Synopsis

Journey to the Crossroads of Science and Myth--A Chanticleer Global Thriller Grand Prize winner and CYGNUS Award-Winning novel. The New Leprosy plague and a geomagnetic reversal threaten the world’s precarious balance. An unlikely trio may hold the key to reset the compass of the world: •“Saint Ariadne” Demodakis—a Greek bioelectricity researcher who realizes she’s curing plague victims by laying on hands .•Peter Mitchell—a jaded American veteran of the latest Gulf War, now a smuggler in the Mediterranean. •Leeza Conreid—a paparazza equipped with the latest neurally-connected media implants, who wants revenge and a big story. Peter, blackmailed into bringing Leeza along, hires on with reclusive Ariadne to secretly transport her to sacred sites in the Greek islands. She seeks to confirm a connection between the pandemic, geologic upheavals, and ancient lore that promises healing for humans and the planet. Peter doesn’t realize they’ll be pursued by violent Sons of the Prophet, mercenaries, and a cult of warrior women, out to claim Ariadne’s rumored powers—or kill her. He will need all his wits and weapons to protect Ariadne as she labors to control her connection to the dangerous forces that may deliver a global cure. Or destroy them all. “The Ariadne Connection takes the reader on a visual feast through the azure waters and rugged Mediterranean landscapes of the Greek Islands while tapping into the deep roots of mythological tradition…. A rocket-paced thrill ride that delivers complex, engaging characters in a laser-sharp plot.” ( –Chanticleer Reviews) “Draws connections between humanity's moral compass and the well-being of the planet we live on.” (–The Bookmonger Review") Pulses with admirable energy." (-William Dietrich, NY Times bestselling author.) 5-Star Readers' Favorite reviews.
