Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the Pegasus series comes the second book in a spellbinding fantasy series for fans of Rick Riordan and Shannon Messenger, in which Riley’s return home is short-lived and full of unforeseen danger. Riley thought that her adventure was over when she arrived back home in Colorado. Although she misses her dad, she’s back with her mom and brother and has caught up with her classes at school. Though Maggie, Pea, and her aunt have to hide in their basement apartment during the day, they are making the most of things and settling into their new life. But things get much more complicated when a gang of thieves plagues Riley’s neighborhood and her family takes in a group of children who don’t know about the Atlanteans living in the basement. To make matters worse, the Atlanteans are becoming gravely ill, and everyone starts to worry that they may not be able to survive so far from the island’s magic. As tensions escalate, their only option is to return to Atlantis—and face all the enemies they made during their escape, plus a few new ones.

Harboring secrets of his own, Promi teams up with a courageous girl named Atlanta and the two vow to save their land—and each other—no matter the cost.

Book excerpt: Prehistory's deepest secrets, at long last revealed... Flowing from Genesis Quest's groundbreaking global research, The Flood tells the wondrous but harrowing true story of Atlantis and the celestially caused disaster that laid it low. In The Flood 1: Escape from Atlantis, a beautiful but cheeky longhead Atlantean princess named Nena learns of impending global catastrophe. When her pleas to evacuate the island fall on deaf ears, she hatches an audacious plan to save civilization from the Flood. But then her Alban friend Nata is conscripted into Atlantis's vaunted military, inevitably to die in battle with savage man-eating giants or in the worldwide conflagration to follow. Will she face her deepest fear to save his life? In recreating lost chapters of human experience, this fantastic yet fact-based epic trilogy finally unveils the startling truth behind prehistory's deepest mysteries. Presented in Author's Asides dispersed throughout the storyline, our monumental scientific discoveries will shock the world. Learn the truth! Read the trilogy. Nonfictional sample, from Author's Aside #8: The unutterably horrific ramifications of this twofold theory concerning what happened to our planet during the multiphase disaster enshrined biblically as the Flood will dawn on you as this essentially true story plays out. For what has become clear to us, above all, is this:We do not live within a comforting Uniformitarian reality, an assumption that has undergirded most thinking in the natural sciences ever since Charles Lyell's Principles of Geology shaped these basic perceptions in 1830-33, despite what was even then a world of well-known contradictory evidence. Instead, we live in a Catastrophist reality, in which globally devastating events happen not just every several tens of millions of years, as posited by that theory, but rather every few thousand years. That is, such terrible occurrences not only can, but certainly will, happen again--and not necessarily in the distant future. And were a disaster like what's recreated in Books 2 and 3 to recur today, billions of people would die by tomorrow, and survivors would be left fighting for life in a new Stone Age. It is my firmly held conviction that the world needs to know this, if only so that we can collectively prepare for the next such event. Counterintuitively, the only way sufficiently to drive this point home, in making it "real" for millions of people worldwide, is by fictionally recreating these largely forgotten peoples and events not just in an epic novel, but also in a series of blockbuster 3D films. For it is only through vicariously living the journeys of its characters--including Nata and Nena, who were apparently real people--that audiences the world over can acquire the requisite frame of reference. In employing research-driven fiction to bring lost chapters of history so vividly to life, thereby revealing the latent but very real peril in which we all actually do live, with this work I may, in a sense, be forging a new genre of novelistic and filmic writing, one that transcends Science Fiction per se. Mindful that Jules Verne and H.G. Wells founded that proud genre through their cutting-edge late nineteenth-century novelistic forays into fantastic real-world subjects, the new one I may be said to be creating, in so intimately melding, in the early twenty-first century, these long-forgotten fantastic facts with fiction--in part by attempting to live my own fictional adventure, as told in my modern trilogy about finding Atlantis to follow this one, by forming a global research consortium dedicated to proving these things for real--might best be called Science Fact. Uncomfortably neologistical as this formulation might appear, it seems to me an apt appellation for what I and GQ are attempting to do.

Book excerpt: Ever since Plato created the legend of the lost island of Atlantis, it has maintained a uniquely strong grip on the human imagination. For two and a half millennia, the story of the city and its catastrophic downfall has inspired people--from Francis Bacon to Jules Verne to Jacques Cousteau--to speculate on the island's origins, nature, and location, and sometimes even to search for its physical remains. It has endured as a part of the mythology of many different cultures, yet there is no indisputable evidence, let alone proof, that Atlantis ever existed. What, then, accounts for its seemingly inexhaustible appeal? Richard Ellis plunges into this rich topic, investigating the roots of the legend and following its various manifestations into the present. He begins with the story's origins. Did it arise from a common prehistorical myth? Was it a historical remnant of a lost city of pre-Columbians or ancient Egyptians? Was Atlantis an extraterrestrial colony? Ellis sifts through the "scientific" evidence marshaled to "prove" these theories, and describes the mystical and spiritual significance that has accrued to them over the centuries. He goes on to explore the possibility that the fable of Atlantis was inspired by a conflation of the high culture of Minoan Crete with the destruction wrought on the Aegean world by the cataclysmic eruption, around 1500 b.c., of the volcanic island of Thera (or Santorini). A fascinating historical and archaeological detective story, Imagining Atlantis is a valuable addition to the literature on this essential aspect of our mythohistory.

Book excerpt: In the remote past, the legendary lost continent of Atlantis existed as a temporary laboratory for the intervention by sentient visitors into the evolution of Terra. The invading Atlanteans brought with them the alchemical panacea which they modulated magically in their magnificent diamond Temple, then introduced medically to the indigenous creatures of the planet, the intent being to improve their DNA, particularly that of the natural hominids. The esoteric plan, revealed through the musings and memories of Lynci, an Atlantean Princess, was to produce of Terra the Philosophers' Stone through the magicians' inspired performances of the Magnum Opus in Projectional Atlantis...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the early days of the movies, "cavemen" have been a popular subject for filmmakers--not surprisingly, since the birth of cinema occurred only a few decades after the earliest scientific studies of prehistoric man. Filmmakers, however, were not constrained by the emerging science; instead they most often took a comedic look at prehistory, a trend that continued throughout the 20th century. Prehistoric humans also populated adventure-fantasy films, with the original One Million B.C. (1940) leading the charge. Documentaries were also made, but it was not until the 1970s that accurate film accounts of prehistoric humans finally emerged. This exhaustive work provides detailed accounts of 581 film and television productions that feature depictions of human prehistory. Included are dramas and comedies set in human prehistory; documentaries; and films and television shows in which prehistoric people somehow exist in historical periods--from the advent of civilization up to the present--or in extraterrestrial settings. Each entry includes full filmographic data, including year of release, running time, production personnel, cast information, and format. A description of each film provides background on the prehistoric elements. Contemporary critical commentary is included for many of the works.
