Explorers: The past does not give up its secrets willingly

By Stephen Spanoudis

At age seventeen, Exander Metro already has a resume most people couldn't fill in a lifetime. Not that it's been easy. Hardly a year goes by when he hasn't been dead at least once. How can he still be alive? The mysterious Woman in Black knows. So does Ms. Lim, his T'ai chi instructor. His name marks him as "the Defending Man," destined to play a key role in the Game of Life and Death - a game he must struggle to learn as the Fates themselves seem to argue over his existence. The next two years might just be the most dangerous of all, as unproven new technologies including a 'magic' diving suit, enable him to delve into the sands beneath the Aegean Sea, bringing ancient artifacts, and the secrets they have kept buried for millennia, back into the light.

Welcome to the Republic of Dreams, where unseen combatants wage a proxy war in a world that is equal parts science, history, metaphor and mystery. Set in the second half of the 22nd century, Explorers, book two in the series, takes us to Greece to meet the extended Metro family, and then to California to meet Meredith Enarson, who, like Exander himself, may be an echo of something from the past, and may have a unique role to play in the Game - if she lives long enough.
