Is DEATH really the end? If not,
Where
will you go when you die? No doubt about it. That's the biggest--and scariest--question we all are compelled to ask. We wonder about it, if only fleetingly. We fret about it when we do. Mostly we avoid the subject. We rely on religion as a balm to help us avoid the pain of facing this ultimate reality: Our physical death. But what if there is more? Eventually, we all have to take this frightful journey. SECOND EDEN explores this uncharted territory in the guise of a modern thriller, a Thriller for the 21st Century. Read reviews.

Win a Free Paperback Version! 1st 10 people to solve Riddle #1 The Greatest Mystery It’s the greatest mystery since The Da Vinci Code… Scene: An archaeological dig in Iraq Sharabi’s bare arms were pimpled with goose bumps. The rose colored pre-dawn sky was cloudless. For a second, Roscha’s parting words the previous night caught in his mind. He shivered. We’ll concentrate on the lowest level we can reach today, he thought, as he dumped a streaming ribbon of sand from his boot, like the sand from an hourglass... ...Roscha Venable stood with Youssef Sharabi on a makeshift scaffold on the second level of the excavation at Ur-el-Sharabi, watching impatiently as Moab coaxed his workers with taunts and curses and occasional lashes of his riding crop. One last stone blocked the entrance to a suspected royal tomb. For the first time since Miles was killed and his own life became threatened, Roscha felt he had a chance, however slight, to save himself. “This must be how Carter felt when his feeble light first pierced the darkness of Tutankhamen’s tomb,” Sharabi said in a reverent tone. “Speaking of Egyptians...,” Roscha steadied himself on the shaky scaffolding. “What about the ankh Kopi found? I mean the link between the Egyptian and the Mesopotamian cultures isn’t hard to swallow, but the depth at which it was found is astonishing.” “And the similarity to the symbol on the Martian book!” Sharabi added…. Scene: A short while later, calamity at Ur-el-Sharabi ... …Sharabi knocked two dirt-encrusted artifacts gently together. “Just before the cave-in, he managed to get these out to us.” Some small measure of debris fell away after a couple of taps, revealing a hint of shiny metal. “I should be using a dental pick on these, but….” With greater force he hit them together again. Two large pieces of dirt separated from the smaller of the two objects, freeing a silvery object, which fell to the floor. “Well, I’ll be damned!” Roscha felt as if he knew what it was but couldn’t bring himself to articulate it. He handed it to Sharabi. “Cherubic figure on the handle. Very high quality. Looks like a silver baby spoon. Can’t be silver, though—” ”Yes,” Roscha agreed. “No tarnish.” He bent down and picked up the other piece. About the size of a large man’s hand, it was comprised of a double cylinder, a smaller diameter one on top of a larger diameter one of slightly greater length. There was a small circular structure on the top of the cylinder near what must have been a handle, because it fit quite nicely into his hand. At the other end was a tiny bead of solid silver metal. A piece had been broken off between the lower cylinder and the presumed handle. Roscha hefted the object, gently tossing it up and down, assessing its weight and character. “Wonder what this could be?” “I don’t know,” Sharabi said, a troubled look on his face. “But when you just now pointed it at me, I got the distinct impression it was a gun.” Start reading now.

The Greatest Prophecy But it’s not just a book about an archaeological dig in Iraq, an ancient site that gives clues to our secret beginnings on Earth and our long journey from the past... It’s the greatest prophecy since The Celestine Prophecy… “Oh my God!” Molly gasped. Malcolm continued. “There’s more. Just yesterday, the stone at Mecca disappeared.” She felt a shiver and drew her afghan up over her legs. “The one the Archangel Gabriel was supposed to have given Mohammed?” “Uh-huh.” “There’ll be more war over that,” she stammered. “If Islam has been looking for the ultimate excuse for a global Jihad against the West, they’ve got it now. Our war on terrorism will probably evolve into something much more awful, I’m afraid.” He seemed to recover some of his cheerfulness. “But remember this: keep your eye on the Eastern Gate of Old Jerusalem; it’s been sealed with stone for centuries. Judaic tradition has it that if it is ever again opened, it means that Judgment Day is near.” Start reading now. Read reviews. The Greatest Terrorism But it’s not just a book about the nature of prophecy... It’s a book about the ultimate terrorism...And the ultimate fate of human life on Earth... “...Right now there is a bioengineering company called the Aquarian Genomic Research Center, a private research organization purportedly funded by a large American foundation. Openly, they are pursuing human cloning and the production of stem cells for compassionate medical purposes, to grow replacement organs for transplantation and the like. A noble cause if true. But in reality, they are funded by wealthy Islamic terrorists, and they are pursuing more nefarious ends. Two programs are well advanced…. "One aims to create genetically engineered monsters, creatures indistinguishable from human to the uninitiated but who nonetheless lack free will. They are to be trained in special madrasas, or Islamic schools, where they will be taught blind obedience to their masters. And their sole purpose in life will be to die in the service of death, to carry bombs or disease or toxins, spreading carnage and mayhem in endless supply. "But it is the second Genomic Center program that will, though quite by accident, spell doom for all DNA-based life on Earth. But most of all…It’s a great book about YOUR past...and YOUR individual future. Start reading now. Read reviews. * * * If you liked The Da Vinci Code, read this:
