• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Ancient Aliens, the Greek gods and Ancient Man meet in an epic confrontation that spells the end of a world, six thousand years ago.

"The strangers came, and they were not like us. Something else, but wearing the skins of men, the eyes of men, their hands..."
Ishur Ninku, writing in Sumer, Mesopotamia, C4000 BCE

On a planet at the far side of the sun, Anthea, cast out of an isolated colony of refugees from the old world, shelters from a firestorm of meteorites falling into the sea. A fearsome creature struggles out of the surf, but she goes to help and gazes into the face of an angel. This is Phoebus, the vanguard of an angry race who were abandoned by her own elders millennia ago. The gods are returning to cleanse her world prior to colonisation.

Their arrival also triggers a countdown on an alien artefact, given to Anthea as a child, and a chain of events that can only lead to deadly conflict. The amulet holds the key to salvation, or her own death, but will her elders and the Gods listen to reason before their civilisation is obliterated?

This story is based on the theory that humans evolved somewhere else in the universe, and colonised our own planet in pre-history. The intervention of these 'Gods' is detailed in all ancient cultures. In this instance we explore the foundation of the Greek myths and the ancient Greek alphabet, but also explain the strange structures and battles that have left marks on our land even to this day.

Autorenporträt

Robert Wingfield used to sleep in the technology department of a large organisation between 9 and 5 each day, (except on Fridays when they woke him at 4 and sent him home early), but he finally got tired with this taxing routine and left his job for good. A prolific writer, to date he has over twenty works, electronically and in paperback, available through various outletsall can be tracked through www.robertwingfieldauthor.co.uk.

His work covers several genres:
Satirical sci-fi novels, 'The Dan Provocations', hopefully having you laughing out loud (or cringing, when you realize how closely satire matches reality).
Gothic chillers in the form of the 'Ankerita' series (The Seventh House) featuring a Tudor anchoress reborn in modern times.
Travelogues in the 'One Man in a Bus' series, currently cover Sicily, North Cyprus and Syros in the Cyclades.
Other short stories with a supernatural flavor ('The Black Dog of Peel' is free for you on this site).

For the younger reader, 'The Mystery of the Lake' and 'the Mystery of the Midnight Sun' have a Swallows and Amazons feel, and are suitable for even your grey-haired old great-aunt.
'The Adventures of Stefan' kick off with 'Stefan and the Sand Witch', a modern day fairy-tale, and 'Stefan and the Spirit of the Woods', an eco-fairytale.

For those who have elderly relatives telling them about embarrassing ailments, you need 'Everyone's Guide to not being an Old Person', a gentle satire on what people do when they get old, and how to avoid it.

For those struggling authors, he runs The Inca Project, a set of free resources to help you get your works into print. He also provides formatting and editing services through the project, to ensure you get the best result from your masterpiece. See www.incaproject.co.uk

He has written many reviews on management books and was a member of the Chartered Management Institute and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers when he was working and could afford the subscriptions.

His other interests include digital forensics, nature and building conservation, photography, and resisting emotional blackmail from his Labrador.
