Myths and Legends...just fables and fantasies for those taught to scoff at them is d, as I was taught when a graduate student in the sciences; scorn and ridicule the forbidden. Myths are just...myths. Legends are just...legends. Then, I discovered different, in a South American dig where my life went upside down after finding what should not be with what we thought we knew so much about. My consciousness, my Light, plunged through a maelstrom bound to those of our undiscovered history. I witnessed through the eyes of ancient warriors, Rogaan and others, a wondrous human civilization of old, grand beasts and dinosaurs, and celestial gods of myth in what the modern Hopi and Maya branded our First World-Age. An age deep in blood and conflict born of gods and new man covetous of true powers and self-motivations loosing upon their world tyrannies, energy forces...sorceries, and abominations affronting Creation. Sealing the fates of the age, sword-messengers, warrior angels, risen new to bring forth the Harbinger of Creation's Judgments, slayers of civilizations...both of men and gods, the Horsemen. I am bound to them. In the here and now, standing at the precipice at the end of mankind's Fourth World-Age, I fear what is to come from the others...the Horsemen of Prophecy. And yet, I have hope for what follows. As our ancients did in tablets of clay teaching us our undiscovered past, I Nikki, now share these steel bound epics with you before the sounding of the trumpets.

This book was a twist of interesting flavors. I have to admit, I didn't really understand the beginning part and thought to story could have done without it. A current time archaeology dig that unearths some interestingly substantially historical evidence that could change everything we knew about the past. The we change settings and we are in the past, where dinosaurs are a real threat to the human population. I really enjoyed the second story line where are two young companions are doing their best to bring honor to their families, but of course there is always that one asshole who makes trouble for them. I also imagined that this old world is the stinkiest thing ever. The main character is always scrunching his nose or describing how smelly his surroundings are. I thought it was cute though. Maybe he has a nose like I do, that smells everything and that's all he can think about, lol.

This was a fun read that was quick. Took me an afternoon to get through. Four stars for Paths of Anguish and five stars for the vivid smells I imagined.
