Circa 2200 BCE: Changes rocking the Continent reach Eire with the dawning Bronze Age. Well before any Celts, marauders invade the island seeking copper and gold. The young astronomer Boann and the enigmatic Cian need all their wits and courage to save their people and their great Boyne mounds, when long bronze knives challenge the peaceful native starwatchers. Banished to far coasts, Cian discovers how to outwit the invaders at their own game. Tensions on Eire between new and old cultures and between Boann, Elcmar, and her son Aengus, ultimately explode.

Lake of Many Hammers
Revisado: 11-03-22
This audible book was amazing and so was the narrator! I thought I was all Norwegian but did a BigY700 DNA test from FTDNA and my results place me right in this story. This past July I visited Ross Island Copper Mine in Killarney and actually found a stone hammer laying on the beach below the blue hole mine there. I contacted William O’Brien and sent him photos and he told me to leave it on site. I have been in correspondence with him in the past and read his books. I live by Chicago and my family has been here since 1837 but my strongest genetic matches are in southwest Ireland so this audible book really hit home for me!

Fascinating People, Fascinating Place

The story and the narrator tell the listener about about a place that I would now like to visit! Ruth does a fabulous job of narrating for the many people involved in the story of an island off the coast of Scotland. Very much enjoyed this new addition to the Audible library!

The monumental statues of Easter Island, both so magisterial and so forlorn, gazing out in their imposing rows over the island’s barren landscape, have been the source of great mystery ever since the island was first discovered by Europeans on Easter Sunday 1722. How could the ancient people who inhabited this tiny speck of land, the most remote in the vast expanse of the Pacific islands, have built such monumental works?
