When Professor Beardsley Rowe wrote a paper about the development of human consciousness, he could never have imagined what that would lead to.

From America to Australia's Blue Mountains and beyond, a series of mysteries unfold which lead the Professor and his feisty research assistant, Lyn Stillman, on a fascinating trail of discovery.

All seeming unrelated, strange occurrences, each underpinned by its own strange history, determine the course of events, propelling the colleagues to one dramatic climax, and then, with the intrusion of elements completely unforeseen, to another, which have deadly implications for the world.

If you love mystery, history and adventure, this is the book for you.
