Synopsis The Age of Ra by : James Lovegrove

The Ancient Egyptian gods have defeated all the other pantheons and claimed dominion over the earth, dividing it into warring factions. Lt. David Westwynter, a British soldier, stumbles into Freegypt, the only place to have remained independent of the gods’ influence. There, he encounters the followers of a humanist leader known as the Lightbringer, who has vowed to rid mankind of the shackles of divine oppression. As the world heads towards an apocalyptic battle, there is far more to this freedom fighter than it seems...

Synopsis The Age of Zeus by : James Lovegrove

The Olympians appeared a decade ago, living incarnations of the Ancient Greek gods on a mission to bring permanent order and stability to the world. Resistance has proved futile, and now humankind is under the jackboot of divine oppression. Until former London police officer Sam Akehurst receives an invitation too tempting to turn down: the chance to join a small band of guerrilla rebels armed with high-tech weapons and battlesuits. Calling themselves the Titans, they square off against the Olympians and their ferocious mythological monsters in a war of attrition which some will not survive.

They’re recruiting former service personnel for excellent pay, no questions asked, to take part in unspecified combat operations. The last thing Gid expects is to find himself fighting alongside ancient Viking gods.

Synopsis Age of Shiva by : James Lovegrove

THE AGE OF WAR! Zachary Bramwell, better known as the comics artist Zak Zap, is pushing forty and wondering why his life isn’t as exciting as the lives of the superheroes he draws. Then he’s shanghaied by black-suited goons and flown to Mount Meru, a vast complex built atop an island in the Maldives. There, Zak meets a trio of billionaire businessmen who put him to work designing costumes for a team of godlike super-powered beings based on the ten avatars of Vishnu from Hindu mythology. The Ten Avatars battle demons and aliens and seem to be the saviours of a world teetering on collapse. But their presence is itself a harbinger of apocalypse. The Vedic “fourth age” of civilisation, Kali Yuga, is coming to an end, and Zak has a ringside seat for the final, all-out war that threatens the destruction of Earth.

Synopsis Heir of Ra by : Maciek Sasinowski

An excavation of the fabled Hall of Records beneath the Sphinx unleashes an ancient disease that leaves Alyssa Morgan's father fighting for his life. As seventeen-year old Alyssa races to find a cure, she stumbles onto an impossible artifact that could unveil the link between the traceless disappearance of Atlantis and the birth of Egyptian mythology. She finds unexpected help from Oxford University student, Paul Matthews, and brilliant computer geek, Clay Obono. Together, the unlikely trio uncovers messages concealed in the relic, catapulting Alyssa into the mind of an Egyptian god. The story unfolds in two parallel timelines separated by millennia that provide the accounts of two distinct, yet ultimately linked characters: a young boy, Horus, who was exiled from his island home of Atlantis and rises to become worshipped as the falcon-headed god, and young Alyssa, who relives his memories stored in the artifact. The current and ancient tales intertwine as Alyssa evades ruthless adversaries set on conquering the power within the artifact, and she discovers the value of Horus's hybrid blood and its connection to the ancient disease. The plots crescendo to a climax beneath the Sphinx, unveiling the origin of the mystical statue and the startling truth about Alyssa's birthright.
