The Bock Saga is the story of mankind as passed down through the generations of the Bock family, whom, according to Ior Bock, was the keeper of an ancient oral tradition that sheds light on the time period from the beginning of prehistory -- also called "Paradiset" -- to the present time. It begins with the first two people dwelling on this earth and ends with the untimely and tragic death of Ior Bock in 2010. It covers a huge time span and an enormous number of events have taken place since then. The Bock Saga narrates this all in great detail. It is, in short, an enormous story...

In the early 1980s a bunch of young suburban dropouts escaped the grim atmosphere of the decaying industrialised world to travel the globe. They had no real aims but, among the backpacking, pristine beaches, and psychedelic parties, they accidentally encountered a legend that would change their lives forever. Entitled 'The Bock Saga', it is the greatest story the world has ever known; nothing less than the narrative of mankind itself. The Saga, related by Finnish mystic Ior Bock-appointed keeper of this ancient oral tradition-told of a mighty prehistoric civilisation and unimaginable treasures. This unlikely party of nonconformist heroes set out to prove the Saga was real. All they had to do was journey to humanity's rediscovered cradle, Finland, dig up the Bock Treasure as revealed in the Saga, and show the world how life was in the Paradise Time. Simple, right? And yet that task has led to 40 years of colourful adventures and bizarre events that are still unfolding, with the monumental presence of the Bock Saga ever in the background. Insane hippies or farsighted visionaries? Only time will tell.

Three Mile Bay, located just below the Canadian border in the town of Lyme, was settled between 1810 and 1820. Early immigrants from Canada and Europe were drawn by the abundance of water-powered mills and factories along the area's waterways. At the mouth of Three Mile Creek stood the sawmill of Peter and Richard Estes, built in 1820; from 1860 to the 1900s, limestone quarried in the Three Mile Bay area was known for its superior quality. Resident Asa Wilcox built 48 brigs, propellers, schooners, and other seafaring vessels from 1835 to 1853, some ultimately joining the approximately 500 shipwrecked vessels now resting at the bottom of Lake Ontario. Fishing and selling potash were often carried on by farmers as side ventures. When loads of potash, and occasionally wheat, were hauled to Albany, on the return trip merchandise was brought back to be sold in local stores. For generations, families developed their trades and helped to sustain the hard-working people of the hamlet of Three Mile Bay.

The Homer CodeThe first part of this book sprang out of my initial discovery that Homer's legendary Island of Thrinacia, and Trenyken in outer Lofoten, Norway, are one and the same. At the time, this discovery was just a minor adjustment to the epoch making findings by Felice Vinci, that the whole Odyssey of Odysseus was originally located in the north. But this led me to review everything more carefully, also in light of other researchers, notably Iman Jacob Wilkens and J�rgen Spanuth, and more discoveries followed. The topic of the whereabouts of the world of Homer continued expanding through a later book (Atlantis Unveiled), however, and is now fully covered only in The Lost Civilization of the North from 2015.The reconstruction of the whereabouts of the ancient World of Homer in the North implies that there must have been an advanced culture in the high north thousands of years ago. This was used in the Homer Code as an intro to the Bock Saga, because it lends a lot of credit to what was until recently told about such a culture through an ancient storytelling tradition from Finland. Told from generation to generation in unbroken line since pagan times, the Bock Saga told a story of a Lost Civilization we until now only had been getting glimpses of through legends, conjecture and fairy tales.Ior Bock, the last of the Bock family lineage of storytellers, told from his family saga for 26 years, including where to find hidden treasures proving the validity of it all, until he was brutally murdered in his own home in October 2010. Before that I recorded as much as I could of what he told, through the fifteen years I had the pleasure of getting to know him.This book contains the most of what I have written in English about Ior Bock and the Bock Saga. It also brings some light onto the shadowy forces which eventually destroyed this most ancient culture, but that specific topic is perhaps more fully covered in my other book, Exposing the Alien Conspiracy.

When Talia Lyons was just a child, her parents were murdered before her eyes. Offered a choice between accepting their fate and exacting revenge, Talia trains to become one of the country's deadliest assassins in order to kill the man responsible for their deaths: Ian Crane. Luckily, Talia was born with a gift- the ability to read and influence the minds of others. At sixteen, Talia is poised to graduate from the McDonough School for the Talented, where she learned to control her abilities. Now there is only one obstacle standing between her and the retribution she craves... Talia, herself. Her greatest asset may also be her undoing; while a formidable weapon in the field, Talia's talents prevent her from both shutting off the mental connection she shares with her questionable boyfriend and blocking out the thoughts of a beguiling fellow recruit. But Talia can't afford to have the feelings and distractions of a normal teenage girl, when her life is far from normal. She must regain the single-minded determination that has brought her this far, or it may cost Talia her life when she finally faces Crane. And even after being molded in to a weapon of war, she'll still have to find the strength it takes to pull the trigger. If James Bond and Sookie Stackhouse had a love child with a yearning for vengeance, her story would be TALENTED: an adventure about powerful teenagers who aren't afraid to embrace their fears and fight for what they believe in.

The Saga of the Volsungs is an Icelandic epic of special interest to admirers of Richard Wagner, who drew heavily upon this Norse source in writing his Ring Cycle and a primary source for writers of fantasy such as J. R. R. Tolkien and romantics such as William Morris. A trove of traditional lore, it tells of love, jealousy, vengeance, war, and the mythic deeds of the dragonslayer, Sigurd the Volsung. Byock's comprehensive introduction explores the history, legends, and myths contained in the saga and traces the development of a narrative that reaches back to the period of the great folk migrations in Europe when the Roman Empire collapsed.

The haunting story of an extraordinary Aboriginal woman. Winner of the National Biography Award 2021 Shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Award for Non-fiction 2021 'A compelling story, beautifully told' - JULIA BAIRD, author and broadcaster 'At last, a book to give Truganini the proper attention she deserves.' - GAYE SCULTHORPE, Curator of Oceania, The British Museum Cassandra Pybus's ancestors told a story of an old Aboriginal woman who would wander across their farm on Bruny Island, in south-east Tasmania, in the 1850s and 1860s. As a child, Cassandra didn't know this woman was Truganini, and that Truganini was walking over the country of her clan, the Nuenonne. For nearly seven decades, Truganini lived through a psychological and cultural shift more extreme than we can imagine. But her life was much more than a regrettable tragedy. Now Cassandra has examined the original eyewitness accounts to write Truganini's extraordinary story in full. Hardly more than a child, Truganini managed to survive the devastation of the 1820s, when the clans of south-eastern Tasmania were all but extinguished. She spent five years on a journey around Tasmania, across rugged highlands and through barely penetrable forests, with George Augustus Robinson, the self-styled missionary who was collecting the survivors to send them into exile on Flinders Island. She has become an international icon for a monumental tragedy - the so-called extinction of the original people of Tasmania. Truganini's story is inspiring and haunting - a journey through the apocalypse. 'For the first time a biographer who treats her with the insight and empathy she deserves. The result is a book of unquestionable national importance.' - PROFESSOR HENRY REYNOLDS, University of Tasmania
