The Chaos Spiral

<p>In the 1980s Dr. Arthur M. Evans helped a self-styled biblical archeologist bring the discovery of Noah's Ark to the world only to have to discredit their discovery (and handicap his own career) when better lab techniques proved them wrong. Thirty years later he is an Oxford tutor who's sworn off adventuring... until his old archeology partner sends him new research and a dire warning right before disappearing from his latest dig site during an armed attack.</p><p><br></p><p>Meanwhile Arthur's gifted sixteen-year-old grandson has started uncovering family secrets which have caught the eye of an eccentric millionaire myth-hunter an enigmatic man in a suit and a Kurdish paramilitary group. Now hunted themselves the Evanses have been thrust into a quest that will connect lost places of the ancient world throughout a conflict-riddled Middle East primed for revolution. They have the chance to solve a mystery that will link Gilgamesh Eden Noah's Ark and the Minotaur's Maze in ways that could change history forever. If they can survive long enough to prove their discoveries.</p><p><br></p><p><em>The Chaos Spiral</em> is an intricately woven historical mystery: part action-archeology part family adventure part international conspiracy. To solve the mystery and save their lives as well as their teams' the Evanses must dive deeply into the world's oldest flood and creation myths as told from four different traditions. They will travel from the dreaming spires of Oxford to the drought-parched Middle East during the tense preamble to the 2011 Arab Spring. The quest promises to take them to Ugarit Antioch Crete not one but two alleged resting sites of Noah's Ark and finally just maybe the shores of Eden itself.</p>
