The JC De La Torre classic is back and better than ever. In 2005, Ancient Rising introduced the world to Dan Ryan, the hunt for Atlantis and the Greek Gods. 

Called by reviewers as "breathless, moving at a breakneck speed" and "fast moving adventure that fits into the Clive Cussler/Dan Brown mode," the novel has become a cult phenomenon that endures. 

The author is re-releasing this novel as a companion to the 3D audiobook experience that features award winning radio theater personality Joe Bevilacqua and has been listened to around the world on Sirius/XM. 

This new version of Ancient Rising offers a tighter, better paced story and a new foreword by the author giving intimate background on the genesis of the Rise of the Ancients saga. A must for sci-fi readers and action/adventure enthusiasts.All Rights Reserved

Gods of Garran by Meredithskye

--Only an ancient power can fight an alien race.-- Once the Borrai, the Gods of Garran, walked among the people, taming the wind and the fiery mountains. Then invaders came from the sky and killed the gods--destroying all who opposed them. A hundred years have passed since the Invaders came from the sky--an advanced alien race known as the Chanden. Now, having suffered many grievances at the hand of the aliens, the tribesmen rise up to find the god-stones and revive the ancient powers of the Borrai--and reclaim their world. As a son of the clan chieftain, Morrhan can't do anything right. His father disapproves of everything he does. When his father decides to seek revenge on the technologically advanced Chanden, once again Moorhen finds himself in opposition to his father. The fate of his tribe hangs in the balance. Should Moorhen follow his conscience-or his father? Meanwhile, when the Chanden learn of the search for the god-stones, they send a spy to infiltrate the Garrans--a young woman named Asta, who has her own reasons for hating the Garrans. She begins to realize that they are dealing with a real power and not a superstition when they get close to finding the god-stones. Could the Chanden be in the wrong? ________ This novel is complete here on Wattpad. The Gods of Garran is available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback. http://amzn.com/B00FGLUI00 #theooohrahs #featured

Humanity's Journey by Gearin5

Prepare to embark on a journey that will challenge everything you think you know about humanity's origins. This extraordinary tale, guided by the wisdom of the Pleiadians, delves into the hidden history of Earth-one that's absent from textbooks and conventional teachings. Through this revelation, we'll explore the forgotten civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria, the ancient Anunnaki, and the extraterrestrial visitors who shaped our world long before recorded history. The Anunnaki, advanced beings from the fifth dimension, arrived on Earth nearly half a million years ago, not just to mine gold, but to alter the course of human evolution. Their influence spans millennia, from the creation of the first humans to the rise of monumental civilisations. As powerful, divine figures, the Anunnaki left behind a legacy of technological marvels and profound wisdom. Yet their presence also sparked internal conflict, biblical stories, and a complex battle for control over humanity's future. This book unveils a startling narrative-the real story behind the Genesis of humankind, the creation of the Nephilim, and the fall of the ancient Anunnaki Empire. It asks critical questions: Who are the true gods? What role did the Anunnaki play in our development? And why does this ancient knowledge remain hidden? Step beyond the boundaries of conventional wisdom and discover a history far more complex than you've been taught-one that connects humanity to the stars in ways that could reshape everything you believe about our past, present, and future.

The Halfbreeds of Atlantis (A Novel) by ProlixRemedy

When his fallen comrade's pregnant wife is marked for death, Ibris Mansa vows to protect her. But someone powerful is hunting the child for his genetic potential, and Ibris is determined to uncover the truth before it's too late. This story takes place on the ancient continent of Atlantis... yes, the one told in myths and legends. Before its fall, Atlantis is already rotting from within, where nobles thrive, animal- human halfbreeds are cast aside, and unchecked technology and an A.I. religion push civilization toward collapse. At the heart of this world stands Ibris, a bull halfbreed. Tall and broad-shouldered, with the horns of a beast and the defiance of a man, he was created to serve the elite of Atlantis but chose instead to rebel. Brutal in battle and reckless in vice, he bears his burdens with strength while drink, women, and danger seem to follow him everywhere. Now he fights for all genetically engineered halfbreeds, leading a resistance against those who would keep them shackled in servitude, discarded as nothing more than slaves and tools for the elite. "The Halfbreeds of Atlantis" is a science fantasy novel set in "The Third World Universe" created by author Sunny Ghauri, offering a fantastical retelling of the stories of Atlantis. This book is a prequel to "The Sky Gods of Atlantis."

The Sky Gods of Atlantis (A Novel) by ProlixRemedy

In this dramatic dystopian novel set in ancient Atlantis, prepare for romance, betrayal, and adventure. Atlantis stands on the precipice of chaos. In the floating Capital, a political coup shakes the continent to its core, threatening to unravel what little stability remains. As ancient technology collides with forbidden magic and a powerful A.I. religion tightens its grip, familiar faces and new players emerge to fight for a world on the brink of collapse. Among them is Inanna, a noblewoman who has spent her life in the shadow of her powerful Sumeri family. But when the empire fractures, she is thrust into a storm of danger, deception, and destiny. She finds herself drawn to Ibris Mansa--a towering, charismatic man with the horns of the sacred Atlantean bull, a genetically engineered halfbreed, rebel solider turned Underworld titan. Torn between the weight of her family's legacy and the pull of Ibris, Inanna must make choices that could reshape the world forever. With betrayal at every turn and the empire's fate hanging by a thread, Inanna and Ibris walk a treacherous path of power, passion, and peril. In a land where ancient secrets linger in the ruins and the line between machine and magic blurs, every decision she makes carries the weight of history itself. "The Sky Gods of Atlantis" is a science fantasy novel based in the Third World Universe created by author Sunny Ghauri. It offers a fantastical retelling of the stories of Atlantis. Though a sequel to "The Halfbreeds of Atlantis," it stands alone as a complete novel.

$The Labyrinth Through Camelot | {COMPLETED} by Ursula_Inc$

"So if we don't get there soon, we lose, right? We lose Merlin and Hera will end the world?" "Camelot will end, Greece will end... Even your own world will be gone." 'You knights are our only hope.' Luna's signing really sold it. If they didn't stop Hera soon, the whole world would end. "Alright.

The Knights of Camelot rule as kings and queens, the first since the death of the legendary King Arthur. Sharing the duties among the six of them and under the guidance of the warlock, Merlin, these teenagers travel between Camelot and the modern world, the first time travelers, to protect the land they've adopted as their own. The Goddlets are used to living in a world of their own. As the children of the gods, they are used to getting away with whatever they want. Not used to many changes in their quiet world, they aren't prepared for what comes next. When the Knights and the Goddlets are called together on a quest to save Merlin from the clutches of Hera, the queen of the Greek gods, two very different worlds collide in a race against the clock to save the world. With limited time at their hands and everything they know and love at stake, the Knights and the Goddlets team up to put an end to Hera's destructive reign. The worlds of Camelot and ancient Greece collide in this action-packed book. Classic characters meet new faces in a complete retelling of universes people both know and love. {Entered in the Open Novella Contest under prompt 83: "This assignment requires us to act like adults.
