cover:
Through myth and history, Morgan Llewelyn reveals the majesty of the Earth and the power of the elements.

WATER. The ice caps melt, the seas rise, and Kesair, a woman of Atlantis, leads a handful of survivors on a desperate search for land - and a new beginning.

FIRE. All the world centres around the empire of Crete, where Meriones, a humble musician, performs before the mighty in their palaces. Until the land shakes, the volcano speaks with a voice of fire, and Meriones finds his life changed foreveer.

EARTH> Old beyond imagining, the Earth knows neither hate nor pity. And from Annie Murphy, a strong-willed New England housewife, it demands a sacrifice both unexpected and irrevocable.

AIR. The ozone dwindles, the forests die, and new plagues walk the world. On a day just after tomorrow, another small party of survivors comes together on a desolate Indian reservation. As the ice melts and the sea rises once more, they fight one last battle for the Earth - for mankind and hope.

An interesting read, but it didn't really grab me. I've read better tales from this author. I know the point is our destruction of the earth, & it does give hope for a future existence, as long as one happens to be indigenous to the land of one's birth. Hmm!

Aha! Spied on Rosie's wishlist.

Sent to Mistlerose for the June SCBE.

Thank you very much. The books arrived safe and well today.

I look forward to reading this.
