The Sundisk

Book excerpt: "There is a legend that if one gazes at the horizon from the summit of the mountain, he will glimpse the land from whence we came." The writings of Colonel James Churchward and his lifetime search for the lost land of Mu were the inspiration for The Sundisk. In her debut novel, Gail Logan takes her characters on an emotional and spiritual quest for this lost world, where Eden-like splendor melds with the grandeur of a golden age. Through their quest for the forgotten island, a remnant of the fabulous continent of Mu, the characters reach deep within themselves to make a spiritual discovery of the place. Logan's work suggests that the fabulous lost continent may emerge again when men mend their differences, live in peace with themselves, and respect the beauty of the natural world.
