Readers will surely hold on tight as they read through the pages of Nichols’ “Epic Stars of Long Ago.”



Richard Nichols captures the hearts of young adult readers and adults alike with his charming religious tale, “Epic Stars of Long Ago.” The story centers around four young prodigies beset on the path to achieving great things. In the spirit of competition between the students, they will learn that to achieve greatness, some people will do everything.



In the accelerated class at a Christian Divinity School, the four gifted students compete with each other as they work hard to achieve top honors. The instructor, who is a renowned former student of the school, determines which among the four will win the prestigious award of “Archangel.” The Archangel is tasked to remain in the school to become a teacher-in-training, eventually achieving greatness akin to what their instructor has achieved.



Things take a turn for the worse when one of the students begins to question the methods employed by their instructor. Their methods for evaluation are deliberated by the student. When the student gets support from other students, the situation becomes volatile, disgracing the reputation of the school and threatening its closure.



The instructor, along with his superior, the headmaster of the school, must now do everything in their power to ensure that the school would maintain its glory. Together, they must ally themselves with all that is necessary to save the school and its reputation.
