Acknowledgments
First and foremost, I must give all honor and thanks to my Master and Savior, Jesus, who gave me my gifts and talents. May my efforts bring you pleasure, Abba. Solo Dei Gloria.
To Kevin, Aimee, and Tim Chaffey—my “proofreaders, editors, and story consultants”—thank you for all of your time, your advice and your comments.
To Angie Peters, my editor—for doing so much to improve and clean up the text of this novel. Thanks for catching all of my repetitiveness. You taught me so much about my own writing style through this process. Without you, Rebecca and the others would have been moving a lot more “slowly,” and things would have been happening to them more “suddenly.” And in case I forgot, thanks for catching all of my repetitiveness.
To Daniel Wright, my cover artist—thanks for capturing the essence of my story in one picture. Who says you can’t judge a book by its cover?
Due to my own oversight, I failed to include any acknowledgements for Logic’s End. So, I would also like to thank Samuel Schlenker for his amazing sketches and Steve Warner for his cover art. You both really helped bring the bizarre aliens from Ka’esch to life! My gratitude goes to my editor, Michelle Warner, as well—for a great job on getting the manuscript in shape.
To all of my friends and family as well as all those who purchased and enjoyed Logic’s End—your support has been vital. Without your enthusiasm and positive encouragement for Logic’s End, I don’t think we ever would have heard from Rebecca and the others again.
And finally, I must give special thanks to Mom. You have believed in me from day one, and have helped me ever since. Thank you for all you have done to support my writing—proofreading, editing, story suggestions, book sales, website building, and financial backing! You are definitely the one whose shoulders I have been standing on to achieve my success. I love you.

Here’s what others are saying about Keith A. Robinson’s Origins Trilogy:
Logic’s End is a great read, and I highly recommend it. It explores the question of what life would be like on a planet where evolution really did happen. The surprising result helps the reader to see why life on Earth must be the result of special creation. For those interested in science fiction but who are tired of all the evolutionary nonsense, Logic’s End is a refreshing alternative.
Jason Lisle, PhD, Astrophysicist Institute for Creation Research
In this book, Robinson has discovered a ‘novel’ way to communicate vital information to young adults and readers of all ages. Mainstream indoctrination on the origin of species and the age of the earth are regularly encountered and have long needed combating. Through this unique story, truth is conveyed.
Dr. John D. Morris President Institute for Creation Research
Pyramid of the Ancients will challenge you to reconsider the conventional wisdom concerning the history of our world.
Tim Chaffey, Writer/Speaker Answers in Genesis, Co-author of Old-Earth Creationism on Trial
Escaping the Cataclysm is an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride back through time. It brilliantly explains the plausibility of the biblical account of history, especially Noah’s Flood. It also explores details of the feasibility of the Ark itself and the Flood’s impact on the earth. A great read!
Julie Cave Author of The Dinah Harris Mysteries series
Picking up where Pyramid of the Ancients leaves off, Escaping the Cataclysm hits the ground with both feet running. I found my faith renewed again and again as I was reminded of the many arguments that demonstrate why evolution cannot be the explanation for our origins.
Joe Westbrook Co-author of The Truth Chronicles
