, of "her" Captain presented her with a seemingly unsurmountable problem. And Fritz, who had his own bag of demanding alter-egos that he felt compelled to drag along in his life journey, played to her eager audience. Could these two fine real humans ever be able to, not cast aside these endearing personality parts, but weave them into whole and secure adults? And can Maria and Fritz fill the empty spots in each other's beings, so that the ghosts of Maria-at-fifteen and both Captain and Julian can recede into small playful recesses, while Maria and Fritz move into a real future, maybe together? I loved the book, and I thank you for giving me the chance to enjoy it. Captain Eternity is a sweet and lovely story, and I say that with a warm feeling for the kind and gentle protagonists and their good and giving friends. --Norah Z. "I just finished Captain Eternity and loved it! It was funny, scary and teary at almost the same time. It was an interesting fantasy to work with, and one that I think everyone has. What do you do when the situation becomes real? I also liked Maria. I found myself smiling at different parts. It's a great story." --Kelly M. "Absolutely one of my favorite books of all time. YOU MUST READ IT!" --Samantha M. |
