The Earth's True Children is a mythical tragedy featuring an element of science fiction/fantasy. Founded by a group of separatists who have become disenchanted with the decadence rife in the other six great northern city-states of the world, the citizens of Anaxagorus pride themselves on their crusade for knowledge and moral adherence. Hylax, the son of Heracon - the late but still revered pioneer of the city - has grown tired of government and seeks a simple life. Struggling to deal with his obligation to his father's legacy and his own feelings of disillusionment with mankind, he tries to find a way of satisfying himself and his people. But when his old confidant, Abenader, returns half-dead from the desert and a person dear to him is murdered, a conspiracy threatens to usurp his authority. Meanwhile, an age-old species has emerged from the confines of the earth. They have seen the future and know where man's corrupting and insatiable desire to plunder its resources will lead. A great conflict looms that could reshape the world entirely At once an intimate and epic study of power, set in a time akin to the ancient Greek era, 'The Earth's True Children' examines humanity at its best and at its worst. Warning: This is NOT a book for children.
