THE HOLE IN THE MAGIC SHIELD starts off right where the last story ended... THE HOLE IN THE MAGIC SHIELD is the exciting second book in the epic ANCIENTS OF EARTH SERIES and continues with the unforgettable story and extraordinary characters from THE GOD IN THE CLEAR ROCK. After the arrival of the giant solar flare cycle 78,000 years ago, a small group of scientists located in a remote outpost find themselves as the last known survivors of their race, an advanced species of legendary giants and distant cousins to modern man. But the explosion and destruction of their island continent home has caused a gigantic tsunami which is destroying everything in its path. And it's barreling directly toward the small group of scientific refugees. 78 millennia later, the same cycle of deadly storms is beginning again, and the only remaining artifact from this lost civilization holds important clues to the impending disaster... And she also holds a secret. Every small action from the intertwined histories of the characters begins to cascade into a series of events that ramps up the intrigue and danger as the time counts down to the end of the world. As the consequences of the first wave of storms start to wreck havoc with our modern technology, the arrival of the final monster solar event draws nearer. And with each of the massive waves that batter the Earth, the natural protection of the planet grows weaker and weaker... And the end of our advanced civilization gets closer and closer...
