An introduction to "Eusebius: The Lords of Time"

Eusebius: The Lords of Time

Take me to the edge of life.

Take me to the end of time.

After three and a half years pursuing his own quest, Patrick Strain delivers a fantastical tale that allows his readers to experience their own journey. "I wanted this to be fast paced and exciting. It has a purpose unlike you will find anywhere else," he says. For those who wish to find something with meaning and those who want something that will appeal to the reader and induce deeper thought and consideration in a more complex world of mystery this will deliver, and it has also been written as a great adventure that will appeal to those interested in fantasy. Its release date is not yet set.

     Since the beginning of time knowledge is one thing all men have craved. As we study the ancient myths we find that one thing they all share is an account of the fall of man in his pursuit to become greater than he was: his pursuit for greater knowledge and understanding.

     Throughout the ages man has always desired to discover the secret to everlasting youth. By one’s own power: everlasting life.

                     

     There are secrets to be discovered and secrets that have been discovered by a select few that makes man capable of far greater things than most men could ever know. Yet there are some things, the knowledge of which is not man’s to possess. There are some things, the knowledge of which man cannot possess. And there are some things, the knowledge of which destroys a man.

     In the city among the rolling hills, the esteemed Valley of Tors, a special gift has been given to a select group of some of the greatest minds the world has ever seen. Their gift is the ability to travel in time and gain the knowledge of past and future ages by way of creating alternate realities and versions of themselves. In an upper room they gather to discuss their travels as they seek to perfect the mind and live in youthfulness. But when fellow members are killed in their travels they must question what becomes of the departed. As things start to go terribly wrong they must question why they have been given such a gift, if the gift is indeed real. They must question what “time” is and the nature and character of man.

     They will discover their answers as they journey through time. They will discover as they travel to the Old Island and pass beyond the Tears of the Damned. They will travel over the distant fields; beyond the high mountains to the land of Kleros where they shall confront the secrets of time and discover the mysteries of truth.

Patrick Strain is also the author of the popular gangster comedy "Girl Scouts... And How to Avoid Them" as well as the more serious novel "The Ninth Hour: a chicago story."

 His mission statement is simple: "To pursue the truth and embrace it when found even if it opposes what has long been held as true."

History—in 94 words

"The modern and socially correct history of today looks with ignorance and intolerance upon the past, feeling disgust and ill-respect. The educated man looks to the past with a love and desire to see and know the truth, knowing that as he is also guilty of mistakes and injustice in his own life he might through greater knowledge and understanding better himself and avoid similar mistakes, or at least give himself a guide similar to the way a chemist learns from past experience how to mix certain chemicals and avoid mixing other chemicals entirely."
