Orion: A Fifteen-Book Saga
Orion: A Journey 40,000 Years into Earth's Forgotten Past
There are stories that begin with a mystery, and then there are stories in which the mystery is so strange that it changes everything the characters—and the reader—thought they knew about the world.
Orion belongs to the second kind.
Spanning fifteen parts, the story begins with an impossible discovery in Athens on the morning after Christmas: a severed claw lying in the middle of a public square.
There is one problem.
The claw is still alive.
And it does not belong to any creature known to exist in the modern world.
Its enormous size suggests that it came from a giant-sized being—one that could not possibly have existed in the world as humanity understands it.
That discovery is only the first indication that something buried deep in Earth's past is about to return.
The Instructions Left Behind by a Dead Ancestor
Not long after the strange discovery in Athens, the story's protagonist begins uncovering another mystery.
Evidence found through his grandmother and within his own family home reveals that his great-grandfather had somehow known about events in his life long before they happened.
Not merely his childhood.
Not merely his youth.
Apparently, someone from a previous generation had anticipated major events throughout his life and had left behind a series of instructions for him to follow.
One of those instructions leads him toward an online task issued by Belligerent Blues.
Completing that task and becoming connected with the organisation sets the larger story in motion.
What initially appears to be a family mystery soon turns into something far more ambitious.
The Future of Earth Is Already Known
The new information eventually gives the characters access to something that changes their understanding of their own planet.
They are shown Earth's actual timeline.
And the future they see is not the future they expected.
It lies considerably beyond their own era, and by that point Earth has undergone a complete transformation.
The life that currently exists on the planet has disappeared.
The Earth's present ecosystem is gone.
Its familiar forms of life have become extinct.
The future is therefore not simply something that has yet to happen.
It is a destination that, according to the timeline they are shown, has already been determined.
The obvious question follows:
Can that future be changed?
The answer leads to the central mission of the story.
Twenty-One People and a Mission Forty Thousand Years in the Past
Twenty-one individuals are selected for a mission that takes them far beyond ordinary historical exploration.
Their objective is to travel approximately 40,000 years into Earth's past, locate the origin of an error that eventually altered the planet's entire future, and eliminate the cause before it can produce the consequences they have already witnessed.
But travelling that far into the past is not something they can simply be asked to do.
They need preparation.
And before being sent on the principal mission, they are given two other assignments.
The first takes them to the Canary Islands approximately five hundred years ago, immediately before the Spanish attack, where survival itself becomes part of their training.
The second sends them to Austria roughly ninety years in the past, during the period of Hitler's rise.
There they must solve a mystery connected not only with secrets about the future but also with the very existence of the story's central character:
Orion.
These assignments are not merely preliminary adventures.
They prepare the group physically and psychologically for what awaits them thousands of years further back.
A World Before Recorded History
Eventually, the group reaches the period they were sent to investigate.
Earth approximately 40,000 years ago is nothing like the primitive world they might have imagined.
Human-like populations have already developed organised societies.
But they are not alone.
Around the Mediterranean exists one distinct species known as the Hamans, whose level of development resembles what much later human history would associate with roughly the fourteenth or fifteenth century.
Around the Atlantic, meanwhile, another species—the Satans—has progressed considerably further, reaching a stage comparable to nineteenth-century civilisation.
These are not two versions of the same society.
They are two different species with their own territories, cultures, political conflicts and struggles for survival.
And the twenty-one travellers from the future have to live among them.
When Mythology Turns Out to Be History
Perhaps one of the most intriguing aspects of their journey is what they encounter while attempting to establish themselves in this ancient world.
They begin meeting creatures that humanity later came to know through mythology.
Creatures that modern civilisation has generally treated as products of imagination.
But in this distant past, they are real.
The travellers gradually discover that many of the beings described in later legends may have been actual creatures that existed thousands of years ago before becoming extinct.
The myths survived.
The creatures did not.
That discovery forces the travellers to reconsider the relationship between history and mythology.
What if some of the oldest stories passed down through human civilisation were not entirely fictional?
What if the monsters, giants and other extraordinary beings of ancient traditions were distorted memories of things that once actually lived?
The Mystery Goes Back Even Further
The mission itself takes another unexpected turn.
The travellers had arrived 40,000 years in the past to find the origin of a problem that eventually destroys the future they came from.
But they discover that the roots of that problem lie even further back.
Thousands of years earlier, something happened that had already triggered a massive war.
The conflict was so devastating that a substantial portion of the population living on Earth at that time was wiped out.
As the travellers become entangled in the struggles of the ancient societies, they uncover more information about this forgotten conflict—and about the world that existed before it.
Some of what they discover directly contradicts what they believed was scientifically possible.
Knowledge that would appear impossible from the perspective of their own era becomes part of the reality they are forced to confront.
And Then the Future Comes Looking for Them
Their mission becomes considerably more dangerous when they discover that the future itself has followed them into the past.
The beings responsible for preserving the future they are attempting to change have also travelled back in time.
The conflict is therefore no longer limited to the ancient inhabitants of Earth.
The travellers become caught in another enormous war—one involving forces from different periods of Earth's history.
The result is devastating.
Battles produce mountains of corpses, and the mission to change the future becomes a struggle simply to remain alive long enough to complete it.
A Lost Earth That No Longer Exists
The world of Orion is essentially a forgotten chapter of Earth's history.
A world in which human-like species had already progressed far enough to establish organised societies and kingdoms.
A world in which the Satans, a completely different species, had progressed to the point of building cities and countries.
A species that would eventually disappear—and, tens of thousands of years later, be remembered not as an extinct civilisation but as something else entirely:
aliens.
And the world contains more than the Hamans and Satans.
There are Anunnaki.
There are Nephilim.
There are Cyclopes.
And there are dragons.
All of them belong to a world that existed long before recorded human history—and disappeared long before modern civilisation could document it.
What Happened 40,000 Years Ago?
At its heart, Orion is built around a deceptively simple question:
What if the history we know is only the surviving fragment of a much older history?
The journey begins in modern Athens with a living claw that should not exist.
It passes through family secrets, hidden instructions and journeys into different historical periods.
It reaches a future in which Earth's present life has disappeared.
And then it travels backwards—past recorded history, past the familiar boundaries of human civilisation and into a world inhabited by species and creatures that later survive only through myths and legends.
The fifteen-part saga ultimately turns Earth's distant past into an unexplored world of its own: a place of ancient civilisations, vanished species, forgotten wars and creatures that modern humanity could only imagine.
A journey forty thousand years into Earth's past.
A story of civilisations erased from history.
And a world that existed long before the history we think we know.
