In writing The Chronicles of the Stone Barry accepted a great challenge. He decided to carry his archaeological knowledge, historical research and his understanding of the ancient lore, into a novel to share the story of the past with greater freedom. Truth and fiction are exciting partners within these pages, for all is paradox when we walk the rim of the circle. There is no beginning and no end, just the journey. This, the first book of five in The Chronicles takes us back to the great stone builders in the Americas. In the days before the Inca and Aztec Nations the world gave birth to children who sailed into the Pacific with a message of hope for the planet. The Circle encompasses many realms and opens wonderful gateways to trails of wisdom. It is a quest for truth.
