Gary Cooks "The Secret Land" books
"The Secret Land - The People Before"
For thousands of years different peoples have been drawn to the islands of the South Pacific. Wave after wave of settlers bringing their culture to those waters. The current perception of the settlement of New Zealand is that the first voyagers arrived between six and seven hundred years ago. This theory is now under threat. New investigations now challenge the accepted history.
The information contained within this book is drawn from lost or discarded archival material, a storehouse of old lore, scientific understandings and previous observations worthy of reappraisal by open minds.

"The Secret Land - Journeys into the Mystery"
Gary Cook shares his intriguing journeys into the islands of New Zealand, exploring the land, its sacred places and its hidden past. This is not a hard-edged history. But it does cut deep, for it walks the margins where the truth so often abides
Open to all that might unfold, he writes... "My journey into our past has taken me into the land in ways that have suprised me. I have touched the stones, listened to the waters and in turn been touched by them. I have traced the outline of ancient carved symbols with the tips of my fingers, and been moved. I have been taken beyond the story to the spirit that is of this land, of its past, and its many people of yesteryear, and now..." Thus do the ancestors speak and thus are they honoured when we stand still and listen.

The People Before ..."Dynamic first book in a trilogy... the prehistory
of New Zealand is far richer than the mainstream version concedes."
Nexus Magazine
"May not have all of the answers... but provides enough evidence to leave
little doubt that New Zealand s human history goes back thousands, not
hundreds of years."
