A cult book, an international bestseller that has sold millions of copies worldwide and the book that established an entire genre.

Erich von Däniken claims to have never seen a UFO. But in the fall of 1987, on a desert ride, he experienced a close encounter of a very different kind. A being materialized before his eyes, and since the "thing" had no name, von Däniken called it "Tomy." This book is the story of Tomy. Some say that Tomy is a scientific impossibility. Yet Tomy was there, science or not. After all, Tomy had for a few weeks lived among us, and that was enough for plenty of interpersonal relationships. God knows that von Däniken was not the only one who had known Tomy; others could see him, as well. Now, after nineteen years of silence, von Däniken has decided to make public the incredible story of Tomy. Here, the bestselling author of Chariots of the Gods makes his foray into the world of fiction. Tomy and the Planet of Lies is a thrilling adventure novel that will keep listeners on the edge of their seats.

"The bestselling author of Chariots of the Gods, Erich von Dèaniken, examines the great traditions of mankind, thousands of years old, for signs, traces, messages that point to early contact with extraterrestrial intelligences. The Gods were here. But when will the return? Or have they ever really left? The culmination of long-term research, Enoch and the Return of the Gods argues that we are very much in the minds and eyes of other cosmic life forms and that, as a result, many of the dramatic historical events and remarkable teachings of religious texts should be reinterpreted. Erich von Dèaniken examines the great traditions of mankind, thousands of years old, for signs, traces, messages that point to early contact with extraterrestrial intelligences. The texts of the Bible are at the center of his text-critical interpretations, which pick apart the sense and nonsense of religious views. He also draws on ancient Jewish sagas and legends, reports from early historians, and Indian, Babylonian, and Persian traditions. As always, von Dèaniken finds support for such questions as: Did Adam and Eve witness a UFO? Who was Enoch and did he speak the language of extraterrestrials? What will Judgement Day truly be? Why did extraterrestrials tinker with humanity's DNA? The gods were here, and it is clear their influence remains to this day. This book was first published in 1998 under the title The Return of the Gods. This new edition features a new introduction by the author."--

The follow-up to the global bestseller, Chariots of the Gods, this is a continuation of Erich von Daniken's astounding theories about alien contact with the Earth from earliest times, with new evidence from his research into formerly inaccessible sites.

We live in an age of information. But there are things in our prehistory "e;about which we do not have the faintest idea,"e; writes best-selling author Erich von Daniken in his gripping new book, REMNANTS OF THE GODS. Stone structures erected by master builders, mysterious underground complexes, geometrically aligned stone circles, the breathtaking pyramids of Egypt - who built them? And, perhaps more importantly, where did these builders obtain such incredible knowledge? Erich von Dniken shows in detail how whole countries were surveyed thousands of years ago. Hundreds of Stone Age holy places are located at equal distances from one another, forming giant squares and triangles. How was all of this possible? Classic archaeology provides no answers to these questions. Worse still, it doesn't even appear to be interested. Are we all threatening to become "e;camp followers of disinterest,"e; as Erich asks? Featuring more than 160 colour photos and illustrations, Erich reveals the secrets of "e;impossible buildings"e; in Europe and the Mediterranean region, describes "e;crazy facts"e; and relentlessly exposes false doctrines. REMNANTS OF THE GODS will make even strident sceptics reconsider what they think they know of the past.
