• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In 1258 Wazir Marzban saves the House of Wisdom, the great library created in the round city of Baghdad, from destruction by the Mongol army. In 2018 Professor Hakim Azzi seeks out Amanishakete and Sabine in London to help rescue the entire library that history had wrongly recorded was totally destroyed by the Mongol Horde.

But Azzi has already sold two documents from the House of Wisdom on the open market, starting a race between Wolfram von Sternberg a German Count and his son Paul, Edward Maltravers a less than honest dealer in antiquities and Amanishakete and Sabine, to find the House of Wisdom.

When the dimensional veil, created by Marzban to protect the House of Wisdom, goes wrong they all find themselves confronted by the Mongols in the year 1258.

Autorenporträt

Albert Einstein said that 'it is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge'. That was certainly the case with my high school history teacher, who brought history alive and started my fascination in Ancient and Early Modern history. There are countless mysteries that still remain unsolved and I have a real suspicion that we have lost or forgotten more knowledge than we have ever gained.

After a career in business, business support and as a trainer for Dale Carnegie, I did some consulting. It was a client who once said to me that 'I was a useful man to have around', based to some degree on my ability with the written word. When retirement loomed his words, my interest in history and a very patient and supportive wife encouraged me to 'put pen to paper' and with heart in hand resulted in my first book 'The Quest for Eternal Life', the first in the 'Last Librarian' Series. That was several books ago in a growing portfolio.
