The Martian Pendant: A Novel of Earthshaking Discovery

By Patrick Ellsworth Taylor

An odd pendant, handed down in her family for hundreds of years serves as a catalyst for Diana Howard, a beautiful English archaeologist, to envision, and then write about, a million year old voyage to earth. Inspired by her insights about the demise of life on Mars, correlating with her analysis of unusual signals emanating from the Rift Valley of East Africa, she becomes involved in an Archaeological dig there. Despite malevolent forces arrayed against her and her colleagues, they are led to a discovery of earth-shaking proportions. Thereafter, the fabulous discoveries are threatened with theft by the Soviet Union and the Mafia, destruction by the Catholic Church, and confiscation by the U.S. Government. Through it all, a romantic relationship grows despite the many hardships she endures. Her adventures are a triumph of a woman's strengths, intuition and intelligence.
