Jonathan Dunn

E-Novel.org contains two works by Jonathan Dunn The Forgotten King is a history of the Dark Ages, of the forgotten ages that followed the fall of Rome. Civilization did not collapse with the Roman empire, however, but grew again on an island nation off the coast of Europe. It was called Atilta, a land of ancient forests and great, maritime capitals. At this time, it was at war with itself as its people fought for freedom. Yet the freedoms they desired were contradictory: some longed to overthrow their tyrannical king, others their tyrannical God. It was a fight of forest against city, and nature against civilization; of man against beast, and beast against God. But whom was the victor? For the island of Atilta is no longer to be found. Yet its history remains, embedded into the myths and legends of an exiled people. This is its story. This is the history of The Forgotten King.The Revolutions of Time is a timeless science fiction / philosophical thriller. Its premise is this: Time flows in a circular motion, repeating itself in seasons that are much like a year on earth, similar time periods with the same general events. Because of these revolutions of time, the geological record shows not the immediate past, but the events of the last season or age, making the fossils and formations show by example what is yet to come. Jehu is transported to the end of his age by the mysterious Lord of the Past, and finds himself caught in the middle of a society at war over how to divert the Big Bang that is foretold by their geologists. What follows is, as they say, history.
