Reseña del libro "Grail of the Secret Sun: Volume 1 (en Inglés)"
Only the Vampire Priests understand the Blood Moon Prophecy: "A drop of His blood fills the cup and brings the Blood Moon Dawn.""Lots of cool action and drew me well in." - AHF Magazine. I, Zosimyache, mercenary of ancient Greece, wrote this.I once asked Omacron what time seemed like for one who had survived for so long in a tumultuous world."Time is meaningless," he said."Then, what does have meaning?" I asked."Memory."This, then, is the story, as recalled by me and those few Rememberers who survived the last war on Earth.- from The Garden, final chapter of Volume 15: The Sea of Lost Intentions A cup wrought at Earth's birth, the Holy Grail is brought to Atlantis but lost. Memory is strangely affected, making people forget wisdom, forget history, forget their faith, even eventually forget to drink water, bringing man to the brink of extinction. But the eight Rememberers, Tantor, bastard son of Prince Tuma, Omacron (sometimes called Omah, Omaya, Om, O'Mally, Tom), Subrisa, (sometimes called Sabrina, Bri, Brina) and five others struggle through seven lives to find the Holy Grail and the Key, which together can generate enormous power, a power that can heal Earth. From the author: This tale is not entirely linear. It can best be likened to a wheel; you can choose a spoke and travel inward to the hub (Volumes), or you can explore each spoke in turn (Colours), travelling around the rim and moving gradually inward until you reach the hub.Another way to view it is like a tree. You might choose one branch and travel toward the trunk, or you might jump gracefully from the tip of one branch to another, exploring the canopy of the tree, gradually spiralling inward. In either case, eventually, you will reach the trunk and may even perceive its roots. It has been my experience that people's lives are not linear. Their journey is an inward one, to eventually meet other, sometimes the most unlikely, souls in a space that transcends time and space, indeed even lives. Consequently, you can read The Hole Inside the Earth by colour stream (red, yellow etc.) or by volume (which includes every colour in order). Indeed, even if you chose to read only one colour, you will still understand the story, although I recommend including Blue, which recaps the main elements of the other colours. The colour streams loosely correspond to the following periods, genres and story starting points: Green - Alternative History: Two Meso-American vampire princes seek the Holy Grail to save their race in AtlantisYellow - Alternative History: A vampire refugee from Ischian (alien) attack wanders from the desert in Ancient EgyptOrange - Military: 1947 race to recover the Nazi anti-gravity device 'Die Glocke' (The Bell) at the end of WW2Violet - Romance and Sci-fi: A couple try to negotiate a world where contaminated water makes people forget to drinkIndigo - Romance and Alternative History: A slave fights to save a Princess on post-apocalyptic Earth, where books are currency and Floyd is godRed - Sci-fi: A quantum AI and Grand Master vanish in a chess match held to avoid war, leaving a detective stumpedBlue - Sci-fi and Romance: The last human wakes up on a spaceship travelling away from Earth, but where is it going?
