The Crystals series will comprise a decalogy which will start from the creation of the universe, will transcend all human civilization, will come to the present and continue into the future, summarily showing the development of human civilization. The first book, ‘1st Battle of the Titans: Clash between Vacuum and the Hypercosmic (Creation)’ marks the beginning of a ‘cosmic’ journey from the Big Bang, following the evolutionary course of the universe, to reach the creation of planetary systems. The story in the first book starts from a town in the Greek provinces, where an enamoured couple comes upon an object with strange properties and potential. It is put under study by the local scientific community, and old folklore surrounding it is remembered that was hitherto dismissed as myth. The object is taken to Athens and is scrutinized by the Greek scientific community who call all the top brass of the international scientific community to their aid. On the basis of the object’s properties that have been assessed, an experiment is carried out on the Acropolis with wondrous, serendipitous findings. After that point, a wonderful journey starts that spans a series of ten books. Through myth and allegory, but also hard scientific facts, and apart from the reader’s entertainment, an effort is made for the reader to acquire true knowledge.

Unpromisingly – for a walking book –? Desire Paths ?begins on a hospital gurney as the author prepares for open heart surgery. Thereafter, it dances back and forth in place and time between an array of obscurely connected walks that Roy has undertaken over the years.? Among the book’s many characters and diversions are Wetherspoons, Capt. Picard, the Navy Cut sailor, the buried ‘Spirit of Brighton’, Wendy Craig, Harrods, Buddhism’s Six Realms of Desire, ‘Things to Do...’ tourist brochures, Argleton redux, the abyss, strip-lynchets, punk residues, Milton Keynes, multiple identities and an inkling of what the future may hold for thoughtful walkers. Each chapter starts with a quote from Phil Smith's?Mythogeography, specifically from the ‘Legend’ given in that book – ‘legend’ as in a set of definitions of symbols used on maps to define landscape features. Roy uses these symbols to organise the book.? The main body of each chapter is an account of a walking journey he has done. These are not chronological: structuring the book around the mythogeography Legend has (dis)organised the walks into a sequence that wanders in and out of time.? Towards the end of each chapter, Roy reflects on a Landscape Feature that corresponds to the Legend – exploring the workability (or playability) of mythogeographical concepts and illustrating how they have manifested in his own walking.? Finally, the? Jump Over the Back Fence ?notes ?in each chapter suggest further actual walks which readers could make.?
