The following is the back cover blurb from my new novel, THE LOST SHIP. I set up pre-order for Kindle version and will follow suit with other digital editions and the print edition in the coming weeks. I am targeting early October 2022 release date.

An ancient Gray race time travels to the present after a humiliating Cretaceous-era colonization failure, seeking to recover and detonate a world-killer superweapon abandoned on a 90-million-year-old shipwreck lost to time in what is now the Amazon’s vast unexplored reaches.

An offer they can’t refuse: Rachel and Owen Haig convalesce in a decimated Cairo hospital following their death-defying heroism beneath the Giza Plateau, contending with unwanted notoriety and a job proposal from The Powers That Be.

The fourth kind: A battlecruiser from the time-traveling Gray’s fleet seizes Agent Flynn’s lunar-bound medevac, imprisoning the crew in a mind-bending nightmare where startling revelations materialize from the dank stillness.

Never let a disaster go to waste: Griffin Pike, a megalomaniacal tech mogul, schemes to project international anger onto the only entity athwart his new world order master plan: The Powers That Be. Leaving nothing to chance, Pike’s failsafe manifests in cryptic clues within the ink-splotched pages of a worn leather-bound notebook leading to a doomsday device concealed deep in the Amazon.

Lost worlds: Artemus Pennywell, the ageless CEO, parries post-invasion gut punches, overseeing PTB relief efforts alongside Andrew, his quintessential robot valet. With Pike’s cutthroat mercenaries—and the vengeful Grays—in hot pursuit of the lost ship, he dispatches eccentric scientist Richard King and new PTB agents Rachel and Owen on a desperate expedition to secure the prehistoric payload. Trekking through dense forests teeming with dangers, paths collide on a perilous descent into a primeval rift valley safeguarded by a ghostly tribe.

THE LOST SHIP twists and turns through post-invasion ruins, culminating with a pivotal confrontation deep in the heart of untamed Amazon wilderness where ceaseless bonds are torn asunder, presaging the overlords’ arrival. Resistance is futile.
