Leo Trevelion and the Lion Ring




Leo Trevelion and the Lion Ring: Tale of Turning 21 Takes Readers on One of the Best Sci-Fi Fantasy Adventures of the Year

Combining the science fiction of alien planets and advanced technology with the fantasy of magic, super abilities, and Mother Earth, Ian Flint’s novel shares the story of Leo Trevelion a 20-year-old who until now, led a mundane life in the South of England. But the moment he turned twenty-one life changes beyond his wildest dreams.


A debut novel that screams new literary talent, Ian Flint’s Leo Trevelion and the Lion Ring immerses readers in a tale of how Leo’s life transforms overnight. And a bit like Harry Potter, it ticks the ‘must read’ literary box for readers of all ages.


A character-driven, easy flowing and page-turning adventure that brims with high-tech underground dwelling, winged horses, wormholes, wizards, sea monsters and more, Ian Flint’s narrative exemplifies why this genre is on the literary ‘up’, while also providing a much-needed escape from these universally challenging times.


Having penned several screenplays in his early days, the author’s passion for writing never left him, and this accomplished first novel demonstrates the calibre of his abilities. More Leo Trevelion adventures please.


Synopsis:


Most people who know Leo Trevelion would agree he was an ordinary, though troubled, young man who had lost his way in life. On his 21st birthday, when the stories his grandfather used to tell him as a child start to come true, Leo’s life is transformed overnight.


In a hi-tech alien world, deep below the surface of the Earth, where the highly evolved Leonisians have lived undetected for over eighty-years, a rare planetary event threatens their very existence. After escaping annihilation on their home planet, they now face attack by their old enemy the Vraegil.


The Leonisians are passivists, ill equipped for war, and their survival depends on Leonisian elder Altera, and a wise old wizard Tirwald, awakening and transforming the last survivor of a guardian race – Leo Trevelion. As Leo’s mind is opened to ancient memories and magic, he is drawn further into the Leonisian world, and an adventure that involves an army of little people called the Norbun; a meeting with Dryan, Spirit of the Tree and the Soothsayers; a journey to the Ocean Layer to find the Architheus, a giant sea monster that guards the Armring of Light; and the revealing of advanced weaponry developed in secret by Altera and his scientists.


As the Vraegil appear through a wormhole that connects the two worlds, the battle for survival commences. But was it all in vain?


The book is receiving 5-star reviews:


"This book was recommended to me and although not my usual genre, I found the book a page turner, I couldn’t put it down until I finished. A gripping story that kept me entertained to the end. Now a fan of fantasy sci-fi!"


“A Great Yarn - This was a mythical tale that transported you into another world. A real page turner.”

The Demiurge: A Hip Hop Conspiracy Fable


The Demiurge: A Hip Hop Conspiracy Fable


Imagine Menace to Society, The Matrix, and Disney Pixar’s Soul combined into a hard hitting hip hop style story featuring locales from Pomona, California to Tacoma, Washington all the way to the Philippines! This is like a mixtape of gritty street life like gangs, hookers, and drugs, combined with mind blowing conspiracy theories, frightening military coverups, and kissed with an underlying romantic love story at the same time! Imagine that this book actually uncovers the greatest conspiracy of all time! This is not hyperbole once you can see and comprehend the very real attacks upon humanity in the last few years and what is currently taking place behind the scenes now (As you read this!) that threaten our very survival! In fact, this story may contain the most important message that any sci fi book can give to everyone who’s currently alive before their number is inevitably called to go into “the light.” 

This novel reads like fast like a comic book but once it’s underlying message is truly understood then it becomes truly horrifying in scope. The Demiurge- A Hip Hop Style Conspiracy Fable. 

Step out of this world and into the hidden knowledge of our origins, our secret resets, and discover our ancient enemies who are behind it all. This is only part one of two books that will ultimately unveil what we have to do in order to defeat them and escape out of their prison!

Down The Well

 

Down the Well


"What type of reader could possibly want to venture into this madness? Fans of well-written, intense horror stories, as well as fans of psychological suspense novels. Those who enjoy literature that refuses to “dumb-down” to the lowest common denominator and aren’t afraid to step into the darkness. Or perhaps those who want to fling themselves headlong into the madness of mental health disorders and walk on that wild side for a while. If you dare to take on the journey that is “Down the Well” by Joseph Blackhurst, you’ll be blessed with an array of superb characters, a Hitchcockian plot unraveling at the pace of The Twilight Zone, and an abundance of chaos. " — Reader Views

In 2017, a town in rural Kentucky was found buried in a landslide. 
All of the corpses had pounds of soil in their stomachs—as if they tried to eat their way out of the ground. The police investigation uncovered a diary among the bodies that suggests the town’s destruction was an orchestrated massacre. Unfortunately, every person who reads the diary goes insane.

Now the transcript of the diary is made available in book form so you can assist with the investigation. Specifically, law enforcement requests your help tracking down the author of the diary—the primary murder suspect who has evaded capture.

Down the Well is the transcript of the diary, along with lawyer Joseph Blackhurst’s notes from his trip to Kentucky to interview witnesses. Of course, neither Joseph or fellow attorney Sahar Ayubbi were prepared for the possibility of a supernatural explanation.

Joseph Blackhurst received his law degree from the University of Michigan Law School. He practices law in Chicago, Illinois, where he specializes in high-profile government investigations. He has made a full recovery.






The Atlantis Gene

 


The Atlantis Gene


There was a place once where man , the perfect creation, lived and thrived as a near perfect creature. Blessed by the ‘gods’ with advanced knowledge of science , engineering , astronomy, mathematics and medicine , this early culture lived an idyllic life on a remote volcanic island in the eastern Atlantic . There they enjoyed centuries long lives and were protected by their isolation from pestilence and were nourished by food raised on rich volcanic soil. These Atlanteans became great seafaring explorers who shared their gifts of knowledge with more primitive cultures ,advancing societies that would evolve into the great centers of knowledge, philosophy and science that would become Egypt , Rome, Persia, Greece and China. Legend has it that the island they called Atlantis was destroyed in a sudden cataclysmic volcanic explosion that totally exterminated all traces of that great culture. The truth be known, the eruption and explosion that wiped the island from history came slowly with seismic warnings and the people evacuated their leaders and knowledge on a great armada of ships which dispersed around the world to settle and mix with other cultures, creating advanced healthier societies. One group traveled West to a previously unexplored continent that one day would be called North America. There for hundreds of years they inbred with native tribes of hunter gatherers which then evolved into the great American Indian tribes . Modern researchers , aware of Biblical stories about patriarchal longevity that spanned multiple centuries to millennia, began researching modern pockets of extreme centurion longevity , seek a possible genetic reason , a longevity gene to create a super human . One group of Chinese scientists begin to pursue that knowledge with malevolent, evil intent. The accidental discovery of a ten thousand year old grave with fossilized human remains, a partial stone tablet with indecipherable writing , and a heavy gold and emerald inscribed ring with an ancient message on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in Montana,sets in motion events that will uncover the powerful secrets of The Atlantis Gene.
