Solaris, an old, wise and brave man was worried and concerned about his people and the kingdom- The Dagmarthians. He seems to be the only Dagmarthian who could see clearly, things as they are. While others were lost in the feast, believing or thinking that war and attack on the kingdom by the dark lord (Lazareth) are over, Solaris believed seriously that the dark lord will come back with his war and attack on their kingdom. So, he was worried that the king, Asmoph of Dagmarth and the people of Dagmarth were living at ease and are not making any plans to defending the kingdom from the coming attack. Solaris also observed that the former glory and beauty of the house of Dagmarth is far greater than the present house.

When the king and his people- The Dagmarthians least expected, the dark lord returned. This time, with unbelievable and unimaginable weapons and attack on the kingdom. Every attempt to escape to a safe place proved abortive, Earth became the only hope for the king, his wife and the newly born Prince- Kodus. Dagmarthians lost every hope of survival and the return, better still, reborn of Dagmarth. The only hope left for the Dagmarthians was the prophecy made about a child who will be born to take Dagmarth to greater glory and beauty. Prince Kodus is born, will he fulfill the prophecy?

... Dagmarth and the Escape from Palmer by Joseph. J. Miccolies is an interesting, thrilling and captivating story. It has a creative storyline, garnished with catchy figures of speech. Joseph's usage of words is not only creative and constructive, but it is also wonderful and awesome. In fact, in him, I see the present time Williams Shakespeare. This story is rich, mature and informative. It creates clear imagery or picture in the minds of its readers. As one reads the story, he/she can see or view clearly in his/her mind the story. Also, one sees him/herself in the story and flows with the storyline. The story is quite entertaining, full of suspense, making the reader eager to know what happens next and how it all ends. This will make the reader continue reading tirelessly until he/she comes to the creative end of the story. Reading this story is like watching a movie.

I, therefore, rate this story 4 out of 5 stars because of its creativity and the ability to entertain. I also recommend this story to all readers, especially, those who love the creative work of art (literature).

Finally, I say kudos to Mr. Joseph. J. Miccolies for the ability to use his pen creatively and to adequately entertain his readers; more grace.
