A stranded alien distorts humanity's path and endangers an elephant paradise.
Humans must decide if they are to protect the treasures of earth.
If you like elephants, or unusual tales, rich in myth, densely woven into historical fact and science fictions with a soupcon of the fantastical, then you will love this book. Meet Padma, nature’s champion of hope, and George, a haunted man, too afraid to live and too afraid to die. Follow them both on an immersive quest which will take them to ancient days and distant stars.
Elephants have long since meditated on the past, plunging the depths of collective memory in search of distant truths. When a pink elephant emerges from the river of gems, she brings hope to a tribe fearful for the future of their world. Can the pink Padma fulfil an alien covenant agreed in a time beyond recollection? Set in Ceylon in the 1830's, 'Padma and the Elephant Sutra' follows the young elephant's journey down timeless tracks. She enlists the help of an old British soldier who once drummed his way around an empire. Together they embark on a quest in an immersive world of ancient Buddhist myths and elephant legends.
Excerpt
To embed the alien traveller into H. sapiens was the desideratum. An act of cosmic vandalism, where the name of a different god, the first Word from a different beginning, was written like graffiti on the human soul. Ad-Om would reside in the DNA of the organism, producing and reproducing a most selfish gene until the alien could eventually leave. In their innocence, the last surviving humans had been taken, altered, and defiled. Recreated in the image of ad-Om, their purpose to subdue the earth and have dominion over all creatures, so that through them ad-Om might continue to live. From here, from this trace memory of the last straggling band of survivors began a new name-story, the genesis of so called wise men, of human civilisation, and a history still not realised
