But there are bad people working for darker older ones who wish to rule the world and make mankind slaves and they are after the book. One of these beings created a book that foretold the future and was full of all the Old ones secrets, which a Frenchman picked up and with the help of his wife and a whole lot of travel managed to decipher into an immortality potion. But then in the iron age they began to fade due to an aversion to iron and a next generation of elder beings (very Lovecraftian) began and then faded. ![]() The gods are all the same, Egyptian, Greek (the two main ones used in the first book) they just go by different names in different cultures. Michael Scott’s take on it though is that everything exists but came into existence in different waves. The Alchemyst is a part of a series by Michael Scott where real historical events and real people are interwoven with mythology and this idea that comes up in some of my other favorite stories like “American Gods” by Neil Gaiman and practically every book by Rick Riordan that the gods of mythology are in fact real and still around. I was curious whether I’d regret letting it go or not so when I found it at an Aladdin I figured I’d give it another try. I got this book because I vaguely remembered putting it in the donate pile last time I went home although I hadn’t gotten around to reading it at that point. ![]()
