The Alchemy Series by J.S. Jowett — Compendium & Audiobooks

The Alchemy Series · J.S. Jowett

Read the Whole.
Or Hear It, Volume by Volume.

Six works of metaphysics, scripture and science fiction — gathered in one Compendium, or voiced as six audiobooks.

The Alchemy Series is a single, time-travelling dichotomy: one half an original reinterpretation of holy scripture, anthropomorphic myth and cultural history; the other a science-fiction charting humanity's terraforming and colonisation across the solar system. You can take it whole — in the Compendium — or one volume at a time, as audiobooks.
