Book Cover & Preview Text
As he worked to get his breath back and figure out what was going on Spotted Wolf saw with fear in his eyes the side of the mountain began to shake as if something was preparing to burst forth from Father Earth, the way a rat crews through a dead animal to escape. The sound was unbearable now. It felt as if his teeth were being shaken out of his head, his vision blurring. Spotted Wolf managed to get to his feet and ran for the tree line. Doing his best to put some distance between himself and whatever was trying to break forth from the earth itself. He fell, no longer able to keep his balance from the vibration coursing though out his entire body. As he lay in the wood's edge, he watched as the very ground began to dance and fall away from the hill side, as a cave opened up to let loose a screaming monster breathing smoke and with a roar that shook the heavens above. Spotted Wolf could not stand the noise as it seemed to invade his very mind and, then the world was darkness as he lost consciousness.

About the Book
It has been two years since former federal army officer turned museum professor, John Morton, was recruited into a secret government agency and fell in love with a beautiful special agent / assassin while attempting to stop two renegade scientists determined to destroy the post-Civil War Union. But now just as he and Julia begin to build a wedded life together, her former boss reappears and shatters their peaceful existence with another assignment.
After they are recruited to confront a new danger threatening to instigate a new Indian war, John, Julia, and their former team that includes Father Peter Harrigan and genius black inventor Isaiah embark on a return expedition to the untamed western territories. As they face monster machines and dangers from Earth’s past, now only time will tell if they can survive the new horror associated with an international criminal cartel and stop a looming war, before it is too late for all of them.
In this continuing science fiction tale, a museum professor and his former special agent wife must gather their eclectic team and attempt to complete another dangerous assignment in a land threatened by the possibility of another ghastly war.
