A mysterious rock, birthed millions of years ago on a dying sun far
from ours, journeys through space on a voyage of a million billion
miles. As it travels it accumulates space debris, particles of
dust, each containing a speck of knowledge, but a knowledge which
will only be divulged to those worthy of receiving it. Eventually
falling to Earth the rock is found by such a person - a child - the
Keeper. In these first two journals of the Keeper's episodes,
follow the adventures, trials and tribulations of the custodians of
the rock as it passes from one Keeper to another through the ages,
normally a small child because their minds are not yet filled with
prejudice or pre-conceived ideas and ideals, but occasionally it is
held by an adult worthy of the title "Keeper". As the tale unfolds
see how the rock influences the course of history, myth and legend
through the ages. From the pre-history of the African plains to
Judea, through Roman Britain and onwards to the Dark Ages of
Arthurian Britain and Eire, the rock has a bearing on many
significant events that shape our lives today. Will the Keepers
remain safe? Or will others attempt to influence events to their
own ends?
