Publisher's Summary:
Another chapter in the life of the infamous Phantom of the Opera, as penned by Gaston Leroux, continues when he leaves Paris and moves to Malta in search of a new beginning. Clothed in secrecy, he purchases The Royal Opera House in Valletta, which has been destroyed by a devastating fire. In an attempt to bury the pain of his past, the burned-out shell becomes his new obsession. He is determined to resurrect the structure from ashes and return it to glory.
To raise funds for his task, he holds a masquerade and encounters a strange woman who prophesies his destiny of undoing and death. Her words haunt the Opera Ghost, but he continues on his path of restoration. After years of hard work, the gala reopening occurs. The Phantom is convinced he has reached the pinnacle of success in his life. He rests in peace over his accomplishments.
For sheer amusement, he takes on a new student, which leads him down a path of romance, mystery, and danger. His fortune unfolds before him, and he discovers he cannot hide from those who seek retribution for his former sins. He is forced to reap the consequences and comes face-to-face with his darkest demons and fears. In the end, his insatiable hunger for beauty is challenged to the core. Will he survive the obstacles he encounters or will this finally be his undoing and death?

Keith L. O'Brien's voice gives life to the character of the Phantom. It is melodic and carries feeling of foreboding. It will capture your attention immediately and carry you through the story with a suspenseful yearning for more.

Phan-fic
I am a huge fan of The Phantom of the Opera, and as such I tend to return time and again to the story in its various forms. Much like Dracula (yet another favorite of mine), it's the story that launched a thousand "Phan-fic" sequels, as it seems that few people ever accept the open-endedness of the original tale. The problem with most of these sequels is that they all tend to fall into a very similar trap. The author becomes enthralled with the original or one of its many retellings (why else would you write a sequel?), but instead of bringing the menace and complexity of the Opera Ghost to the pages... many of them become slushy wish fulfillment.
