About the Book

Long before words could be written, the stories of the brave Olympians were songs sung and poems told at special gatherings and on feast days. The best of these tales always seemed to include the deeds of our faithful messenger Hermes but somehow he never seemed to get the glory or the credit for it, even when he saved the day. This is a tale of toil, tragedy and temptation, love with a triangular twist. It is filled with a freak show of mutated monsters, glorious gadgets and awesome artifacts. This is our chance to see for ourselves how Hermes was the real hero of the Olympians. Let him mesmerise you with his music, Charm you with his caduceus, and carry you invisibly with him as he flies against the odds in his epic struggle against the evil Hades. Can Hermes find a way to save the tree of life? You had better hope he can, your afterlife depends on it!
About the Author: David was born a mercurial Thursday's child on the restless South Coast of England. His winged sandals have flown him for over three decades to follow a career as an Engineer in nine different countries, but he has always aspired to be a writer and during that time, he put together the ideas for a series of five books in the fantasy sci-fi genre. In 2008, he finally sat down and started to write the first of the series. Following Kurt Vonnegut's belief that every story should start from a question, his questions are many and he sets out to answer them in this first series: 1.If some of the characters of Greek and other ancient mythologies had really existed, what happened to them? 2.If there could once have been a civilisation which developed early in the History of our Solar system, what could have happened to it? 3.If the asteroids are the remnants of a fifth planet, what could have happened to it? The Trismegistus is an attempt to partly answer these questions. At times it becomes a historical Novel, at others it is pure fantasy and of course it cannot help exploring the scientific possibilities along the way! By necessity, mythology straddles history, science and the imagination. David has often struggled with the thought that this project could be an over-ambitious pipedream. He has written and rewritten parts of the five books several times, never quite satisfied with his work. Even though it is a work of fiction, he painstakingly visited most of the settings and sifted through all of the available knowledge about the myths on which the book is built. Perhaps his extreme self-criticism comes from the combination of a natal Scorpio sun and Virgo moon. How mercurial can a person get? Nevertheless a large amount of determination and drive may also be derived from his "Simian line": An unusual merging of head and heart lines on his right hand. He shares this feature with famous writers Henry Miller and John Steinbeck who also obsessively focussed heart and mind on their work. Writing about Hermes has been a way for David to break free from the shackles of reality that are his work in everyday life. By day, he deals with the hard realities of maintaining an underground railway in London. After work he escapes to places where only Hermes can fly.
