內容簡介

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.

The Hole Inside the Earth is a multi-genre tale, spanning from the ancient past to the far future, whose genre strands gradually converge into an epic battle to save Earth.

See further down page for the list of genres and colours.

Tantor fell in love with his half-sister, Princess Subrisa, long ago in Atlantis, but she loved Omacron. Now Tantor wants revenge.

The myths of Atlantis and the Holy Grail, as well as War and Time Travel, all get new interpretations in this epic adventure.

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 as 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 genres:

Green - Alternative History: Two Meso-American vampire princes seek the Holy Grail to save their race in Atlantis
Yellow - Alternative History: A vampire refugee from Ischian (alien) attack wanders from the desert in Ancient Egypt
Orange - Military: 1947 race to recover the Nazi anti-gravity device ’Die Glocke’ (The Bell) at the end of WW2
Violet - Romance and Sci-fi: A couple try to negotiate a world where contaminated water makes people forget to drink
Indigo - Romance and Alternative History: A slave fights to save a Princess on post apocalyptic Earth, where books are currency and Floyd is god
Red - Sci-fi: A quantum AI and Grand Master vanish in a chess match held to avoid war, leaving a detective stumped
Blue - Sci-fi and Romance: The last human wakes up on a space ship travelling away from Earth, but where is it going?

Note: Due to a slight oversight on my part, for the transition phase between Part 1 and 2 (Chapter 6 and 7) it is best to read in the following order if you are reading more than one colour (this is taken care of if you read Volume 6 and 7): Green, Yellow, Orange, Violet, Indigo, Red, Blue.

Categories: Romance, Sci-fi, Holy Grail, Atlantis, Vampires, Alternative History, Military, Distopia, Magic, Wicca, Shifter, Ancient Egypt, AI, Android, Creation Myth, WW2, Die Glocke, Plague, BDSM, Crime, Time Travel
