Vernon author publishes second novel

HAMBURG — Glannant Ty Publishing has announced the release of Michael J. Ganas’s new novel, "Dolphin Riders", the sequel to his award winning 2008 novel, "The Girl Who Rode Dolphins".
Eight years have now passed since former Navy Seal Jake Javolyn met up with Destiny and the pod. Their dream to construct Aquaria, a first of its kind sea colony that produces vast amounts of cheap, environmentally clean energy and protein-rich food staples from the ocean is now nearing completion. They have taken an otherwise barren sector of ocean and turned it into an oasis of life, with the potential of ending the use of carbon-based fuel sources once and for all and reversing the damage such reliance has inflicted on the earth.
But a shadowy cabal of ruthless global elitists are out to take control of the prospering colony and will stop at nothing to make that happen, including using the United Nations to end the threat it poses to their insidious financial interests. Allied with a newly evolved species of super-dolphin, Destiny, Jake and the colony must fight back if they are to survive.
As in the award-winning prequel, "The Girl Who Rode Dolphins", will mesmerize readers with explosive, heart-pounding action that will keep them on the edge of their seats and turning the pages in rapt fascination until the very end. This novel is guaranteed to open the eyes of readers, causing them to re-examine the world around them and ask the question, “Are we being manipulated?”
"Doldphin Riders" is now available in both soft cover and e-book formats on Glannant Ty’s website (www.glannantty.com), Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com, iBooks, and other online retailers. Galley copies are available to the media for review purposes on request.
A longtime resident of Vernon, Michael J. Ganas is a licensed professional engineer and the director of a leading marine engineering firm within the U.S. Following a tour of duty in Vietnam as a helicopter crew chief with the 17th Air Cavalry, he earned a degree in civil engineering from Cornell University. Shortly thereafter, his love of the sea prompted him to pursue a career as a deep-sea commercial diver, heading a wide array of marine construction projects. This eventually led him into his current occupation, which takes on the challenges of civil engineering in underwater environments.
Michael’s first novel, "The Girl Who Rode Dolphins" was first published in 2008, and has now been re-published by Glannant Ty in 2015. The book is the winner of seven book awards, and most recently was a runner-up winner in the Talking Category of the 2015 Animals, Animals, Animals Book Festival and an Honorable Mention Awardee in the Science Fiction Category of the 2015 London Book Festival.
