The Old Gods were ancient myths and legends from a time lost. But now there are whispers that they may rise again… A mysterious energy hurtles towards Earth. Flummoxed and frantic, the scientists draw up their conclusions. Suddenly Dr. Vincent Trevelyan finds himself working with a secret group called the Organisation. Very quickly, Vincent’s world begins to unravel. One hypothesis for these strange events is based on his missing uncle’s research. Edmund Trevelyan’s seemingly unimportant manuscript on the Old Gods, suddenly becomes the key to discover answers. In a race against time, Vincent and the Organisation must embark on a voyage to stop these great and ancient beings before They take over the Earth once again. Dawn of the Old Ones by John Glasby is a page-turning novel, masterfully merging science-fiction and fantasy.
