  • Three women who appear to be African, wearing scifi/African clothing. They are walking at early Earth.
    The Tayamni are a matriarchal race…
  • A Tayamni female scientist standing in a spaceship on Earth, with 3 homo erectus in the room with her. She is going over their vitals.
    .. whose sacred mission is to protect technological civilizations standing at the edge of extinction.
  • Early humans wrapped in warm clothing to protect from the cold, walking across an frozen landscape
    Across the ages, they have found humanity teetering on that edge—again and again.
  • A Tayamni woman, walking away from a land based vehicle at early Earth
    Each time, they intervened. They shared fragments of their own DNA, ensuring humanity’s survival.
  • Tahamni men walking away from a space ship hovering off the ground
    So often have they done this… that humankind is now more like the Tayamni than we are our own ancient ancestors.
  • A young Tayamni woman at an ancient settlement on Earth
    We begin with Batresh, a young Tayamni woman who grows up believing she is human.
  • On the eve of adulthood, everything changes: her mother dies, and the truth of her origin is revealed.
  • Resentful and grieving, Batresh is forced to accept her first mission— to protect the life of a small boy who will one day shape the destiny of humankind.
  • That boy is Denny.
  • Across seven missions, Batresh will travel through centuries
  • —sometimes to the past to repair mistakes, sometimes to the future to ensure humanity’s survival.
  • Her sister, Namazu, a warrior and commander, battles far from Earth—defending allies up and down the Orion Spur
  • against the Potacas,
  • …and the Tlalocs who seek to unravel all the Tayamni have achieved.
  • These conflicts converge around Timeline 496—the only timeline in which humanity evolves…and in which Denny lives to fulfill the Anubis Prophecy:
  • He of the Cloth, will transform himself.
  • He will become She— the Holy One, He will become She— the High Priestess of Men.
  • It is only on her third mission, during a harrowing visit to Auschwitz in 1988, that Batresh finally understands her purpose.
  • She sees the depths of human cruelty
  • …and the reason why the Tayamni continue to believe in us.
  • Throughout the series, Tayamni spirituality, moral codes, and ideals are tested…
  • …broken, and reborn.
  • Journey with us—from the dawn of civilization
  • to the year 2032
  • …from the cradle of Earth to the far reaches of the Orion Spur.
  • Will the Anubis Prophecy be fulfilled?
  • Can Timeline 496 endure?
  • What role will Denny play in humanity’s evolution?
  • Join us as we witness the failures…
  • …triumphs, and redemption of The Love of the Tayamni.
  • As G.A. Torres of Mockingbird Books said: “McLaughlin, like Philip K. Dick, sends you into a real world with real choice.
  • You, the reader, are not safe outside the novel observing.”
  • I’m T.A. McLaughlin, Thank you for taking a look at the series. Please let me know if you have any questions.
