Two worlds are both led to mysterious ancient texts via a series of cryptic clues. One guided to the ruins of an ancient temple located in the steaming jungle, the other to a hidden chamber in the middle of the desert. The recovery of the texts proved to have unexpected and unique challenges that threatened both the lives of the explorers and the destruction of the antiquities they sought. Once extracted, the reading of the documents proved even harder than their recovery.

Two worlds are both led to mysterious ancient texts via a series of cryptic clues.

The recovery of the texts proved to have unexpected and unique challenges that threatened both the lives of the explorers and the destruction of the antiquities they sought. Once extracted, the reading of the documents proved even harder than their recovery. Unanswered questions abound. Where did these documents originate from? Who wrote them? and why have they not been mentioned in any writings from other ancient civilizations. Once the pages are revealed, mysteries deepen with strange and foreboding information that documents a history that is unknown until now. Compounding the search for answers is the fear that this would be considered forbidden knowledge and the brave discoverers would have to hide and protect their findings while seeking a way of warning of its content.

Grew up devouring all forms of action/adventure, science fiction, fantasy, science and ancient history books I could get my hands on. I was raised on a small farm and learned many skills, not the least of which was how to think and reason. I was also an outdoor type - love fishing, hunting gardening and outdoor photography. I began writing at a very early age, mostly comics in elementary school but wrote several novellas and short stories throughout high school. Never attempted to publish anything because at the time the ebook concept did not exist and it was near impossible to get published otherwise. I finally wrote a juvenile book for my son and nephew in honor of their grandfather who had passed away. This was the first ebook I published. It is a little crude and underdeveloped but because it was written for 10 to 12 year old boys I did not try to polish it too much. I have a college degree and worked two diverse careers before retiring. I am focusing on writing books that are more adult oriented but as an old school science fiction and pulp fan, I do not incorporate the all too common themes of sex and drugs found in so many novels today. I hope to be able to add to my list of published works and I hope that I eventually grow a fan base who enjoy them.
