Bücher der Reihe Whispers of the Past

Sam is employed by the Department of Conservation (DoC). His two mates are helping out. Their task is to clear out as many feral pigs as they can in the Tongariro National Park, which is located in the North Island of New Zealand. There are three major volcanoes within this park, so the culling of the pigs has to be done with great care as there are an abundant amount of thermal pools, mud pools and, of course, volcanoes. In the high country of New Zealand, the weather can be very fickle, going from warm to cold within minutes. The three friends draw even closer as they get caught up in a weather pattern with a difference. Mist, sulphur and rain envelop them and propel them back to the start of the New Zealand Wars of 1863. Three modern blokes, with all the paraphernalia of the 21st century, running around in the past, confused, lost, and trying to stay out of harm's way, once they realise where they are. Will they get home? Will they change history? Experience the history of New Zealand in an exciting story of the past and the present.

The creation and migration stories of the Native American and indigenous peoples that populate North and South America are broad-based stories of many places throughout the world. There were many indigenous people who entered North America from their emergent places in China via the Bering land bridge, those who came from the Scandinavian countries, some from the Pacific island of Mu, and those that entered from the lost continent of Atlantis. DNA samples indicate that some of these people are related by blood to the Asian continent, some that have the blond hair and blue eyes of Scandinavian people, with others having DNA that ties them to the Mediterranean countries of Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel and Portugal, whose origins are from Atlantis. All of these are interesting stories, as, according to the legends and myths of the Cherokee, Iroquois, Sioux, and others. When the ice sheets melted in the Pacific area, the island of Mu was covered by water forcing the Aztec people to flee eastward by boats. At the same time, the Atlantic Ocean rose and covered Atlantis. The people were forced to leave, some going east and some going west. Thus, we have people in Canada called First Nations, the many red-skinned people of the United States areas populating North and South America, but not originating from here. The Great Lakes areas have the Chippewa, Menominee, Ojibwa, Oneida, Potawatomi, and other tribes living there. What brought them to where they live now? These legends and myths tell their stories from their own storytellers. That is why this book was written after When the Spirits Move, which told the story of the Hopi, Acoma, Pima, Papago, and Zuni, and others who profess to be Native Americans. Please enjoy reading the book as much as I enjoyed writing it.
