Kirov Saga: Devil's Garden (Kirov Series) (44 page)

The cryptic ending of Touchstone dovetails perfectly into
this
next volume as Paul insists that Kelly has survived, and is determined to
bring him safely home. Only now is the true meaning of the stela unearthed at
Rosetta made apparent—a grand scheme to work a catastrophic transformation of
the Meridians, so dramatic and profound in its effect that the disaster at
Palma was only a precursor. The history leads them to the famous Battle of
Tours where Charles Martel strove to stem the tide of the Moorish invaders and
save the west from annihilation. Yet more was at stake on the Anvil of Fate
than the project team first realized, and they now pursue the mystery of two
strange murders that will decide the fate of Western Civilization itself!

Book V:
Golem 7

Nordhausen is back with new research and his hand on the neck of
the new terrorist behind the much feared “Palma Event.” Now the project team
struggles to discover how and where the Assassins have intervened to restore
the chaos of Palma, and their search leads them on one of the greatest naval
sagas of modern history—the hunt for the battleship
Bismarck
. For some
unaccountable reason the fearsome German battleship was not sunk on its maiden
voyage, and now the project team struggles to put the ship back in its watery
grave. Meet Admiral John Tovey and Chief of Staff “Daddy” Brind as the Royal
Navy begins to receive mysterious intelligence from an agent known only as
“Lonesome Dove.” Exciting naval action and top notch research characterize this
fast paced alternate history of the sinking of the
Bismarck
.

Note:
Golem 7 is the book that led author John Schettler to
continue his exploration of alternate history naval fiction in the breakthrough
Kirov series trilogy.

Dream Reaper ~
A Mythic Mystery/Horror Novel

There was something under the ice at Steamboat Slough, something
lost, buried in the frozen wreckage where the children feared to play. For
Daniel Byrne, returning to the old mission site near the Yukon where he taught
school a decade past, the wreck of an old steamboat becomes more than a tale
told by the village elders. In a mystery weaving the shifting imagery of a
dream with modern psychology and ancient myth, Daniel struggles to solve the
riddle of the old wreck and free himself from the haunting embrace of a
nightmare older than history itself. It has been reported through every
culture, in every era of human history, a malevolent entity that comes in the
night…and now it has come for him!

“Every
book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote
it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book
changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit
grows and strengthens.”

―
Carlos Ruiz Zafón,
The
Shadow of the Wind
