Backcover:

The world is falling apart. Is the Holocene over? Are Calamity and Catastrophe back with a vengeance? The Eyes of a mythical giant and the untested resolve of a teen-age girl may be the only hope humanity has of containing Chaos and all that he wishes to unleash upon humankind. Can young Sadie, with the help of Allie, her friend and tutor, Harry, her faithful wolfhound, and the unlikely guidance and support of a pair of ancient Greek legends, centuries out of their time, secure the Gates of Chaos and save human civilization?

Story Origin:

The impetus for this story, primarily, was to create a novel with pictures that millennials might accidentally pick up (or discover) and, finding visuals within it, decide to read a bit; hopefully getting hooked in the process. The pictures, thus far, were created by a Fiverr artist and touched up (tinted) by me for effect. If you read any of it, we'd like to know if you think this picture-premise holds promise.

If you have suggestions for images and their locations within the story, do share.

And lastly, many of you will not enjoy this story, the premise, the characters, the plot or the genre. Absolutely normal -- there's no accounting for taste. However, if you could LET US KNOW that you disliked it, and if you read even a page of it, say, "Hey, not for me. I read to page three then quit." That would be helpful. We're not looking for praise, we're looking for criticism.

Warm regards, The Gribble's Eye Team

If you're unsure of what the Holocene is, this curious video illustrates when it started -- about 12,000 years ago.

What you'll see in that video is mentioned in The Gribble's Eye, and is the Anatolian temple Gobekli Tepe.

Additionally, here is an expansion of charts showing the Holocene as a function of average global temperature. You can see how, as far as temperature is concerned, the Holocene has been a very special time for humanity.

Here's another, scientific oriented video, which explains how gosh darn lucky humanity is with regards to the Holocene.
