By: Harlande, Julius

There had always been a rumour that Julius Harlande had written a lost work, you would hear the rumours drift around on the wind, and fans of Harlande's work would hang on to those rumours in hope. When Dr David Harrison decided to venture into Masonic Fiction he set about making contact with Harlande see if he would write a foreword for Down The Rabbit Hole, Harrison's collection of Masonic Short Stories. Julius let David read the long lost novel and Iouldn't put it down. It was a classic work. It was mainly set in early 1970's and had a powerful sense of time and place. Harrison persuaded Harlande to publish it. So here is Outside the Gates of Eden, a long lost work that takes us back to the Cold War of the 1970s, a time of secret government projects and uncertainty, a time of darkness but a time of light. This book could be classed as horror fiction, a mystery novel, perhaps even science fiction. The book is typical Harlande, filled with strange twists and turns, and has that sinister feel in parts that suggests that man can be capable of dark things.
