INVADERS FROM BENEATH THE SEA: The Celtic Gael Myths Retold

The ancient invasion myths of Ireland tell in vivid detail of a war for possession of the land between the early Celtic settlers and The Fomorians, a race of supernatural beings from beneath the sea described as monstrously deformed, white-skinned giants. Using what sounds uncannily like biological weapons and a devastating laser beam, creating a stronghold on Tory Island off the coast of Ireland described as a 'Tower of Glass', and even demanding a tax of human children every year, were the Fomorians the survivors of a crashed alien spacecraft, or perhaps the advance party of a extra-terrestrial colonizing force? In this fascinating book the myths are told afresh and re-examined in detail - and startling comparisons are made to our present-day fears of alien invasion.
