Book 1

The Gatekeeper and The Guardian

by John Morris

Published 13 October 2015
The Gatekeeper and The Guardian, the first episode of the Star Gazer double trilogy, begins with the hero, Jack Barleycorn, being washed ashore on an imaginary island in the South Pacific. Set in the contemporary world of today, he discovers a branch of human kind long thought to be extinct.

The islanders have a Stone Age culture, but use an extremely advanced technology, one that was left behind by an alien race called The Ancestors. Later, Jack discovers other branches of the human line also survive, although we know of these from myth and legend as Elves, Dwarves, and Ogres.

A series of discoveries irrevocably alter his life, as this science fantasy, science fiction trilogy leads us to question both Darwinism and Catastrophe Theory, and offers an alternative explanation to our human evolution.
As the extraordinary tale unwinds, we are led to question our most basic assumptions about humanity: who we are, where we came from, and perhaps more importantly, where we are headed.

Book 2

The Twelve Tribes

by John Morris

Published 16 October 2015
The Twelve Tribes, continues the compelling story of Jack's life. The beginning introduces several new characters, most notably Kay, The Dark Elf. She and Jack discover much about the Ancestors, their spacecraft, and the history of all humanity. We learn the Ancestors created the Twelve Tribes of humanity in their own image, by cloning and manipulating their own DNA, and that of existing proto-human, homo habilis, and creating their first prototype, homo ergaster. The Shaman, an enlightened being, becomes more closely interwoven within the plot, as The Elven Prophesy indicates all Twelve Tribes must be reunited to save humanity from The Wrath of Gaia. The problem being, The Great Ogre, despotic Overlord of the Tenth Tribe, is determined to subjugate or exterminate all sentient life on planet Earth, and a series of battles ensues.

Book 3

The Wrath of Gaia

by John Morris

Published 16 October 2015
Imagine, the world Jack was born into, no longer exists.
Faced with the utter destruction of all life on Earth, can our heroes survive? The Great Ogre continues to wage war with all the other Tribes, confounding chances of survival, when the primordial forces of Mother Earth are unleashed upon a mainly unsuspecting human nature.

In a ripping yarn, The Wrath of Gaia depicts a vision of the end of the world, completely original, entirely believable, and based in geological evidence.
Amid fast-paced, spicy action, survivors struggle with their daily existence, displaying humour, and they are also led to question their deepest beliefs: Are religions innately misogynistic? What of the balance between Man the hunter, and Woman the creator of life? What greater evil, was evoked in the concept of `original sin’?
What is the nature of God—a deity, or was humanity created by an Alien race that came to Earth millions of years ago? That hypothesis, as presented in this book, is difficult to refute. Humanity has no common antecedent with the Great Apes. Did a race of star faring Ancestors create the missing link—create us? What is the elusive kernel of `original truth’ when it comes to our shared Humanity? What ties us together might also wrench us apart.
Once we know where we came from,
Once we know who we are,
How will we discover where we are ultimately going: Star Gazer, Second Trilogy…
