The End of Eden: An Archaeology Thriller
The End of Eden: An Archaeology Thriller
A biblical legend. A hidden danger. A rogue archaeologist. A Nazi Plot.
Marah Chase has everything she wants. Her academic career is back on track, she's moved into a Manhattan apartment, and a dream job is waiting at the American Museum of Natural History. So why can't she seem to stop slipping into her old ways, traveling the world in search of lost relics and buried treasure? Back out in the field, Chase finds the lost Ark of the Covenant, a discovery that could trigger a holy war. The Ark also brings Chase into conflict with another legendary relic runner, August Nash, and the clash between them is one the entire underground smuggling community has been waiting for - and it's not one that will end anytime soon. Upon returning home, Chase is hired by US soda billionaire Lauren Stanford to find the Fountain of Youth. At first, Chase dismisses this idea. But then Stanford tells her that an old friend found some information on the Fountain's location and is now missing. Chase agrees to take the job - but only to find her friend - and enlists allies along the way on a trail from New York to London and then on to Glasgow. Behind the myth, they find, lies a much older secret, one that could verify or refute the bible, and rewrite everything we know. With the Garden of Eden in her sights, Chase must get there ahead of Nash and his shadowy employer. Whoever wins will have control over the future of humanity. Marah Chase and the Fountain of Youth is a tense, exciting, and epic adventure novel, spanning three continents and broadening the world of the Marah Chase series, placing Chase in a unique position to confront questions of identity, faith, imperialism, and appropriation. "Marah Chase is cunning, empowered, and queer, a Lara Croft for the 21st century." -John Copenhaver
"Ever wonder what Raiders of the Lost Ark would be like if it was set in the present day and Marian Ravenwood got to do all the cool stuff instead of Indiana Jones?" - Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff
"Stringer effortlessly weaves a complex web of espionage and betrayal around a rip-snorting, larger-than-life adventure in the spirit of Indiana Jones." - Antony Johnston, creator of 'Atomic Blonde' and 'The Exphoria Code'
"Stringer, author of the Sam Ireland and Eoin Miller mysteries, has a winner here with Marah Chase―pulse-pounding adventure, in the best Indiana Jones tradition, with a charismatic gay woman fuelling the action." - Booklist (starred)
