AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'An epic horror story. It has an historical theme, the real attempt by 16 th century Spanish explorers to discover the Terra Australis Incognita, King Solomon's mines and the secret of eternal youth. The protagonist, an amnesia victim, is coerced into astral travel experiments that propell him into the past. He experiences a tremendous adventure, witnessing an alchemist explorer's quest that takes us from Spain to the Americas before crossing the Pacific to the Islands of Solomon. And while our astral travelling hero witnesses all of this, he himself discovers the secret of his own true identity.'
