The Ruins of Rahab

-Mortal Instruments-
“I have not slept.
Between the acting of a dreadful thing
And the first motion, all the interim is
Like a Phantasma, or a hideous dream:
The Genius and the mortal instruments
Are then in council, and the state of man,
Like to a little kingdom, suffers then
The nature of an insurrection.”
-William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar-
Prologue
In the tradition of The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, Mark brings you the epic trilogy – the Kingdom of Heaven Chronicles. The first episode of the trilogy, The Ruins of Rahab, thrusts the reader into a fantastical world where fact and fiction collide. Race and his four feisty friends from Missoula, Montana, are on the brink of becoming participants in a forgotten epoch of fire breathing seraphim’s, elves, dwarfs, and giants; while at the same time discovering the genesis of Atlantis, Eden, the builders of the Great Pyramid, The Sphinx and many other archeological and astronomical mysteries.
With time running out on humanity, Race and his tenacious team from Pluto have only one opportunity to compete in the popular, but exceedingly violent, Galactic Pok-a-Tok Tournament held only once every millennia in a time before time. The fifth planet from the sun, Rahab, is the birthplace of the captain of Rahab’s undefeated Pok-a-Tok team – Lucifer, the Anointed Cherub.
Winning this competition is imperative, for the champion receives an amulet made out of stones derived from the four rivers of Eden that enjoy supernatural qualities. There will be little hope for mankind’s future without gaining an understanding of this talisman.
Enjoy a world where fact is truly stranger than fiction!
