Jewels of Stonehenge Frederick J. Masterman |
|
They all looked at the scientist, puzzled at his demeanor and expression, altered after his powerful experiences with the two gems. "What I am saying is that I don't think the jewels originated on this planet. I think they are from a different place, a different world, out there." He gestured and gazed upward. "They are not of this earth." An archeological expedition to Norway is engulfed in theft, intrigue and murder when they encounter an ancient order of thieves seeking to assemble a set of unearthly gems. Looming over all is the shrouded mystery of Stonehenge, whose origin and purpose are locked in the bizarre jewels of another world, and the creation of a weapon of infinite destruction. The second book in the PlanetCare Discoveries Series "As in his first book, Masterman's sense of place is so well conceived it's almost a character. In the Cussler tradition there is adventure and danger at every turn, fast-paced and compelling. But also woven into this plot is the well-researched sci-fi reminiscent of Michael Crichton. It's fun, it's sexy." --Rebecca McEldowney, Author "Soul of Flesh" ". . .this new addition to this clever series is filled with numerous twists and turns of plot, evil scientists and police officers, a secret society in hooded robes and conducting a centuries-long campaign to obtain the otherworldly jewels. And it's filled and exotic locations: fjords, ski slopes and cities of Norway; and the supreme exotica of Stonehenge, that mysterious pile of stones on the Salisbury Plain in Southern England. . . Masterman combines his interest in science fiction with adventure and a contemporary setting. This is a good read. I confess to having stayed up later reading than is normally healthy for me." --Gordon McBride, Author of "Ghost of Midsummer Common" "Seduction, intrigue, a Femme Fatale second to none, provocative, innovative, action, adventure. What more could a reader want? Oh, yeah, the next book in the Planet Care series!"--Mickey Getty, Author of "The Junk Lottery" By This Author PlanetCare Discoveries Sourcebook The PlanetCare Discoveries |
