Biographie:
Rather than being the proverbial lone voice in the desert, Dwardu Cardona is a senior member of an ever growing international school of academicians, which includes scholars from various scientific disciplines, who are presently involved in the scientific reconstruction of the events portrayed in this work. Cardona has been pursuing these studies since 1960. He has since then acted as a Contributing Editor for KRONOS and, later, as a Senior Editor for the same periodical, and is currently the Editor of AEON. He was a Founding Father of the Canadian Society for Interdisciplinary Studies (now defunct), and has acted as a consultant on mythology and cosmogony for Chronology and Catastrophism Review, which is the official organ of the British-based Society for Interdisciplinary Studies. He has also acted as the Series Editor for the Osiris Series of books sponsored by Cosmos & Chronos. As a writer, Cardona has now published well over a hundred articles in various periodicals, most of them on the subject covered in the present book. He has also lectured by invitation at the University of Bergamo, in Italy, as well as at various organizations in Canada, the United States, and England. He presently makes his home, together with his wife, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada....

Sommaire:
Following the hypothesis proffered in God Star, the prequel to this work, Flare Star sets out to show that Earth's last Ice Age came suddenly to an end due to the cosmic catastrophe that was caused by the proto-Saturnian system's entry into the present Sun's domain of influence. Very much as in God Star, this is partly demonstrated through the message contained in mankind's mytho-historical record. The main evidence for the above supposition, however, derives from the scars of the event that are still etched in Earth's land-masses and oceanic depths. Recent discoveries in astronomy and astrophysics also lend their weight in accounting for the detailed sequence of the devastation. Various enigmas that have bothered a range of disciplines are thereby elucidated. One of the greatest tectonic upheavals that humanity has ever experienced-encompassing geomagnetic field excursions, diastrophism, global volcanism, the heaping of the oceans onto the land, the extinction of life that followed, and much more-is provided with a catastrophic cause that has eluded researchers until now. The very concept of deity, the origin of which was traced in God Star, is here explored further since man ended up blaming his God for the source of the event that forever changed his world....
