All goes well until, in a sudden nasty surprise, he discovers his nemesis stalking him, intent on revenge and seizing the prize. And as we all know, humble Atlantis is destined to be a prize indeed. Seven centuries later, with an industrial revolution booming, ice and landlocked Atlantis seeks world domination, but Sethnia blocks the wealthy eastern trade route. Adventuring Sethnic brothers Hahm and Japeth are stunned to encounter an expedition of Atlantis warships in the Red Seaand to be enslaved aboard steamship Eagle, embroiled in war. But much worse is yet to come! Is this scenario all fiction, or do recent scientific findings point toward an entire lost prior-history? Are we living on an alien planet, and was the real Earth destroyed 11,000 years ago? Discover answers to ancient riddles concerning the frozen mammoths of Siberia, the Genesis deluge, Atlantis, and the extinction of Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal man. Marsden takes the reader on a wild fictional ride but integrates a detailed scientific appendix that provides eye-opening insights into ice-age geophysics.
