The Crucible Theory

I think it’s time to let you know what  The Crucible Theory  is about. This is the Amazon title information that will accompany the book when it is released

“It can be argued that modern history began just six thousand years ago. For over two hundred thousand years before then, people had not progressed beyond hunter and gatherer? Did people suddenly decide to change or did something intervene? Before then our history was scratched onto cave walls. Is it a coincident that written history and religion seem to parallel each other? The argument between science and religion regarding creation has long been contested. Both can’t be right, or can they? What if there is an explanation?

Some people know the answer. One such is Thaddeus Reader, who finds himself as the connection between ancient men of this world, and the others who consider themselves the dominant species. His people came as refugees. Driven from their home by hunger and room to live, they found here the things they needed, but at a cost.

They found a population with ideals completely different to their own, and their creed was not to interfere but to blend in. They were told to suppress their influence until the time was appropriate; but something went wrong.

Thaddeus was finding that his world was not what most of those who lived in it thought it was. There was a truth that was not evident. There were factors that in the most part were unbelievable.

He was driven by dreams and thoughts from deep within his mind that connected him by fate to one of the last true indigenous people of Earth.

Thaddeus is compelled to find them, and his journey takes him around the world and through history, to the last continental landmass to be discovered on this planet.

Here he finds the answer to the dreams that have haunted him all his life, and a woman to replace a love tragically lost to him in his youth.

This combined with a surprising conclusion presents a novel of adventure and intrigue.

Action drama and romance and what happens when people of different races conflict. People flee their homelands for political or personal reasons; imagine that a whole world population decides it is time to move — what might happen?”

(end of text)

As you can see The Crucible Theory  is a book of fiction and it is has action drama and romance and is  about what happens when people of different races intermingle. I’ve given it a science fiction slant so that it has a little more impact, but it fits what is happening in the world today as people flee their homelands for political or personal reasons. Imagine that a whole world of people decide it is time to move  and what might happen.

I’ve been asked where I got the idea; well it’s been running around in my mind for about fifteen years, while I wrote two other novels. Being how it was and trying to make a living I didn’t take the time to try to publish it and then Amazon came along.

I’ll post again when the book is published with the first few pages.

Until then all the best for the coming holidays.

From me and my family, to you and yours.

And if your wondering about where the coming year might take you remember what Ralph Waldo Emerson Said

“Do not go where the path may lead: Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”

The Albatross glided on silent wings, its eyes taking in the players on the stage of the ship’s deck. It noted the figure standing alone by the railing, and several other performers wandering the deck beneath the rigging of the small sailing vessel. It swooped gracefully past a sailor going about his chores, high in the confusing tangle of ropes, canvas and wood. In a wide swinging loop it came back down the other side of the ship, and there being nothing more to see, with an imperceptible movement of wing and tail feathers, it disappeared into the blue vastness of sky and ocean.

Thaddeus Reader stood leaning on the rail, feeling the slow movement of the vessel — remembering; the girl so young and innocent and so alive, with the vitality of youth in full bloom, willing to give him all she possessed, and yet taken so quickly from him. And the other, strong and mindful, who saw in him the same as did the first. Both women had given themselves to him and had loved him. Those memories now locked deep within that part of his mind that guards such treasures, to be cherished for the rest of his life.

“It is a beautiful morning isn’t it?” The voice jolted his reverie, and he turned and looked upon a face he had just seen in his mind’s eye, the face he had thought he would never see again. The shock drove his voice from his throat as he gazed upon the woman; a beautiful woman, whereas the other had been still a girl. Though this woman could be no more than perhaps twenty years old, she had the bearing of one who had seen life. His brain refused to believe what his eyes told him; he was looking upon the face of his first love, the girl he had lost so quickly all those years before, and of whom, only this minute he had been thinking.

I realise that you don’t know me from that other guy over there. So lets tell you about myself and this blog.

I’ve been writing most of my life, this novel is not my first but it is the first that I have published.  Story telling as you know is an art, I don’t claim to be the best at it

but I probably enjoy it more than most.

Imagination is something we all have, some of us have more than others, some of us get the chance to use it and share it, some of us don’t ever put it to any use whatsoever.

Well my imagination has brought me here and I am waiting on the first copy of this novel.  I believe it’s in the mail, so will keep you posted.

This is the blog site of Milton Reid.  Being such a new site there is not much here yet.

Milton
