| Publisher Description: In the days before written history, clues to everyday events can be found of the existence of a chariot-based civilization in the Western Plains of Russia and Mongolia. This pointed to a way of life that was based on chariots, horses and bronze-age weapons. These clues included the aerial sites, chariots, jewelry, swords and axes. Evidently the charioteers lived, died and were buried in a horse-based way of life that was more advanced in terms of chariots that had been developed up to that time. This civilization had apparently covered much of the Asian and the Chinese as well as the Russian Western Plains. It was a pre-Celtic way of life. We do not know the name of the tribes or what language they spoke. The islands and rivers had not yet been taken over by Vikings, which happened later. How did a pre-Viking and pre-Celtic civilization develop into the later domination of the Vikings which was spread throughout eastern Europe and western Asia and Russia? Obviously, pre-Gaelic and pre-Viking legends and myth need to be consulted. The longboats of war as well as chariots play a powerful part in these adventures. In those days the warrior queens as well as heroic Vikings played a large part. The latter-day wars organized by Queen Bodicea of Britain who drove the Romans out of the British Isles; Queen Maeve of Connaught who led the united armies of Ireland against Ulster were similarly heroic figures. These warrior queens were field-marshals and planners of war as well as chariot warriors. Perhaps the last of this line was Saint Joan of Arc. In WALLWAVE THE SEA KING, the wicked War Queen Snakeknife tries to complete her plans of conquest with the help of the Four Witches of Kill and their magic. The story is full of the many intrigues and onslaughts of the Hillwolf King Warchariot and his wicked War Queen Snakeknife as they try to overcome Wallwave the Sea King and conquer the world. |
