THE GODS OF ATLANTOS SAGA An epic telling of the first advanced civilization on Erthe...born in love, only to annihilate itself through greed, corruption, and its obsession with technology. The cataclysmic destruction of the "Lost Continent" is a myth known to everyone - young and old, in cultures world-over. But it is not a myth. No one has been told the origins story, the forbidden history, followed the lives and loves of the gods who were not really gods at all...until now. AVAILABLE SIMULTANEOUSLY, The five volumes of The Gods of Atlantos Saga allow you to "binge-read" the epic adventure of Erthe's first and most brilliant civilization, straight through to the planet-wide apocalypse that ended it all. "TREMENDOUS...EXHILARATING...These qualities, and the sheer sustained craftsmanship of the author from first page to last, combine to make Atlantos a brilliant read. But beyond that, this unique novel offers a plausible, completely unexpected explanation of the Atlantis mystery, and with it some real food for thought for anyone interested in the secrets of humanity's forgotten past." - Graham Hancock, New York Times and international bestselling author of Fingerprints of the Gods and America Before "A SCIENCE FICTION MASTERPIECE! Lost civilizations. The manipulation of human evolution. Monsters, and a high tech colony on Mars. What else can anybody ask for? Atlantos is an instant classic." - Ronald Shusett, writer-producer of "Alien" "Total Recall" and "Minority Report" "Robin Maxwell never fails to amaze me. From a reigning queen of historical fiction to the adrenalin-rush of Jane's beloved Tarzan, she dominates the page. Now, with Gods of Atlantos Maxwell infuses historical and science fiction with literary brilliance, creating a smashing new genre. I love these books!" -Michelle Moran, national bestselling author of Nefertiti and Cleopatra's Daughter "IF YOU FANCY TITANIC STRUGGLES at the dawn of history, then strap yourself in for a vivid re-imagining of one of our oldest and most mysterious legends. I love living in the worlds Maxwell creates. She has written a "Unified Field Theory" of Atlantis.- Christopher Vogler, International bestselling author of The Writers Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers WHO ARE THE CHILDREN OF RA? The thirteen descendants of Horus, Ra, and the Atlan Shore People are not really gods at all. 12, 000 years ago on Erthe and Mars, these siblings and cousins - the "Prime Family" - are living the most human of lives. Like all children they are at odds with their celebrated parents, struggling to find their way in the utopian paradise of Atlantos City, and the quickly disintegrating Marsean mining colony beset by monsters and inter dimensional aliens. Whether lovers of Terresian "technos" or the Great Mother Goddess, they are a tight-knit family and intimately connected with each other while they're young. Each of the ten twin sons of Cleatah and Poseidon on Erthe find their passions early: Atlas, a techno-geek, Geo, a cartographer, Siris, a builder, Sidon, a sailor. Isis, Poseidon's only daughter, with his Terresian colleague Talya Horus, is devoted to horses first, last and always. Giza, Talya's only son with the Erthan Shoreman, Boah, is a brilliant student, while Athens's only child, Athena, a technologically and sexually precocious girl growing up in the Marsean Colony, starts early as a playwright and impresario. The one thing they share is their rightful place as luminaries of the first advanced civilization on our planet.
