Children of the Sun R Matthew Simmons

These are the words that span lives over thousands of years: the voices that have travelled so very far, from continents away, to end in a singular point within the weighted pages in my hands. I am but a small piece of that history..., a remnant of something much greater, whose value is no more than its own self-worth. Those who came before, who gave birth to me and those who gave birth to the many generations before my own, are but legend now. They were a tribe who flourished and gave the world the greatest societies ever known; their mark is forever scarred upon the earth, embedded within the landscape and in the darkest memories of man. This is all that is left, bound forever in the memory of its last child. The last of a people dating back to the beginning of time, coveted by some, hunted by others - this is the story of young Gretel.
