And as they do, more of them die. Are these deaths linked together in some way? How could they be?The suspenseful story moves back and forth between the unfolding reunion gone bad and the childhood recollections of Dennis, who grew up on the same street as his friends in a small suburb of Detroit. Their working class neighborhood in Terrapin Township is home to many colorful and complex characters, whose interconnected lives create the backdrop to youthful adventures and bittersweet experiences.Looming largest in the memory of Dennis is the striking character of his widowed father, TA--Marine veteran of the Korean War and blue-collar philosopher.

Hardback. Condition: Good. Between the two world wars, on a hike in the English countryside, Professor John Hill takes refuge from a violent storm in a cave. There he nearly loses his life, but he also makes an astonishing discovery -- an ancient manuscript housed in a cunningly crafted metal box. Though a philologist by profession, Hill cannot identify the language used in the manuscript and the time period in which it is was made, but he knows enough to make an educated guess -- that the book and its case are the fruits of a long-lost, but advanced civilization. The translation of the manuscript and the search for its origins become a life-long quest for Hill. As he uncovers an epic that both enchants and inspires him, he tracks down scholars from Oxford to Paris who can give him clues. Along the way, he meets several intriguing characters, including a man keenly interested in obtaining artifacts from a long-lost civilization that he believes was the creation of a superior race, and will help him fulfill his ambition to rule other men. Concluding that Hill must have found something that may help him in this quest, but knowing not what it is and where it is hidden, he has Hill, his friends at Oxford, and his family shadowed and threatened until finally he and Hill face off in a final, climatic confrontation. A story that features a giant pirate and slaver, a human chameleon on a perilous metaphysical journey, a mysterious hermit, and creatures both deadly and beautiful, this is a novel that explores the consequences of the predominant ideas of the 20th Century. …
