Product Description
Who are the Semyaz?
In the aftermath of the Family Wars, the Semyaz arrive from unknown lands with a message of peace and hope. Their advanced technology and wisdom helps to rebuild the fallen cities, and their teachings that all people are Children of the Light promises to ensure that such horrific wars are a thing of the past.
But there are those who don't trust their motives-or their stated promise to improve the human race. Are the Semyaz altruistic benefactors, or do they represent the ultimate enslavement-or even eradication-of humanity as we know it?
The youthful and reckless Lam

Buy it, July 30 2011
By Carolyn Hall - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Days of Lamech: The Long-Awaited Prequel to the Days of Peleg (Paperback)
Thankfully Saboe has decided to craft another story combining history and a bit of speculation. This book is much shorter than the previous book but lacks for nothing. Great story, and great plot continuation. You learn to identify with and eventually root for the characters. If you love history, or science fiction, this book is right up your alley.

The Days of Lamech, a readers perspective, July 28 2011
By E. L. Bednez Jr. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Days of Lamech: The Long-Awaited Prequel to the Days of Peleg (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed Jon's latest book. Having read the previous book, I had an idea of Jon's writing style. Jon has an uncanny ability to paint a picture with words that cause me to visualize what I am reading. His chapters are long enough to complete a thought but not too long as to loose their focus. They are intriguing at their close which compels the reader to continue.Jon is very creative yet maintains enough of a link to actual scientific discoveries and plausible technology to give the reader a sense of realism.
We can identify with characters, watch them progress, sense their emotions and join in their challenges.
Great read, could not put it down, can't wait for the next "The days of ...."

This review is from: The Days of Lamech: The Long-Awaited Prequel to the Days of Peleg (Paperback)
I had read Days of Peleg with great enjoyment, and I was worried what Jon would be able to do with before the flood, because there is so much less information available, even for someone who digs as deep as he does. My worries were groundless. Jon has several very interesting ideas about what the antedeluvian world might have been like, the Semyaz being the most important. I know of no other author who writes historical fiction that presents our ancestors as capable, intelligent, and educated. The novel has a solid grounding in Genesis, and the speculations are really fun. Bravo.
Listmania!
