During an expedition in Egypt, a fringe archeologist named Dennis Mathews discovered evidence of a highly advanced, 15,000 year old civilization. To understand the source and meaning of his discovery, Dennis pleaded for help from his business partner Gary Benson, and an ex-girlfriend Susan Rymer. The evidence was an artifact that held the key to an ancient power and instructions detailing the use and functions of the ancient crystal skulls. The discovery gained the notice of a shadow governmental organization that would stop at nothing to gain control of the mythical ancient source of power. A power they viewed as a key to world domination and economic control. Dennis, Gary, and Susan embarked on a global race to stay one-step ahead of assassination attempts while they discovered the real power, the advanced knowledge of the ancient society trapped within a crystal skull. Brought together by the quest for knowledge and discovery, Dennis, Gary, and Susan raced to stay alive and release knowledge that could benefit all of humanity.
Though the story in Book 1 (Crystal Gift) appears to end, it is just the beginning of a longer adventure. An adventure that not only details the true function of the ancient crystal skull, but also battles an evil waiting for over 15,000 years to once again control and rule the entire planet. The adventures of the Crystal Skull Trilogy continue in Crystal Grotto (Book 2 of this Trilogy).
