You had better clear a block of time before you read this book, because you won’t be able to put it down very easily.
First, just a little bit about how I first became aware of Graham Hancock through his work ‘Fingerprints of the Gods’, which looks at the idea of an antediluvian civilisation of some sophistication that existed during the last Ice age. His more recent work ‘Supernatural’ is an account of how primitive societies used various techniques, including the ingestion of psychedelic plants to achieve altered states of consciousness. After laying a solid foundation ‘Supernatural’ goes on to examine some of the strange myths and legends present in all societies, such as the presence of ‘little people’, and ‘alien abduction’ experiences. In ‘Supernatural’, he seriously entertains the possibility that the perceptions of people in altered states are actually of independently-standing realities in other ‘dimensions’.
Much of the knowledge he has amassed in his previous scholarly and investigative works, has been put to good use in Entangled and the result is a captivating and fantastic tale that is filled with action, as well as being thoughtful and philosophical.
From the Entangled website:
Time is not what it seems…
When a drug overdose causes Leoni, a troubled teen from twenty-first-century Los Angeles, to have a near-death experience, her soul is lifted from the modern world and flung into a parallel time 24,000 years in the past. There her fate becomes entangled with that of Ria, a young Stone Age woman fighting for her life against the ferocious Illimani, an army of evil led by the vicious Sulpa, a powerful demon determined to destroy humanity.
As the invaders annihilate Ria’s people, inflicting torture and human sacrifice, Sulpa moves ever closer to his ultimate goal: to manifest physically in the twenty-first century and condemn all of mankind to perpetual slavery. The hour is late and any chance of stopping him seems lost. But there is still hope, if Leoni and Ria can rise to the challenge fate has set them. Uniting outside the flow of earth time, they must venture forth into regions of wonder, master their own deepest fears, and fight battles they could never have prepared for, if Sulpa is to be defeated…
I am looking forward to the sequel, which is already being written.
