Leaving a trail of carnage as he preaches his warped brand of religion to a growing Cro-Magnon army, empire builder Lorenzo Martinelli takes his campaign into the boot of pre-historic Italy. The madman's modern shipmates face many challenges as they attempt to stop him before he disrupts the future of mankind.

Tuscany is the second book in the 30,000 B.C. Chronicles, an action series of love and exploration in a world dominated by mammoth and wolf pack. Time travelers from the dried-out, over-populated year of 2233 are shipwrecked on a European continent that is a sea of green, a sensory overload of natural beauty.

The story picks up in the hills of Provence and reaches a rousing climax with a pitched battle along the banks of the Arno, in the heart of where the beautiful Italian city of Florence will one day be built.

The book's action is pitched against a backdrop of brilliantly imaginative views into a pristine world of continent-sized forests, 20-foot-tall mammoth, wolf pack and bison herds without end.

Running with the clans, the modern travelers find that many of life's questions are eternal. The quest for love and comfort, the fear of death, the gut-wrenching sorrow of loss, the joy of birth and creation, and the richness of a good laugh were no less a part of humanity in 30,000 B.C. than they will be in 2233.
