Critics Review

“An exciting and original intellectual quest … important new facts concerning the mysterious origins of human civilization.” * Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the Gods *“A magnificently researched work; its starling conclusions will undoubtedly reverberate over the coming decades.” * Nigel Jackson, author of The Horned Piper *“A fascinating piece of research which does much to bring the biblical world of Eden back into the historical spotlight … a major contribution to the study of the genesis of civilization.” * David Rohl, Egyptologist and author of A Test of Time *“Tracking down angels both heavenly and fallen, Collins’ detective work takes him through entire libraries… . His conclusion is that we humans are not the first race to live on the planet. Reading books like this one can be as much fun as reading Conan Doyle or Agatha Christie.” * Barbara Ardinger, Whole Life Times, May 2002 *“A fascinating and in-depth look at … how actual events inevitably evolve into the stuff of indecipherable legend as centuries pass.” * Sandy Moss, The Daily Courier, June 2 2002 *
