Lords of Kobol Series

Thousands of years before the Cylons destroyed the Twelve Colonies and the Battlestar Galactica led a ragtag fleet to Earth, the Lords of Kobol lived among mankind in peace and harmony. Zeus, Hera, Apollo, Athena, Ares ... the gods provided and the people worshipped. But who or what were they? Humanity has reached the pinnacle of their civilization, thanks to the Lords. Once they've reached the top, what is next? After three millennia, are there some subjects eager to be free of the Pantheon's rule? Are the Olympian overseers weary? Are there others who deny the gods' divinity in the first place? Partake in the fruits of Utopia and observe Kobol at its peak. See Pythia encounter divine inspiration. Watch as the Thirteenth Tribe is born. Gaze upon the seeds being sown for mankind's eventual departure from paradise ... Fans of "Battlestar Galactica" and "Caprica" can't miss the first book in a trilogy detailing the ancient history of the shows we love. There is a Plan and questions will be answered.

Following the exodus of the Thirteenth Tribe and the dissolution of the Olympic Council as depicted in "Book One: Apotheosis," "Book Two: Descent" finds the gods scattered about Kobol. Apollo, though, is urged to confide in one man the true story of the Pantheon. You now know what the Lords of Kobol are. Prepare to learn whence they came. How did they gain dominion over mankind? In "Book One," the words "Draco" and "Prometheus" are cursed whispers from the past. Who were the Draco? What did Prometheus do? And what of "The One?" Where does "it" fit into all of this? See the gathering of the Twelve Tribes under Mount Olympus. Watch as the Great Flood nearly wipes out the gods' early followers. Behold the Lords of Kobol, hefting great weapons and arrayed in gleaming armor, take to the battlefield against their enemies. Gaze upon the seeds being sown for mankind's eventual departure from paradise ... If "Book One: Apotheosis" was a slow-burn introduction to this world, the continuation of the story from "Battlestar Galactica" and "Caprica"'s distant past is an emotional and action-packed roller coaster ride. There is a Plan and questions will be answered.

After more than five millennia, the dominion of the Lords of Kobol is at an end. In "Book One: Apotheosis," the Thirteenth Tribe left and the Pantheon was split. In "Book Two: Descent," Zeus returned to assert his command and Apollo confided the history of the gods in someone he could trust. In "Book Three: The Final Exodus," the machinations of the messengers of The One come to fruition and ensnare the Olympians, the leaders of Kobol's nations, and their tools, the Cylons. See the decline of humanity and their utter stagnation. Watch as the technology they depend upon is used against them to terrible effect. Behold the Blaze, the launch of the Caravan of the Heavens and the fall of Athena. Gaze upon the seeds that have sprouted and the departure of mankind from paradise ... This is the epic conclusion to the saga of the ancient history of both "Battlestar Galactica" and "Caprica." There is a Plan and questions will be answered. (Note: This book also includes "Lords of Kobol - Alternate: Tales from Ancient Days," the alternate-history version of the events depicted in the trilogy.)

The universe of "Battlestar Galactica" and "Caprica" has gotten larger and the story of the "Lords of Kobol" isn't over yet. In "Book One," we saw the gods in their golden age. In "Book Two," we learned of their coming to Kobol. In "Book Three," their dominion ended and mankind fled their presence. Here, in "Prelude," we find them at their creation, the children of Titans. Zeus and the Olympians are just one part of a world populated by Cronus and his brethren, a Caesar bent on power and longer life, and metal Cyclops who cast off their shackles in the name of freedom. And unknown to any of them, The One True God and its Messengers seek to preserve humanity in the face of doom. This is the stunning prequel to all that has happened before and all that will happen again. There is a Plan and questions will be answered.
