New History Thriller THE TALL TALE is Released
by BWW News Desk - October 12, 2015
NEW YORK, Oct. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ The Lost Truth of Ancient Timesis the first volume of Author Leagan E. Kasper's new Book Series'The Tall Tale', providing readers with an alternative account of history, opposing everything we've been made to believe thus far. Instead of insisting it is the truth, Kasper chose to disclose Revelations about the history of mankind as a fictional tale, leaving it up to the reader to be the Judge. Judging if it's truth or fiction demands no effort, with Kasper's rationally explained version of events seeming far more reasonable than commonly known theories of today. No slaves, as asserted in The Tall Tale,built the pyramids, transporting rocks by rolling them over tree trunks. How easily desert sand is turned into stone is sensiblydescribed by the author, leaving us to shake our heads, questioning the common sense of modern day historians.
