Book One in The Powers That Be trilogy, THE GOLDEN ELLIPSE draws parallels between the Great Pyramid's mysterious origin and Fermi's paradox in an epoch-spanning story rich in history and paranormal intrigue with an eclectic cast of dimensional characters, gritty dialogue, dark humor, and a clandestine organization known as The Powers That Be (PTB), chartered to foster humankind's destiny in a crowded universe.
In a domed granite chamber deep beneath the Giza Plateau, a proto-pyramidical beacon pulses a stern message into the cosmos for millennia to leave Earth alone as a dark spectral force conspires to terminate the beacon's warning by removing its infinite power, the golden ellipse.
In 1944, a Nazi spy unwittingly loots the enigmatic gold relic. In the fog of world war, it falls into the hands of a brash American fighter pilot who buries the prized contraband in the Libyan desert before his paranormal demise on a daring air raid in the south of France.
A century later, in the AI-driven world of 2044 replete with human replicants and alien tech, intrepid honeymooners Rachel and Owen Haig-fresh off a space tourism touchdown in France-are hijacked by Rachel's ghostly ancestor onto a heart-pounding odyssey to locate the legendary golden ellipse and restart the beacon's signal before time runs out.
The treacherous quest culminates in a harrowing pitch-black descent beneath the Giza Plateau illuminated by Rachel's transformational Blue Spark fate as reptilian invaders unleashed by the beacon's century of silence tear open Earth's skies.
