Publisher's Synopsis

It was in a Planetarium in 1993, while we contemplated the stellar sphere from 3500 years ago, when, like rays, the first images of this story I here present to you, came to me.
That ancient sky accompanied me for months, until I had no choice but taking a plane and go to Greece. I had to step in Crete, breathe Crete, and see with my own eyes the archaeological discoveries from the Minoan period.
My research was personal and imperative. I was so intrigued because I felt that ancient world so close, as if it were a remembrance of my own childhood.
The ideas, images, sensations that had been following me from that day at the Planetarium, fitted like a puzzle when I saw for the first time the "Phaistos Disk". A hieroglyph in spiral that have not been deciphered, yet all scholars interested in the piece reach always the same conclusion: The wisdom of a society from which we have so much to learn, lives there encrypted.
This story selected me leaving me no choice but writing it. It was inevitable.
Using fiction as narrative resource to build up a light story, I wrote this novel in which, a group of friends and family share their lives during two different times: the present and the one they lived 3500 years behind. The learning on who they are and which are their purposes will be the path that the heroes of this story will walk through.
To watch the characters of Round of Earth discovering themselves from intuition will be the cathartic trip I offer the readers.
