Paul Phillips just wanted to spend a nice night shopping with his girlfriend, but what he found inside that old antique shop changed his life. Now he was Myke Phoenix, superhero protector of Astor City, and lining up against the Forces of Evil in the World. Not even he knows how he inhabits the indestructible body of a long-dead warrior - all he knows is the fate of the city, the continent and perhaps the world depends on him. In THE ANCIENT WARRIOR, a ruthless crime boss sets his sights on destroying the radio talk show host who has targeted his empire, along with the stalwart news reporter who has been telling the story. This is a city that needs a hero, and the answer comes in the form of a long-lost legend and a mysterious bird out of myth.
