    Past and present collide in this spellbinding tale by USA Today best-selling author Joanne Pence.   Over 200 years ago, a covert expedition shadowing Lewis and Clark disappeared into the wilderness of central Idaho. Now, seven anthropology students and their professor vanish in the same area. The key to finding them lies in an ancient secret, one involving alchemy, gold, and immortality...a secret that men throughout history have sought to unveil.  Michael Rempart is a brilliant archeologist whose colorful and controversial career has earned him admiring fans and implacable foes, but he is plagued by a troubling sense of the supernatural and a mysterious spiritual intuitiveness. Joining Rempart in this adventure are a CIA consultant on paranormal phenomena, a washed-up local sheriff, and a former scholar of Egyptology. All must overcome their personal demons as they attempt to save the students and, ultimately, the world.  From the journal of Francis Masterson, 1806 -All hope is gone. Evil is victorious. In the time I have remaining I will, herewith, impart a tale so filled with Dread and Terror that my heart overflows with immeasurable Sorrow to tell it. It began with the highest of Good Will and Promise and, on my part, great Excitement. I can only trust to Providence that one day this small account which I leave in a land of unimaginable desolation and Wildness, may be discovered and that it will serve to warn others of the wickedness that may ensnare Good men. Ours was to be a Secret Expedition...  Top 10 Idaho Book Award Winner ungekürzt.

    New York Times bestselling author Marc Cameron, best known for his propulsive Tom Clancy thrillers, delivers an atmospheric adventure novel set in the frigid hinterlands of Alaska - where corruption and murder meet. "Cameron's books are riveting page-turners." -Mark Greaney, #1 New York Times bestselling author In the icy heart of Alaska, a series of gruesome murders leads Deputy US Marshal Arliss Cutter into a firestorm of searing corruption, clashing cultures, and bone-chilling fear. . . . In Juneau, a young Native archeologist is sent to protect the ancient burial sites uncovered by an Alaskan gold mining company. He never returns. In Anchorage, a female torso is washed ashore near a jogging trail by the airport. It is not the first. At Alaska's Fugitive Task Force, Arliss Cutter and deputy Lola Teariki are pulled from their duties and sent to a federal court in Juneau. Instead of tracking dangerous fugitives, Cutter and Lola will be keeping track of sequestered jurors in a high-profile trial. The case involves a massive drug conspiracy with ties to a mining company, a lobbyist, and two state senators. When a prosecuting attorney is murdered-and a reporter viciously attacked-Cutter realizes they're dealing with something much bigger, and darker, than a simple drug trial. The truth lies deep within the ancient sites and precious mines of this isolated land-and inside the cold hearts of those who would kill to hide its secrets. . . . "Suspenseful . . . Readers can only hope they won't have long to wait for Cutter's third outing." -Publishers Weekly on Stone Cross "A double-barreled blast of action, narrative, and impossible-to-fake authenticity with a great sense of place and a terrific protagonist." -C.J. Box, #1 New York Times bestselling author on Open Carry

    Jon Eddington was just a simple young dude fresh out of college when his grandfather, an archeologist named Jack, passed away. Jack leaves his New York house and everything in it to Jon, including an ancient Celtic pool he discovered long ago. One night, a strange storm blew in and Jon was blown into the mysterious pool and wakes up in a strange world known as Meridian. Things become more strange when a mark suddenly appears on his right palm; a triskelion. Stranger still was the power that the mark holds. Facing strange shadow-like creatures, the Mark gives Jon the power to vanquish them easily. Meeting a couple of pointed-eared soldiers Jon learns are called the Aelfar, they take him to a small industrial city of steampunk and smoke. Not knowing just what he was doing in the world of Meridian or why he was given the Mark, the answers all quickly become clear when he finds that he carries the Mark of the Hero. The mark also holds an omen of great calamity to come to Meridian. Jon finds that he was not the only human Hero to wear such mark but it doesn't bode well for him when he learns that none of the former heroes are alive and there's no way for him to learn how to harness the powers of the Mark. What's more, he must be the one to end the calamity and slay a Trith'ar witch before she conquers the world. Jon must bide his time and acclimate himself in a Victorian-Esque society he is sure are full of elves and dwarves while trying to prepare himself for what was to come. ungekürzt.

    By the number one best-selling author of Under the Tuscan Sun, Bella Tuscany, and In Tuscany, Swan is a haunting novel set in the deep South - a resonant tale of long-buried family secrets and mysteries brought suddenly to light. In her celebrated memoirs of life in Tuscany, Frances Mayes writes masterfully about people in a powerful and shaping place. In Swan, her first novel, she has created an equally intimate world, rich with striking characters and intriguing twists of fate, that hearkens back to her Southern roots. The Masons are a prominent but now fragmented family who have lived for generations in Swan, an Edenic, hidebound small town in Georgia. As Swan opens, a bizarre crime pulls Ginger Mason home from her life as an archeologist in Italy: The body of her mother, Catherine, a suicide 19 years before, has been mysteriously exhumed. Reunited on new terms with her troubled, isolated brother J. J., who has never ventured far from Swan, the Mason children grapple with the profound effects of their mother's life and death on their own lives. When a new explanation for Catherine's death emerges, and other closely guarded family secrets rise to the surface as well, Ginger and J. J. are confronted with startling truths about their family, a particular ordeal in a family and a town that wants to keep the past buried. Beautifully evoking the rhythms and idiosyncrasies of the deep South while telling an utterly compelling story of the complexity of family ties, Swan marks the remarkable fiction debut of one of America's best-loved writers. ungekürzt.

    After briefly eluding Yassir Ali's ruthless assassins in England, Nick, Marie, and Ishi have fled north, where they hope to track down a forgotten cavern in the Highlands of Scotland. The cavern is linked to the Ambrosius Amulet, and is said to contain the greatest treasure of gold, jewels, and other artifacts ever amassed by the ancient druids.... Finding this sacred place won't be easy - especially when those trying to kill the forlorn trio are hot on the trail again. Meanwhile, Nick and his cohorts' search is limited to details from a conversation Marie had with her father prior to his murder a year earlier. His last wish was for her to complete the task he couldn't and was the main reason Marie hired Nick as her archeologist guide: to first find the Temple of the Jaguar in the Honduran jungles, and then eventually move on to the United Kingdom to complete Daddy's failed quest. Now, after being chased relentlessly through Europe by Yassir Ali's hitmen, they finally possess the key to finding the druid treasure. Yet, the Ambrosius Amulet can only tell them when they have found the right location. The task of locating the correct "marked" Scottish hillside must be handled on their own, using natural means. Relying on Marie's memory of landmarks and coordinates given by her father, the task of searching Loch Ness, Loch Lomond, and Loch Morar quickly becomes a hazardous affair. Will one of these famed locations prove to be home to this fabled treasure of the early Brits? Or, will this be one myth that can't be solved, either by fate or bullets from a ruthless enemy closing in? These questions and more are waiting to be answered in the Secret of the Loch.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Graydon Schlichter.
