Brody New Novel

The third novel in my "Templars in America" series, Powdered Gold, is now out. This follows Cabal of the Westford Knight and Thief on the Cross. 

Again, the plot turns on artifacts that seem to indicate exploration of America before Columbus. The characters focus primarily on the Mustang Mountain Rune Stone (top) and the Tucson Lead Artifacts, pictured here.

 

 

The book also reveals some fascinating new alignments at both America's Stonehenge and the Newport Tower.

The book is available now at Amazon, with Kindle and Nook coming live over the next week:

Below is a synopsis of the story.

*************************************************************

Historian Cameron Thorne and his fiancée Amanda Spencer don’t for a second believe the Ark of the Covenant is hidden in a cave in the Arizona desert. But when a militant Survivalist leads them to a radioactive replica of the Ark, filled with a mysterious white powder, they begin to wonder if legends of Templar Knights visiting the American Southwest on a secret mission might be true. What is this strange white powder? And is it the key to understanding the true power of both Moses and the sacred Ark of the Covenant?

In the deserts of the American Southwest, they examine artifacts such as the Mustang Mountain Rune Stone, the Tucson Lead artifacts, the Los Lunas Decalogue Stone and the Grand Canyon cave drawings—do these objects, along with ancient Aztec/Toltec legends, somehow tie back to the Knights Templar or their French forbearers?

Working with a militant survivalist attempting to go “off grid” in the Arizona foothills, Cam and Amanda also investigate a strange, seemingly-magical substance called White Powdered Gold, or ORME, derived from the desert sands of Arizona. They are intrigued by the similarities between this substance and manna, the miraculous food that nourished the Israelites while they wandered in the desert. Is it possible that White Powdered Gold is the key to understanding the mysteries of, and power behind, the sacred Ark of the Covenant? More ominously, has a radicalized group within the Defense Department reached the same conclusion and vowed to silence anyone who might disclose this secret?
