The book is a fiction, historical, fantasy, and romance-one to put in your personal library for generations. It is also a great gift for the avid readers. It will become a best seller. Who built the Pyramids and the Sphinx in Africa? What if teachers came and taught early humans how to build these huge structures? Obviously, they were advanced and could travel through time. So if they traveled through time to get here, they could also go back. But what if one of these "teachers" remained on earth and never grew old? And what if this "teacher" loved only one man? The truth is the "teachers" came through the portal of the sun, and one stayed on Earth. Dr. Manny Cortez has searched for signs of these teachers all his life. Dr. Cortez is the most famous archaeologist of our time, and he is digging in Africa at a site where King Arumet met the original teachers. Some Egyptians believe that Anubis (a "teacher") walked the earth himself and helped humans as the cave drawings depict in the Great Pyramids. Dr. Cortez is searching for the portal of the sun that is the gateway to another dimension. Mr. Widdal, who is the site dig manager, is a crook and wants to sell it and all the artifacts on the black market for money. Dr. Cortez knows the significance of the portal of the sun and doesn't want Mr. Widdal to find it. Dr. Cortez goes missing and cannot be located, leaving his playboy son Johnny Cortez to uncover clues and locate him. Widdal is watching his every move and waiting to kill him.

Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
A beautifully told and intriguing mystery about two generations of Scottish women united by blood, an obsession with the past, and a long-hidden body, from the author of The House Between Tides. Libby Snow has always felt the pull of Ullaness, a headland on Scotland’s sea-lashed western coast where a legend has taken root. At its center is Ulla, an eighth-century Norsewoman whose uncertain fate was entangled with two warring brothers and a man who sought to save her. Libby first heard the stories from her grandmother, who had learned it from her own forebear, Ellen, a maid at Sturrock House. The Sturrocks have owned the land where Ulla dwelled for generations, and now Libby, an archaeologist, has their permission to excavate a mysterious mound, which she hopes will cast light on the legend’s truth. But before she can begin, storms reveal the unexpected: the century-old bones of an unidentified man. The discovery triggers Libby’s memories of family stories about Ellen, of her strange obsession with Ulla, and of her violent past at Sturrock House. As Libby digs deeper, she unravels a recurring story of love, tragedy, and threads that bind the past to the present. And as she learns more of Rodri Sturrock, the landowner’s brother, she realizes these forces are still at work, and that she has her own role to play in Ulla’s dark legend.
