This is an especially fine new direction for Sam B. Miller, blending fact, possible fact, humor, mystery, fantasy and human interest into one very successful novel. Grady Harp, January18 The quirky personality of Smith, then there was Nava, Jake and their adventurous encounters with death and how they dealt with them, it was all the recipe of something delicious. And delicious it was. Once the ring came into existence it was a whirlwind ride. It reminded me a bit of the movie series ‘The Lord of the Rings’. The conflict between Smith’s ancient belief and Jake’s thoughts were hilarious. Their retorts were funny and quirky. I also liked how the author cleverly incorporated the unstable relationship between Jake and his father. Even the ending was all flush, surprising and oozing with suspense. It is one of such books that you wish you could also watch it in form of movies.
Jakes discovers a 3,000 year old ring with the power to control demons as well as the weather and all animals. Jake starts to hear a voice that belongs to Smith, the computer-like interface who gives him guidance on how to deal with his newfound powers. Smith's single goal is to insure Jake is King of Earth with an appropriate Queen chosen by Smith. Both a rogue government and a secret society want the ring and its powers for their own wicked scheme. Smith's methods for protecting Jake are prone to violence. Jakes teams with Nava, a no-holds barred woman with unique training. Smith doesn't like her hair. The government and the secret society have just met their match.

The writing style and breaks between paragraphs make it an enjoyable read giving the reader chance to digest what is happening and follow the story line. The research and historic events is first rate. The excellent character traits bring the story to life.
What is it about archaeology and the things we find that intrigue modern man? Is it because we cannot understand the rituals and artifacts and have to create our own stories to satisfy our minds?
A very easy to read book with intrigue and a twist to the plot, which will have appeal to all age groups because of the interest everyone holds over tombs, ancient rulers and the beliefs they held.
An excellent story about the mystique of ancient times and the power that these treasures hold over us and in the pursuit of those treasures the conflict caused between good and evil. I will be sure to look out for the authors other books. ( )
