Hope of Earth is the third volume in Anthony's sweeping and exciting Geodyssey series, In the first two volumes, Isle of Woman and Shame of Man, Anthony showed us the triumphs and tragedies of two remarkable families, each reborn again and again in some of the most turbulent eras of human history.

Now, with Hope of Earth, Anthony adds a new dimension to that story, exploring the ancient origins of our humanity, the traits which make us what we are, war, passion, love and art. In a stirring, captivating saga that ranges from our ancient beginnings in Africa's Great Rift Valley to the windswept Andes a century from now, Hope of Earth tells the inspiring story of a group of heroic men and women, bound by ties of passion, honor and blood. Who struggle to transcend our violent past to make a new shining future. Through their eyes we meet some of history's most colorful figures, the mysterious "Ice Man" of the Swiss Alps, the decadent King Herod, the British Chieftain Tamurlane, and King Louis XIV of France. We meet again some of the most memorable characters from the two earlier volumes, Blaze and Ember, Hugh and Anne, and their remarkable descendants.
