“Only a mortal could escape the Twilight of the Gods!” — Cover
We stood petrified by horror in that foggy, stone-walled corridor, gazing cataleptically at the hideous creature whose reptilian head was rearing up from the curling white mists. Freya’s slim figure had shrunk against me witha a choking cry. Frey stood in front of us, his sword raised, his face wild as he looked up at the looming head.
The hideous, abnormally huge coils could only be glimpsed in the mists beyond. But the giant spade-shaped head that hung above us was clear to our appalled vision. The enormous, opaline eyes were brilliant as they stared down at us.
“The Midgard snake!” Frey whispered.
“Jarl Keith!” Frey screamed to me.
The great head of the snake Iormungandr abruptly darted toward us.

In one split second they were hurled across time into a world a million miles away – Cover
One moment Kenniston was strolling down the quiet street, lost in pleasant reverie. The next moment the sky split open!
It split open, and above him was a burn and a blaze of light—so swift, so violent, that the air itself seemed to burst into flame.
Then there was silence—awful, suffocating silence.
Kenniston felt the chill of premonition—a shapeless terror that grew into a thing too evil to be borne alone.
This novel describes the shocking experience of a group of ordinary people, catapulted by a mysterious explosion into the terrifyingly strange world of a million years hence. It is not a prophecy—but a warning. – Back cover
