Allen Key is an average modern young man of the scientific, western world. He obviously doesn't believe in an afterlife, universal justice, and certainly not in reincarnation. Following an excessive night of alcohol and other complimentary substances, he was therefore somewhat surprised to find himself transported back four-and-a-half thousand years, allegedly by the spirit of his former incarnation, to an oddly-familiar world of racial-tension, religious war, and an insane housing-market, prime for collapse under the weight of its own greed. Rock is the first instalment uncovering the truth behind our greatest myths, legends, so-called historical-facts, and most enigmatic monuments of antiquity. There are no aliens, no conspiracy-theories, just far more believable dodgy human-behaviour. A darkly-humorous, irreverent and riotous-rampage through our long-distant past, reflecting the fact that as a species we have clearly forgotten far more than we have learned, misleading ourselves as much with science as we have with religion, due to abandoning our common-sense. Warriors and shamans, god-kings and wise-women, parking-wardens and estate-agents, but none at their default setting. A love story spanning the millennia, and finally a self-fulfilling-prophecy in which even the most cynical reader has undeniably taken part.
