Grab your gear and climb into the back seat as David Hatcher Childress takes you around the world and back again in this trippy finale to the Lost Cities series. But be sure to buckle your seatbelt - the destination is the Apocalypse and end times, and the ride could get rough.

Childress hits the road from the fortress of Megiddo, the legendary citadel in northern Israel where Armageddon is prophesied to start. From there, it's one adventure after another, as you go back to the future in an effort to gain some understanding of how mankind got where it is, standing on the eve of destruction. With characteristic wit, humor, philosophical insight, and wonder at the amazing world around us, Childress shows us the many traces of advanced civilizations in the past, ancient cities in the deserts and the legends of worlds before our own. He muses on the rise and fall of previous civilizations and the forces that have shaped mankind over the millennia, including wars, invasions and cataclysms. He discusses the ancient wars of the past, and roars right up to the present with an overview of current technology which could produce a (literally) mind-bending future.

• Armageddons Past, Present and Future
