Civilization shows signs of progress after a catastrophe now lost in antiquity. As a result, the remote village of Mezet has become a remarkable place, full of curious and learned residents who read books in their free time. This characteristic is a true exception throughout the known lands.Unexpectedly, Mark of Mezet, the oldest and wisest man of his village, receives a visitor. He is Janlo of Lar, the grandson of his good friend, Berd, who serves as an advisor to the King of Lar. Berd and the king have invited Marc to a special gathering. Marc believes he is too old for such a long journey (his previous trip to Lar had been rather unpleasant) ... until he learns the subject to be discussed. An account from an old book mentions the accidental discovery of a "room full of books." But they are not just any books; they are books written by the "Ancient Ones." Janlo assures Marc that his stay at the palace will be most comfortable; in fact, Marc's granddaughter, Faye, will also make the trip in order to broaden her experiences while she "looks after" Marc.But what Marc doesn't realize is that he and Faye are about to encounter stubborn resistance, back-stabbing subterfuge, and even extraordinary dangers as he attempts to prove his point - that ancient books might hold the key to a severed past apparently full of wonders.Each episode of John M. Moody's Mezet Trilogy is a complete story that can be fully enjoyed without reading the other books. However, true fans of "future history" will discover a much richer experience by first reading Journey from Mezet, the delightful introduction to the series, and Second Book of Marc, which sets the stage for Marc's Final Journey. This final episode of the trilogy is the emotional, thought-provoking conclusion to this "post-post-apocalyptic" epic. While these books relate how one person can make a positive difference, Marc's Final Journey is also a "must read" for booklovers.
