"Seriously one of the greatest things I've ever read." - - Wil Wheaton
THE GOD IN THE CLEAR ROCK starts with a bang...
78,000 years ago, a gigantic X-1 class solar flare erupts from the Sun and races toward Earth. When it arrives, it destroys a legendary race of giants; distant cousins of modern man. It also triggers the eruption of the Toba mega-volcano. This epic disaster pushes everything to the edge of extinction.
But something survived.
In ancient America, a strange presence begins to control the early humans who slowly arrive in the new world. Millennia pass as unknown plans unfold, and mysterious plots threaten to undo the efforts of millions of lives over tens of thousands of years.
All while the countdown to the next event draws closer to... today.
Unknown to modern man, the deadly cycle of solar storms is starting again. Our modern civilization will not survive the solar assault; not intact. As the first deadly waves of the storm arrive, the only scientist who can help is caught on a boat in the middle of the Atlantic.
At the same instant, a beautiful archeologist discovers a strange artifact buried deep in a newly discovered pyramid in the Yucatan. On this strange crystal tablet, is the engraved image of the Sun with a monster flare erupting from it. Around the image are warnings in a dozen unknown languages.
And inside this mystery, resides the God in the Clear Rock... who has a secret.
Now it's a race to discover the knowledge she holds before the unknown disaster arrives, and our modern world gets thrown back to the stone-age.

THE GOD IN THE CLEAR ROCK has everything you could want in an epic sci-fi story; ancient civilizations, giant humans, advanced technology, military secrets, artificial intelligence, and a timeline that covers 78 millennia. Engaging, imaginative, and believable writing will drag you into the intrigue and drama as it begins to unfold across the planet.
First in a six-book series covering the 50 hour countdown, THE GOD IN THE CLEAR ROCK presents the initial eight-and-a-half hours. But 78,000 years of brutal history and adventure lead up to this first exciting book. The story blends the hour-by-hour style of the TV drama 24 and the intelligent storytelling of Asimov with the twisted plots of George R.R. Martin; the result is a page turner you can't put down.
It's filled with science, technology, history and adventure, plus a sci-fi twist on a cliff-hanger ending that will have fans jumping into the second book in the series, THE HOLE IN THE MAGIC SHIELD (available now).
