AWARD-WINNING

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?

Join Nikki, a paleo-archeology graduate student suffering life altering events turning her life upside-down and sending her on the run from forces unknown as she learns of humanity's undiscovered and hidden history. A history filled with terrible tyrannies, deadly dinosaurs, brutal beasts, ancient gods, and heroic hearts as the origins of our End Times is revealed, answering the question, "What if all of our myths and legends are true?"

Back of the Book

Myths and Legends…just fables and fantasies for those taught to scoff at the misunderstood, as I was taught when a graduate student in the sciences; scorn and ridicule the forbidden. Myths are just…myths. Legends are just…legends. 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 of our undiscovered history. I witnessed through the eyes of ancient warriors, Rogaan and others, a wondrous human civilization of old, grand beasts and dinosaurs, and celestial gods of myth in what the modern Hopi and Maya branded our First World-Age. An age deep in blood and conflict born of gods and new man covetous of true powers and self-motivations loosing upon their world tyrannies, energy forces…sorceries, 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 of men and gods, the 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 the others…the Horsemen of Prophecy. And yet, I have hope for what follows. As our ancients did in tablets of clay teaching us our undiscovered past, I Nikki, now share these steel bound epics with you before the sounding of the trumpets.

A Reminding Note to You and a Humble Request

What if all our Myths and Legends are true?
The Primeval Origins® Epic Saga is revealed in two ages on the same timeline. This storyline spans from the first civilization of mankind on Earth to the not-so-distant dystopian future; seen through the eyes of Nikki and the memories of those she becomes entangled to.
The Prologue and Epilogue tell of the future story in the time of the late twenty-first century when our civilization is profoundly embroiled in political strife causing a deep divide amongst the peoples of Earth. This spawns troubles that leave human civilization standing at the precipice of Creation’s Judgment.
The main body of this book tells of the ancient story 65 million years ago at the time when First Man rose on Earth. They live in the Late Cretaceous where they struggle to survive deadly dinosaurs, merciless monsters of sinister making, and suffer at the hands of the ancient gods.
The Blue Steel Epics, books 1 through 4, are deeply seeded in the creation stories of our world’s oldest myths and legends…giving rise to the Four Horsemen and the Heavenly Hosts of our end times as told in the Book of Revelations.

"Wow, this book should definitely be made into a movie!" Ellie Midwood
Destruction echoes once again as this cycle approaches its end; another civilization achieves greatness only to descend into the abyss -- corrupted by the depraved, the self-proclaimed elite, the immoral…all of whom, in their undeserved arrogance and folly, offer only a fouling of the Light.
Light…the most precious of all Creation; the everlasting essence, bright in its majesty, strong in its endurance, indestructible to all that is known; the Light…in-corruptible except for the choosings of the mortal shell encompassing it.
Purity of Light is consequence of decisions made in the moments of each existence; choosing between Creation’s absence and Creation’s embrace, between selfishness and selflessness, evil and good; each mortal shell filled with Light is graced with the freedom to choose their path without Creation’s compulsion…’tis this essence of the struggle that stands in Judgment.
Only in the mortal struggle may the purity of Light be confirmed: in the pain of existence, the darkest of moments, in the clash between evil’s expedience and good’s sacrifice can the nature of Light be revealed; only in the raging inferno of turmoil stripping away all but the core can the true nature of Light be confirmed through Final Judgment.
When the Light is weighed, measured, and tried for breaking, only then can it be confirmed in Judgment to receive Creation’s Offering; or if found wanting, the Light must be returned to the mortal dust to be remade and tested once more.
Only the most pure may share presence with Creation’s Glory; only the most honorable, the incorruptible, and meek may wield a shadow of Creation’s authority; for the strength of the Light is not in the mortal but in the immortal, the everlasting: that unconquerable spirit of moral purity and honor, that bright inextinguishable Light containing all that is good in the cosmos must be found and confirmed.
It is my burden, my everlasting duty, and my honor to serve the usherings of Creation’s Judgments; to seek the most pure Lights of each civilization and confirm them for Herald service. In the smoldering dust and ash of all remaining, I shall sentinel the remaking of the next, to try in Judgment Humanity’s Light once again.

The Harbinger of Judgments
Prologue
Fossils and Finds
Swirls of lazy white mist floated on a chilly breeze, like frost serpents of lore intently slithering their way toward prey, passing over the tops and around the flaccid sides of the three olive twenty-man canvas tents where the dig team kept their equipment and fossil finds. Old and having seen better days, the tents were all the American Embassy in Bolivia could find in the area around Sucre. They were functional, though barely able to keep out much of the rain the team recently suffered. The rains left the tents damp overall and wet in spots–unfortunately they were where the fossils had been, forcing the dig team to repackage many of the already plaster-encased fossils. The repackaging was the job of several of the less-popular graduate students on the dig, overseen by a rather excitable professor.
Nikki Ricks slid her way across the slick packed dirt road running through the camp after having been woken out of fitful sleep by a call on her wrist-worn PDA. She had been up late reworking the plaster casts on the last of the large fossils and was hoping to get a few more hours of sleep before returning to the tent to prepare the smaller fossils and fragments for travel. The dig’s leader, Dr. Anders, had made the call, demanding her immediate presence at the excavation site then went silent and would not respond to her numerous attempts to return his call over her PDA. How she disliked technology and how it connected everyone to everyone else all the time, except out here it seemed. Despite her frustration of not knowing what Anders wanted of her, she welcomed the opportunity to get away from the constant monitoring of hers and everyone’s activities as the "Man" did back home.
Nikki thought Anders sounded anxious, but she wasn’t about to be his lap
