The Anki - Book of Kur

by J. C. Lansing

Overview

Long ago, before humanity. Enlil set out on a journey to save his people. He stopped on a planet, now known as Earth, to build a new. He made this planet like his own and populated it with creatures, then beings like himself but engineered for a specific purpose. As this new species grows Enlil watches and studied intently, leaving his daughter Ina to fend for herself on this wretched planet. Thousands of years later, waiting for humanity to reach a certain point of technology and civilization, he enacts stage two of his plan. Spread his re-engineered nanobots to this new life form. This is where Steve, our main character, comes in.
Steve has a rough childhood. Falling out of a 6 story window, being tortured by his brother, beaten by his dad and just completely misunderstood was the normal for him. One day he comes across a seemingly ordinary rock that is as black as the night sky, but that too wasn’t meant to be. Until years later, when a general comes looking for it, and Steve. He's told that this rock was sent to him by the creator and the general must take him and the rock back, to be studied. A lonely and odd girl, Ina; interrupts their travel, causing Steve to fall into a different world all together. With the creator himself, but there’s a new, almost predicted problem on the horizon, will Steve be ready for it? Will Enlil’s plans come to light or will humanity fail before it’s even ready?

About the Author

I was born late in Denver, CO on December 27 1981, the son of Mark S. Lansing and Terry A. Lansing. Eventually I moved with my family to Hampton, VA when I was 5 to be closer to relatives. We lived real close to the naval repair docks. Use to swim in that same James River, looking back, it probably wasn't a great idea. As I grew up poor, none of that mattered. I was lucky to even have water to flush the toilet; let alone to swim in. The neighborhood we lived in was just as poor. I got into a lot of bad habits at the young age of nine; smoking, drinking, partying, causing a muck, getting into trouble with the law. The list can go on, I probably did this for attention. I was also very business minded, even then. Trying to make a quick buck any way I could. Selling candy, smokes, and whatever else was easily acquired and can turn a profit.
We moved back to Denver when I was 12. Habits? Mostly gone, though then I didn't get into trouble. I did well enough in school, for never doing any homework. I dropped out when I was 16ish and got my GED. I was SOOO bored in school, and cared more about money. Went to college years after, for Industrial Design. Dropped out of that, too. For various reasons: cost was too expensive, I would be more in debt then it's worth the pay raise to go to college, I fell in love with my beautiful wife Virginia and her kid Joey, and it too was boring and I learned more in high school. Currently I work full time at a oil and gas company doing records. Not exactly what I wanted to do with my life but the pay is great and the benefits are awesome.
I always wanted to write and feel relief when I do. My middle school teacher Miss Micheals taught me to love and cherish words. Though my wife would call it an obsession, correcting her; when I have tons of issues in my own writing. I hope my writing inspires others to write and inspire.
