About this listen

 The 2nd book of The Glass Planet. An autistic boy reads with his grandfather ancient stories from the bible. His family are in Egypt when ancient bits of scripture are found in the Antiqua dealers in a market. The Jacob family has moved there and is now part of the exciting discoveries of ancient biblical texts. Using fictional characters, the author takes the reader through a journey of discovery, uncovering the secret Extra-terrestrial origins of the bible and other god centered religions around the world. By combing through the new translations of the Nag Hammadi Library and the Dead Se Scrolls, N. M. Reed through her characters, an autistic boy of dubious breeding, his strange angelic sister, and his grounded rancher wife, and a host of others, find passages and old stories that seem to be the log of experiences of encounters of a third kind: actual contact and instruction from alien visitors. Stories that were the inspiration for the final draft of the bible, but were taken out and literally buried in the sands of time, only to be discovered haplessly by travelers thousands of years later. The progenitors of our civilization were describing aliens encounters, but didn't know how to say that. They just viewed these powerful “star-people” as gods. All of the great religions seemed to have been formed this way. Why else would humanity be so enthralled and have such a devotion and reverence to anything, if it weren't something absolutely amazing and out of this world. So instead of god being an unknowable, unfathomable force to human kind, Antony Jacobs, an archeologist, is part of the team unraveling the secrets of these ancient stories. And he reads them to his grandson at night for bedtime. Antony finds them fascinating if a bit disturbing. And the autistic 9 year old Gwydion lives these stories in his imagination.Secrets was all Gwydion had. If you were different than everyone around you, and everybody knew it, you yourself were a secret. This is the introductory story to the next series of books about Gwydion and his family as they set off on adventures of discovery of ancient texts and the threats of uncovering these secrets of ancient times. If you couldn't talk very well, then everything you thought about was a secret. And if your grand papa was a translator of ancient scrolls, and he read those stories to you for bedtime, then after two thousand years of being buried beneath desert sands, those stories would be re-discovered secrets. Such was Gwydion's life. He was a nine year old autistic boy with special powers. Well, he thought he had special powers anyway. And one of his special powers was that he held these secrets deep in his chest like a glowing lamp. He could feel them there all the time. When people looked at him like they were afraid of him, he felt his secrets glow inside him and give him strength. When people yelled at him and called him names, he felt his secrets glow in his heart like the biggest lightning bug in Kansas, ever. And he kept that big bug deep in his heart, safe from anyone who wanted to squash it. But sometimes his secrets became heavy and he wished he could let them out so they could fly away, and stop fluttering up his chest. Sometimes he would tell his secrets in the silent secret way to some animal he would meet. Squirrels usually listened. So did the birds. And cats. Yes, cats listened quietly all the time with wise owl eyes to Gwydion's secrets. Sometimes he needed to run into his mother's or grand mama's arms and share his secrets with them through his tears. And they would soak them up quietly, and tell him things were going to be just fine. And sometimes he could listen to his grand papa's stories, of ancient stories hidden in the Egyptian sand. He would listen for hours and he would feel his secrets vibrate and break free and float away on the troubles of other people. People thought to be long lost. Lost but for these secret stories retold in the Apocry Fantasy Historical Religious Thriller & Suspense
