Book One in The Powers That Be trilogy, THE GOLDEN ELLIPSE draws parallels between the Great Pyramid's mysterious origin and Fermi's paradox in an epoch-spanning story rich in history and paranormal intrigue with an eclectic cast of dimensional characters, gritty dialogue, dark humor, and a clandestine organization known as The Powers That Be (PTB), chartered to foster humankind's destiny in a crowded universe.

In a domed granite chamber deep beneath the Giza Plateau, a proto-pyramidical beacon pulses a stern message into the cosmos for millennia to leave Earth alone as a dark spectral force conspires to terminate the beacon's warning by removing its infinite power, the golden ellipse.

In 1944, a Nazi spy unwittingly loots the enigmatic gold relic. In the fog of world war, it falls into the hands of a brash American fighter pilot who buries the prized contraband in the Libyan desert before his paranormal demise on a daring air raid in the south of France.

A century later, in the AI-driven world of 2044 replete with human replicants and alien tech, intrepid honeymooners Rachel and Owen Haig-fresh off a space tourism touchdown in France-are hijacked by Rachel's ghostly ancestor onto a heart-pounding odyssey to locate the legendary golden ellipse and restart the beacon's signal before time runs out.

The treacherous quest culminates in a harrowing pitch-black descent beneath the Giza Plateau illuminated by Rachel's transformational Blue Spark fate as reptilian invaders unleashed by the beacon's century of silence tear open Earth's skies.

It's just the fate of the world. No pressure.
