The End of Eden: A Marah Chase Archaeological Thriller

By Jay Stringer

FIND EDEN. SAVE THE WORLD.

A rogue archaeologist. A Nazi plot. The Garden of Eden.

Marah Chase is back. This time we find her mid-adventure as she rescues the ark of the covenant from a rival relic runner, August Nash. Nash was Chase's mentor for a time when she first entered the shady world of the black market, and a direct competition between them is the heavyweight clash the entire underground smuggling community has been waiting for.

Returning to New York to once again try and pick up the pieces of her academic life, Chase is hired by US soda billionaire Lauren Stanford to find the Fountain of Youth. Stanford's motives are murky. Why would a soda company want to be the first to find the water of life, if not to put a price tag on it? Chase is set to refuse, believing the fountain is nothing more than a historical hoax, but an old friend with a clue to its location has gone missing. Chase agrees to take the job-but only to find her friend-and enlists allies along the way on a trail from New York to London, and then on to Glasgow.

But the Fountain is a smokescreen. A cover for something much older, much more terrifying. Chase finds herself in a race to find the legendary Garden of Eden ahead of August Nash and a group of Nazis. Whoever gets there first will have control over the future of humanity, and this time the contest between Chase and Nash will be to the death.

The End of Eden is a tense, exciting, and epic adventure novel, spanning three continents and confronting questions of identity, faith, imperialism, and appropriation. A contemporary homage to the best adventure stories of literature, television, and film, World War Zero is an action-packed, globe-trotting quest, perfect for anyone who's ever thought Indy really ought to be Jewish, female, and gay.

Fans of Indiana Jones, Sigma Force, Sean Wyatt, Tom Wagner, Cotton Malone, and Lincoln Child will love Marah Chase.
