Twenty years ago, Jack Rome was a young American soldier who risked everything to rescue a girl named Tessla from the brutal camel races of Oman. He barely survived the attempt-and spent the next two decades trying to forget.
Now Jack's an aging diplomat in Tehran, limping on a bad leg, haunted by tragedy, and long retired from heroics. Until Tessla walks back into his life with a desperate plea: help her rescue her kidnapped son from a ruthless Russian billionaire.
But this isn't just a simple abduction. The boy has been taken into Iran's remote volcanic mountains, where the billionaire believes the true Garden of Eden lies hidden-a place of ancient secrets and the mythical Tree of Life said to cure all disease.
Dragged unwillingly into a deadly quest, Jack must face slavers, mercenaries, and the brutal desert itself. Alongside Tessla, he'll uncover lost scrolls, decipher ancient clues, and battle men willing to kill for immortality. Because finding the Garden of Eden might be humanity's last hope... or unleash unimaginable evil.
Lost Eden is a pulse-pounding archaeological thriller packed with danger, romance, and the eternal clash of good versus greed. Perfect for fans of Clive Cussler, James Rollins, and Indiana Jones-style adventures where legend comes to life.
