Curse of the 8th Buddha

In 2013 San Francisco lies devastated after the pandemic of 2011 and the earthquake of 2012. Richard Sinclair is caught in the middle of intrigue and drama as mankind attempts a recovery. The Curse of the 8th Buddha is an adventure thriller in the new Knights Templar conspiracy genre. The tale involves the tragedy and turmoil faced by a new Templar initiate caught in the undertow of desperate conspiracies following the 2012 earth changes in the San Francisco Bay region. The secrets of what the Templars really are, their true agenda, and why humanity exists on Earth are all revealed through the hero's woes: he is a true trouble magnet extraordinaire. The story is filled with treachery, lust for gold, ancient mysteries and battles between good and evil, where perhaps only an eternal love can prevail against the curse of the 8th Buddha.
