Book Description

August 19, 2010

Graham Hancock has spent decades researching and writing some of the most ambitious and successful nonfiction investigations into ancient civilizations and wisdom. Entangled uses all of Hancock's skills and knowledge to propel a fantasy adventure like nothing else preceding it.

Entangled is a time-slip novel alternating between present-day California, Brazil, and prehistoric Spain, with two teenage female protagonists who must come together to avert an incredibly bloodthirsty takeover of the human race.

Entangled is the first book in a trilogy relating the story of an unrelentingly evil master magician named Sulpa who is on the loose and determined to destroy humanity. Leoni, a troubled teen from modern-day Los Angeles, and Ria, a young woman who lives in Stone Age Spain, meet in a parallel dimension outside the flow of time to stop Sulpa's spectacular, deadly materialization of the modern world.

Entangled rides a growing wave of interest in parallel dimensions and imaginary worlds (The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Golden Compass are recent Hollywood examples) and will have immediate appeal to readers of Philip Pullman, Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and Kate Mosse, among others.

But Entangled has the added merit of being grounded in solid anthropological and scientific research. Hancock calls on his years of research into cutting-edge issues, including the "Neanderthal Enigma," the nature of consciousness, the many worlds interpretation of quantum physics, parallel realms, time travel, and near-death and out-of-body experiences.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Adeptly balancing a concern for harsh and complicated realities with a boundless talent for the fantastical, Hancock, author of popular history works such as the bestseller Fingerprints of the Gods, has created a fantasy realm where an epic struggle is underway. Two teenaged girls living 24,000 years apart are tasked by a beneficent being with putting a stop to the evil force embodied in Sulpa, a demon who has amassed a terrifying force of Stone Age warriors to carry out his plans. Central to these is the destruction of the Neanderthals, who here are spiritually superior beings with telepathic and healing powers. Hancock's draw on real anthropological and archaeological information is grounding and invigorating, and his supernatural additions are both internally coherent and satisfyingly trippy; one central premise is that out-of-body states such as those induced by certain drugs can actually transport one to other (real) dimensions and times. The march of endless cliffhangers is somewhat tiring, though, and one hopes that the simplistic portrayal of good and evil will be complicated in sequels, as it contributes to a fatiguing effect. Otherwise, Hancock has more than enough mythos, character, and tension to propel two further installments. (Oct.)

"Entangled" was sort of like reading two different books for me: on one level it's a fun, fast-paced and highly original fantasy novel. On another it is a sort of spot the clues book full of references to the themes and facts contained in Hancock's non-fiction books from the last couple of decades. If you've read "Supernatural" there's definitely a lot in the novel that you'll recognize, from the ancient cave paintings to the modern-day shamans of the Amazon. Plenty of "Fingerprints of the Gods" material too, so that any fan of Hancock's previous work is going to have a lot of fun seeing how he applied his vast knowledge to creating a work of fiction. Highly Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Psychedelic Pulp Fiction... and More! October 13, 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've enjoyed Hancock's non-fiction archaeological detective books a lot, and after reading his last (Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind) I couldn't imagine what he'd do next. With this new novel it's clear that he's continued along the same lines of supernatural research leading to more experiences and ideas best expressed in fiction.

Although he is in no way a great novelist, Hancock has crafted an intriguing and exciting page-turner (somewhat like Dan Brown's popular novels, but better written and way more interesting). Perhaps best of all is that he's finally found an editor able to help him trim the fat (probably easier to do for novels than for far-out esoteric-archaeological studies).

Jumping back and forth between 24,000 yrs ago and modern times (southern California and the Amazon forest), as well as their connections through the parallel spirit world of the "Blue Angel", the story is loosely based on a setting inspired by the DMT research of Dr. Rick Strassmann (DMT: The Spirit Molecule: A Doctor's Revolutionary Research into the Biology of Near-Death and Mystical Experiences), the radical cosmic evolutionary ideas of Terence McKenna, traditional Biblical myths (or more accurately their Zoroastrian roots) of a cosmic Good/Evil struggle, and our older shamanic spiritual traditions - in short, a fantasy/sci-fi mix of visionary dream-time experiences and anthropological/consciousness studies. As the cover flap quotes, "...might have been written by J.K. Rowling - if Rowling had apprenticed herself for 7 yrs with Mary Leakey, 7 years with Carlos Castaneda and 7 yrs with Robert Crumb". That sounds about right, a Harry Potter tale for adults.

This may seem like an odd combination, but it works beautifully. I can see it becoming hugely popular; maybe not mainstream popular, but for those of us young and adventurous at heart interested in exploring similar ideas in our own lives, this could just prove to be life changing.

(I can even see it becoming a hit Avatar-like movie - what is this world coming to? - Just in time for the paradigm shift of 12/21/2012...Hopefully he's well on his way to writing the sequel - which, if he keeps following the threads of his non-fictional SUPERNATURAL research, will get very far out indeed.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Entangled Enthralls June 21, 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Entangled is a provocative, raucous, absorbing tale spun by one my favorite authors. Graham Hancock's maiden venture across the fiction line left me intrigued, captivated, provoked, admittedly a bit aghast at moments, and cheering for the brash gritty foul mouthed heroines who in a rather unorthodox way join forces across the eons of time which separate them. This book takes a fresh look at an old topic. Does evil exist? And if it does exist did it also exist when the human species was young? What if the origins of pure evil extend well beyond the dawn of modern man and what if evil in its symbiotic tango with humanity has evolved along with humanity?
Many years ago I read with abandon Jean Auel's Earth Children Series feeling a kinship with Neolithic Man as portrayed through Auel's idyllic eyes. Since then I've grown old and life has grown complex. Values have twisted. Motivation has become obscure. Humanity seems at best fractured if not imploding at break neck speed. Entangled presents a taunting albeit dark and disturbing suggestion as to the origins of crude evil and its ancient dance with the evolving human species.
What if evil has evolved along with man through the ages? Is evil any less reprehensible today having masked itself in a modern military industrial complex, and corporate political facades? Does the brutality of ancient human sacrifice and slaughter somehow parallel the laundered and propagandized collateral damage and loss of innocent life in modern warfare? What of human casualties incurred in "natural disasters" or from "acts of god"? How random are they truly?
In reading other reviews, some readers seem to have found Entangled too violent and too graphic. I have two responses. 1st, this type of historical violence happened. Graham's not out of step with history. 2nd, I take Graham at face value when he acknowledges the influence the Vine of Souls or Ayahuasca as the source of much of the plot. For anyone having reads Mr. Hancock's previous works, heard him speak or watched one of his many interviews, its obvious this isn't Mr Hancock's typical well mannered and documented style of writing and speaking. Maybe its just fiction building on our common brutal past. Perhaps Graham's just cutting loose under the guise of fiction? (But if so why wouldn't Graham just use an alias.) Or maybe, just maybe, Entangled strikes a gritty raw subconscious communal nerve. I mean we were and are more than savage and barbaric with each other. Graham and Ayahusaca might just be probing us to ask why, and for how long, and under what influence.
I loved the book because it made me hugely uncomfortable, incorporated modern science, anthropology, indigenous healing arts, etc. and took a fresh swipe at an old question, Does and did evil exist and if so is evil also evolving? This no doubt will be addressed in the sequels for which I anxiously await.

I like Graham Hancock, but I think he is letting his experiments with mind altering drugs in South America damage skew his writing into some very dark corners.
