Welcome to Graal Book Shop

Laurence Gardner was a prominent author and speaker in the alternative history genre of research and writing, whose published works presented often controversial revisionist theories, challenging orthodox views of world history.

Based in England, Laurence's writing career began in 1996 with Bloodline of the Holy Grail, which achieved international success with top-10 listing in The Sunday Times bestsellers chart. This was followed by Genesis of the Grail Kings (1999), Realm of the Ring Lords (2001), Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark (2003), The Magdalene Legacy (2005), The Shadow of Solomon (2006) and The Grail Enigma (2008).

Following a long illness, Laurence died on Thursday 12th August 2010 leaving two completed new books - The Origin of God and Revelation of the Devil (2011). During this period of deteriorating health, Laurence relinquished all work other than the completion of these two books. As he was unable to give talks about their subject matter, his good friend and colleague Edmund Marriage Principal of the Patrick Foundation, has agreed to be Laurence's spokesperson, representing him in interviews. Edmund, was a frequent visitor to Laurence's home where they would discuss Laurence's latest books and the work of Christian and Barbara Joy O'Brien, whose pre-eminent research in their books The Shining Ones and The Genius of the Few helped facilitate Laurence's work.
