MANKIND'S GREATEST DISCOVERY … has been kept secret for a reason
THE ORIGINS OF OUR SPECIES IS NOT WHAT WE THOUGHT
But as all life on earth is threatened with extinction, that which has lain buried for millennia may yet prove to be mankind’s only hope …

"An ancient secret. A cataclysmic act of God ... humanity’s last stand."

In the near future Sarah Morgan, an English archaeologist, is in a race against time to prove the impossible: that an advanced human ancestor once populated the Earth. But there are those that will kill to protect this most ancient of secrets, and when Sarah finally gets the proof she craves it is cruelly wrenched from her grasp; but never one to lie down Sarah finds another path, a path that propels her into a quest that will span continents and change her life forever.

Simultaneously the world prepares for the arrival of 2011 AG5, an asteroid that will impact off the South African coastline with the force akin to the strike that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years previous. Humanity has long been planning for this colossal event and many preparations have been made to counteract its after effects in order to preserve the ever fragile global economy and civilisation itself. As the world holds its collective breath, below the surface government-run clandestine subterranean facilities are gearing up for the challenges ahead. These facilities are run by the gifted and ever mercurial Professor Steiner who has overseen a global programme charged with the preservation of mankind, as the clock ticks down towards zero hour his schedule is on track; however everything might not turn out as smoothly as he’d hoped…

Pulsating with heart pounding action, forbidden history, astonishing archaeological discoveries, hidden prophecies, conspiracy, intrigue, terror and more, the ANCIENT ORIGINS series has been tipped as the next big Hollywood movie franchise and will immerse you in a thrilling and terrifying world that might just be real …

“Thrills, suspense, action and adventure; this novel has it all. Relentless and fast paced Ancient Origins: Revelations will have you on the edge of your seat and wanting more!”

“Revelations - Indiana Jones with an Armageddon and Jules Verne infusion. Add a soupçon of Tom Clancy for an explosive journey of momentous proportions...”
