Publisher Description
In the distant future, AD 6582 Professor Kato Maun transcribes an ancient writing on an archaeology find that sets off a search for an unknown lost civilization somewhere in the ancient past. With the help of a beautiful, mysterious, intelligence agent known only as Lavina, Kato journeys back through time to the edge of the fire barrier, which is the beginning of their history. The lost civilization surely must lie beyond the fire barrier which Kato must break through to make the discovery. It's assumed that the lost civilization was destroyed by fire in AD 2020. In seeking the past Kato also discovers many truths about the future and the peril that lies there.

About Maynard Villers
James Oliver Curwood (1878–1927) was born in Owosso, Michigan, where he
lived for most of his life. He studied journalism at the University of Michigan, and in 1900 he left the university and
married Cora Leon Johnson. This was also the year he sold his first
story, “Across the Range,” for five dollars. He went to work for the Detroit News-Tribune
covering funerals and for a pharmaceutical company until he was able to
support himself through his writing. In 1909 Curwood divorced Cora and
married Ethel Greenwood. That was also the year he took his first trip
into the Canadian Northwest and thereafter would spend up to six months
each year in the arctic wilderness. This was where he set some of his
most successful books. Over his lifetime, Curwood wrote over thirty books. Among them were The Grizzly King, The Wolf Hunters, The Alaskan, The Country Beyond, and Son of the Forests.
