The Background to the Adventures

As the series unfolds, you will encounter a wide range of topics that you might wish to explore in more detail. From here, you can follow the links in the left menu to find out more about:

The horoscope - which crystals relate to which signs? What order do they have to be collected in? Which are Earth signs? Which are Fire, Water and Air signs?
The crystals and the powers that they contain. Not all will be revealed until James, our hero, finds out more. In the quest, the crystals come from ancient Atlantis ten thousand years ago.
Atlantis - Ten thousand years ago the wise men of ancient Atlantis deliberately hid the powerful zodiac crystals, to prevent them falling into the wrong hands. With them the user has the power to control the world and its people. If the Dark Zodiac goes through time and gets all twelve crystals in the correct order, then they will have the power to take over the modern world and enslave everyone. Enslave them in order that their mysterious alien masters can secretly take large numbers of humans as a regular source of food!
Aliens - Who were the aliens and what did they look like? Where did they come from? What do they really want? How had they discovered the earth? How had they uncovered the secret history of ancient Atlantis? How had they uncovered the mystery of the crystals? How did their ghostly time craft work? And if they are so superior, why did they need the Dark Zodiac to do their dirty work? Why not get the crystals themselves? How had they discovered the Egyptian coin, with the crystal locations on? How had they contacted the secret society in the first place?
Time Travel - In the stories the rival characters have several means of time travel. But you will have to read the books to get the answers. Alien technology, ancient fossils, time bursts, location Jumps and flying saucers all play their part!
Dark Zodiac - Secret society and its genetically enhanced super humans who are desperate to get the 12 zodiac crystals which are scattered throughout time. In return for their obedience, the aliens had loaned the Dark Zodiac the secret of time travel to help get the crystals. How had the Dark Zodiac been formed? Who was their leader? Where was their headquarters?
