Medusa
I grew up the daughter of Ceto and Phorcys, the ancient sea god of the hidden dangers of the deep seas and gods of the sea creatures. Unlike any other offspring of a god I was born mortal, an outcast from my family. I left to go to the city of Akitiki to become a priestess of Athena’s temple, only to get stuck in between the feud of gods. For years there have been stories about Medusa, coming and going in different versions. Finally the truth of Medusa’s life is revealed; another tragic mythology story of a human stuck in between the feud of gods. This is a story from Medusa’s perspective, explaining parts of her life never spoken of before. Her life started being born from immortal gods as a mortal herself, then a beautiful priestess of Athens temple, then an outlaw monster wanted dead. Figuring out who Medusa is and what her real purpose is, she’s set on a journey to find herself with the help of the people around her—struggling with the realization of who she really is and fighting to her controversial end.

Located in southeastern Washington State, the Hanford Site produced the plutonium used in the atomic bombs that ended World War II. This book was made possible by the declassification in the 1980s of tens of thousands of government documents relating to the construction, operation, and maintenance of the site. The third edition contains a new introduction by John M. Findlay and a new epilogue by the author.
