Klappentext

Giants of the Ozarks: The Forgotten Bloodline Book 4 in the Alien Harvest Series* F. K. Sterling Beneath the limestone bluffs and deep hollows of the Ozarks lies a secret older than America itself. Long before the Cherokee drove the Moon-Eyed People westward, a race of towering giants arrived through the same interdimensional portals used by the Night Dwellers. These were no ordinary giants. They were the hybrid descendants of the Anunnaki - the Sumerian "gods from the sky" - who crossed the ocean with the Jaredites after the fall of the Tower of Babel. Tasked with guarding vast hoards of gold and silver needed to repair the atmosphere of their distant homeworld, these colossal guardians established their stronghold in the unmapped third-level caves of the Ozark karst. They never left. In this explosive continuation of the Alien Harvest series, F. K. Sterling descends deeper than ever before - into caves where massive stone benches, enormous footprints, and resonant voices still echo. Drawing from Cherokee and Osage oral traditions, suppressed archaeological reports, Spanish treasure legends that hide far older caches, and his own harrowing fieldwork, Sterling reveals the hidden pact between the giants and the Night Dwellers: the giants provide brute strength and security, while the grays maintain the portals and genetic programs. The metallic taste. The deep humming that vibrates through the rock. The disappearances near certain cave entrances. They are not random. They are signs that the ancient alliance is still active - and that the final harvest phase is beginning. As development encroaches on the Buffalo National River corridor and more cavers push into the deep places, the guardians are awakening. The Anunnaki are returning. And the giants stand ready - not as legend, but as the last line of defense for something far more valuable than gold. The Forgotten Bloodline is the most ambitious and terrifying volume yet in Sterling's groundbreaking series. It will forever change how you see the misty ridges, silent caves, and quiet hollows of the Ozarks - because something enormous is still watching from the dark... and it has been watching since before humanity arrived.
