Immortal Memories (In Lost utk'Irtana)

By Peter Genovese

IMMORTAL MEMORIES is an extraordinary journey to a land lost in time.

It is the year of 1905. Luke Murdock, an American, has joined a scientific expedition crossing the Himalayas on its way to Khotan a city set on the old Silk Road. The caravan never reaches its destination. Luke is stranded, left alone in the extremes of the great mountain range. After struggling for days to survive, by some miracle, he chances into a valley where he finds people engaged in a pilgrimage involving a mystical learning.

Thus begins Luke's introduction to a strange country totally unknown to the outside world.

He travels across utk'Irtana, to Akshi, its ancient capital built inside a holy mountain. He explores Akshi's Great Archive and its ancient records, meets a woman who he is deeply drawn to, engages in esoteric ceremonies using a sacred blue water called Azu that transports him back into time. He joins a dangerous mission in an attempt to avert war with the primitive Tai'je.

Immortal Memories is an adventure story in the tradition of the Lost World genre of H. Rider Haggard, Michael Crichton, and James Hilton.It is a voyage across an unknown land, with travels back in time, and a man's search for his destiny in Lost utk'Irtana.
