Saga Artakusiad

Ever heard of Artakus? or Jundak (my buddy from KP call me by that name.. I'll tell u more bout it later)? Some of you might heard the name Ahmad Patria Abdullah. I read the whole 6 series of Saga Artakusiad when I was in form 2 or somethin (I can't recall correctly) and his works (the series) was simply magnificent. To think that he wrote those series with such style of literature, his high imagination, to me he's a great inspiration. After bout 17 years of silence, he came out and wrote the 7th series of his great masterpiece titled 'Lagenda Numerius'. Nice title huh? All his 6 series was never reprinted (officially) aeons ago and it's the rarest of the rare. To find the original print is somewhat nearly impossible and I'd even jerk my cousin off (the books I read belong to him, now I dunno where did he put those books and it've been years since I last saw him. I probably won't recognise him if he's infront of me) just to make him give me those rare prints he have. But, all hope is not lost and there's a website out there that still have the series up fer sale (although most of it are now a bunch of reprints, original copies are nearly extinct). Visit this website:

So if you never read it, or you nearly fergot how well done it's written, go order it online. Fer such a cheap price, you can get all the series and be glad that someone out there, a local man, have created such a perfect fantasy world which can draw you in its marvelous storyline, the thrill, tears and happiness by just simply writin it. It'll cost me nearly RM100 fer sure. But to think bout it, it'll be my priceless possession.

p/s: Oh, fergot to tell how the heck I was called Jundak in the old days. Well, some of us (my friends and my cousins) were so much into the story so we got nicknames from the characters contained in the series. Mine was Jundak coz they say his description resemble mine so that's the story. Yeah I know, not interestin at all huh? But heck they still call me by the nickname! Later
