Within the timeless realm of the evil god Moloch, a strangely gifted four-year-old girl hatches a desperate plan of escape. Able to affect her past, present, and future, she manipulates the lives of her great grandmother, her adult self and associates, bringing her scheme to its terrible conclusion…

Marcus Eaton’s life is going nowhere, but documents bequeathed by his uncle unknowingly draw him and his girlfriend Frida into an ancient and deadly conspiracy. Eventually kidnapped and imprisoned, Marcus is coerced into writing of his experiences, recounting his travels investigating his uncle's discoveries…

Travelling across the globe to study the remains of her crewmates, she uncovers Moloch's plan to enslave humanity, and battling to return to his realm, she vows to put an end to his tyranny.

Featured Reviews

The Archivists is the product of an author voice who knows their stuff -- Martin Ikedais's experience as an educator clearly informs the work. I appreciate this working together of parts of the science fiction, fantasy, and mythological worlds. Recommended for readers looking for an engaging journey across these storytelling spaces.

Definitely quite strange and unique. I highly appreciate that in today's world of homogeneous fiction. I highly recommend this book.
