FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE we were never meant to discover!

Ancient Alien Theory Gone Wild!A NEW KIND OF SCIENCE FANTASY SERIES.WINNING 45 AWARDS!
Myths and Legends...
…Just fables and fantasies for those taught to scoff at them, as I was when a graduate student in the sciences; scorn and ridicule the forbidden. Myths are just... myths. Legends are just... legends. Relentlessly declared as academic and professional “truths.”

Then, I discovered different…
...In a South American dig where my life went upside down after finding what should not be with what we thought we knew so much about. My consciousness, my Light, plunged through a maelstrom bound to those in our undiscovered history.

I witnessed through the eyes of ancient warriors, Rogaan and others, a wondrous human civilization of old… First Man, brutal beasts, deadly dinosaurs, and ancient gods of myth… Mesopotamian, Egyptian, and more… in what the modern Hopi, Mayan, and Hindu beliefs brand as our First World-Age.

An age deep in blood and conflict born of mighty gods and First Man, both covetous of true powers and self-motivations, loosing upon their world… tyrannies, force-energies... majiks, and abominations affronting Creation. Sealing the fates of the age, sword-messengers, warrior angels, risen new to bring forth the Harbinger of Creation's Judgments, slayers of civilizations... both men and gods, the Dreaded Horsemen.

I am bound to them… In the here and now, standing at the precipice at the end of mankind's Fourth World-Age. I fear what is to come from their burdens... the Horsemen of Prophecy. And yet, I have hope for what follows. As our ancients did in tablets of clay and the emerald crystal tablet teaching us our undiscovered past, I Nikki, now share these epics with you before the sounding of the trumpets.

Bolivia, 2080s.

Nikki Ricks dedicates her life to scientific truth. So when the book-smart graduate student discovers a perfectly preserved blue-steel sword among the fossilized bones of a Cretaceous-era dinosaur, she struggles to accept what should be an anachronism. And when the ground gives way, she finds herself plunged into the memories of a prehistoric young man.

65 million years BC.

Rogaan yearns to claim a place among his tribe’s heroes. Already a skilled archer and metalsmith, he chafes at his father forbidding him from his planned foray into adulthood by joining the town hunt. Defying his family’s command and going anyway, the brash would-be warrior reveals a forbidden weapon… and draws the attention of an assassin.

With Nikki torn between her physical body and her mental journey, she grapples to hold on to the logic of reality… despite a fierce conviction that a mystical doomsday is looming. And as Rogaan fights to dodge death from a powerful sect, he realizes the world is more complex and dangerous than his wildest imaginings.

Are the tangled senses of this strange pair fated to bring about the end of mankind?
