In historical times men dominated the world. In mythical and legendary times it is however the hero who is powerful, dominating the earth, heavens and winds in alliance with the divine powers. The Solar Warrior is one of these heroic and semi-divine forms, an eternal figure, which emerges as the highest expression of human virtue. By redeeming chaos and defeating all the Titanic forces that are in alliance with the dragons and serpents, the Solar Warrior illumines the whole of existence, even in its darkest and most misty aspects. The gleam of his eyes and the firmness of his Sword pave the way of a new dawn for humanity, in a stunning way, as a shooting star that sets the direction for all those who look towards the infinite. In this first book "Origins, Rise and Decline," belonging to "The Solar Warrior" trilogy, the author, Miguel A. Fernandez aids the reader in travelling with an eagles sight and perceiving in detail the mythical and primordial spirit of the Solar Warrior, and how this figure was expressed in different historical moments, with the Order of the Knight Templars being its last historical incarnation in the West. The reader shall go on a journey in this first book of "The Solar Warrior" trilogy to a world already lost in the mists of times where the warrior principles of courage, fidelity and sacrifice managed to surmount powerful historical currents, tempering the hearts of a few men to attain the maximum expression of virtue applied to the State: the Solar Empire, a semi-divine construction that has also remained mysteriously enclosed in myth and legend. In the second part of this book is described the final twilight of the incarnation of the Solar Warrior in the West, showing how this mutation deeply altered the spirit of the post-renaissance man in the domains of thought, science and art. Also described is the emergence of the SuperDragon, a collective and irrational force that little by little began to gain preponderance within the spiritual domain of men, fostering a Titanic struggle between technique and the hellish forces of darkness which would eventually produce todays planetary Techno-System, which shall be described more in detail in the books "The Eclipse" and "A New Hope" of "The Solar Warrior" trilogy. Miguel A. Fernandez draws in this book upon the cultural heritage of the West as upon the work of "cultural heavyweights," such as Theodore Roszak, Joseph Needham, Lewis Mumford, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jacques Ellul, Max Weber, Julius Evola, and hundreds of other referenced authors. In addition to this book trilogy, Miguel A. Fernandez is also author of the free novel: "The Solar Doctrine.""
