When I was younger I was a psychiatrist as well as a rug collector and dealer. I traveled to the East to learn more about carpets and the people who made them. I was exposed to cultures that preserved much from their past.
I developed an interest in how and why states form. I wanted to write books that explored the characters of people who created civilizations. I wanted to come to grips with what makes leaders tick. I suppose this comes back to my training as a psychiatrist.
The Orfeo series is designed for audiences young adult and up. Unlike some modern books set in the "heroic age" they have little sex and violence. I hope they convey the spirit of the Bronze Age and not our age!

The Wanderer's Last Journey: The Orfeo Saga Book 4 is another instalment in Murray Lee Eiland Jr’s interesting historical fiction saga. After helping defeat the Therans, Orfeo and Clarice visit the island of Malta where they are graciously received by the king. While strolling on the beach with Clarice, Orfeo is kidnapped by strange men. He is subsequently brought to the New World where he is hailed as the god Quetzalcoatl. Clarice is aided by good friends, Daryush and Semira, and they cross the unknown seas to rescue Orfeo. They are joined by Orfeo’s mentor, Zurga, the wanderer. Caught in the war between the Nastases and the Ixtlans, they try to escape but more troubles await them at home too.
The Wanderer's Last Journey: The Orfeo Saga Book 4 slightly mixes the Old and the New World in a continuing saga that revolves around the brave warrior Orfeo. The story is fast paced and filled with adventure. At the same time, it is also quite informative. This was a period when people believed the world was flat and new discoveries were being made. It gives us a glimpse of life in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Mexico. Above all, The Wanderer's Last Journey is a lesson in love, friendship, and loyalty. It portrays a world where greed, jealousy, and lust for power always threaten communities, but fortunately there is always enough good that triumphs in the end. That is, until the next conflict arises. Interestingly enough, all the women in this story are strong and powerful. Murray Lee Eiland Jr is certainly a master storyteller and I look forward to his next novel!
