The Underlying Hand

A thought provoking and adventurous interpretation of ancient history

Historical fiction combines with conspiracy and modern genetics, reinterpreting so many of our long held truths and leading to far reaching ideas including the origin of mankind, what happened in Eden, 'the sons of god' and the cause of The Flood.
This book is the first installment of a series that follows the staid but interesting refugees of Marduk led by their king Jova and the children from his three wives. Numbers greatly depleted and their future threatened during the journey, their technological advancements and longevity are of little avail in a barren and primitive environment - Earth. A catastrophic accident forces a compromise amongst the sibling trinity that leaves their fate dangling and hints at far reaching effects into the present and beyond - to be played out in subsequent books of the trilogy.

Packed with interesting characters, exciting scenes, fantastic backdrop and a mesmerizing storyline, The Underlying Hand: Book One of "The Divine Chronicles" is an absorbing read with ideas and possibilities that will surely remain with the reader and cause much debate, delivering a marvelous, and sometimes bone-chilling experience along the way.
