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. Thus, through storytelling, the reader learns about the evolution of the universe, the galaxies, the solar systems, the earth and life on it, the evolution of humankind, philosophy, science, religion and in general, about the struggle for the humanization process of humankind to reach today’s conflicts. The following 10 books with follow with the following proposed titles: 1st Battle of the Titans: Clash between Vacuum and the Hypercosmic (Creation) 2nd Battle of the Titans: Clash between the Hypercosmic and the Supernatural (Battles of the Heavens) 3rd Battle of the Titans: Clash between the Natural and the Supernatural (Zeus-Cronos) 4th Battle of the Titans: Clash between the Natural and the Paranormal (Battle of Giants) 5th Battle of the Titans: Clash between the Natural and the Metaphysical (Prometheus) 6th Battle of the Titans: Clash between the Good and the Evil (White-Dark Crystal) 7th Battle of the Titans: Clash between the Sociopolitical and the Counter-sociopolitical (Early Civilizations) 8th Battle of the Titans: Clash between Humanism and Technocracy (Later Periods) 9th Battle of the Titans: Clash between Civilization and Barbarism (Current Times) 10th Battle of the Titans: Clash between Earthlings and Extraterrestrials (Intergalactic Travel)
