Whilst the storyline is fictional (or is it?), the premise behind the tale is certainly thought-provoking. See review;/h2>
Could it be that you and I are descended from an alien race of people who came to Earth as refugees. Colonisation is not new; it has been going on for centuries and within the last three hundred years, Australia and Africa experienced colonisation by Europeans.
Thaddeus was finding that his world was not what most of those who lived in it thought it was. There was a truth that was not evident. There were factors that in the most part were unbelievable.
It can be argued that modern history began just six thousand years ago. For over two hundred thousand years before then, people had not progressed beyond hunter and gatherer? Did people suddenly decide to change or did something intervene? Before then our history was scratched onto cave walls. Is it a coincident that written history and religion seem to parallel each other? The argument between science and religion regarding creation has long been contested. Both can't be right, or can they? What if there is an explanation?
Some people know the answer. One such is Thaddeus Reader, who finds himself as the connection between ancient men of this world, and the others who consider themselves the dominant species. His people came as refugees. Driven from their home by hunger and room to live, they found here the things they needed, but at a cost.
They found a population with ideals completely different to their own, and their creed was not to interfere but to blend in. They were told to suppress their influence until the time was appropriate; but something went wrong.
Thaddeus was driven by dreams and thoughts from deep within his mind that connected him by fate to one of the last true indigenous people of Earth. Thaddeus is compelled to find them, and his journey takes him around the world and through history, to the last continental landmass to be discovered on this planet.
Here he finds the answer to the dreams that have haunted him all his life, and a woman to replace a love tragically lost to him in his youth. This combined with a surprising conclusion presents a novel of adventure romance and intrigue.
Action drama and romance and what happens when people of different races conflict. People flee their homelands for political or personal reasons; imagine that a whole world population decides it is time to move -- what might happen?
The albatross glided on silent wings, its eyes taking in the players on the stage of the ships deck it noticed the figure standing alone by the railing, and several other performers wandering The deck beneath the rigging of the small sailing vessel.
