In a literary landscape brimming with tales of apocalypses and ancient myths, Don Edward Cook’s debut novel, “Ithyanna, Last Daughter of Atlantis: How the World Ended Millennia Ago,” emerges as a beacon of innovation. This novel not only revives the lost world of Atlantis but intertwines it with the biblical saga of Noah’s Ark, presenting a thrilling narrative of survival and ingenuity.
Imagine a world where the imminent flood that Noah warned about is ignored by all but one — Ithyanna, a telepathic scientist from Atlantis, who sees the impending doom through her advanced studies and visions. Unlike the rest of humanity, Ithyanna acts, planning to save a nucleus of human species by building a space ark. This ark isn’t just a refuge; it’s a beacon of hope, a testament to human will and the power of science.
At the heart of this narrative is Ithyanna, whose determination is as vast as the ocean that houses Atlantis. Her journey is fraught with challenges, from skeptics who mock her vision to geopolitical threats that escalate to near-war levels with the authoritarian Lemuria. Adding depth to the story is a cast of characters including a duplicitous financier and Biannia, Ithyanna’s sister who is also the wife of Noah’s son Shem.
Why It Stands Out:
What sets this novel apart is its bold reimagining of well-known biblical and mythical stories, woven into a tapestry that’s both fantastical and deeply human. Critics and readers alike have praised the book for its originality and compelling storytelling. Kirkus Reviews calls it an “engaging, offbeat Bible-inspired apocalyptic tale,” highlighting its departure from traditional religious narratives to explore new realms of fantasy.
Themes Explored:
“Ithyanna, Last Daughter of Atlantis” delves into themes of faith versus science, human resilience in the face of disaster, and the eternal battle between good and evil. It challenges readers to consider how ancient wisdom and modern technology can combine in the fight for survival.
Don Edward Cook explains, “I wanted to bridge the gap between the stories of Atlantis and the events of the Biblical flood in a way that honors their origins but also speaks to contemporary readers. My goal was to craft a story that’s not only thrilling but also thought-provoking, pushing the boundaries of traditional genre definitions.”
Availability:
The novel is available for purchase on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and at independent bookstores across the country. It can be enjoyed in paperback and e-book formats, ensuring that it can reach a wide audience of eager readers.
“Ithyanna, Last Daughter of Atlantis” is more than just a book; it’s an experience, a journey back in time that offers a window into what might have been. It’s a call to adventure for those who are passionate about history, myth, and the power of a good story.
