When a chance meeting with an old man leads to a captivating story, the author is swept into a journey through time and the paranormal. Starting in 1966 at Oxford College, the story follows a professor's pet project to uncover a message that spans all of written history-a message from the devil himself. He leaned forward, "Do you believe in God?"I swallowed hard. This was not really something we talked about, and unlike now being an atheist wasn't all the rage. It was a personal thing."Professor?" He did not like my lack of answer."It's a simple question, young man. Do you believe in God? Or is what a little bird whispered in my ear untrue?"Before I could answer he slapped one of the piles. "...and I am wasting my time again.">"I.. Well... What does... Well no."He smiled a satisfied smile and leaned back a little."Good. Good. This is a good start. Honesty. Finally."He put his spectacles back on and opened up his calendar book to jot a note. He shoved a piece of paper across his desk and pointed at a line with his fountain pen. A rather large blot accumulated as he waited for me to take the pen. "Sign here."--- I met Simon-not surprisingly-at a cafe.

While writing The Sword and the Sunflower I often referenced a history of pain and suffering and catastrophe-of horrible times in which the Earth lost most of its inhabitants. What created the beautiful and wondrous yet dangerous world of Stojan and Anastazja was a long history of what occurred after an apocalypse. What happened was mostly a memory in my mind as I wrote. It was a place I dared not go. But I knew the story eventually had to be told. So, now I am telling the story of exactly what happened. The catastrophe, the deaths, the suffering. The tale of how the interlopers manipulated humanity and used their beliefs against them. You can now learn how we lost our technology, how we were made to rely on their wisdom-a wisdom that actually came from us. It is not a story of broad brushes but of intimate relationships, and how not people, but each person dealt with such a thing. What would you do if all your tech was taken away? If your loved ones were gone before you knew it? What skills do you have to survive-without a government, a military, or electricity. Are you ready for that? And what would you do if the saviors of the human race came. How would you react to The Saints? And what would you do if your world was turned Upside Down. --- Nik Tesic is the brightest engineer the world has ever seen. She's brilliant, powerful and decisive.
