"James Rollins and Matthew Reilly have a serious rival!"

"A cross between Indiana Jones, James Bond, Lethal Weapon and a Die Hard film script all in one."

THE ULTIMATE ADVENTURE BEGINS - dive into an edge-of-your-seat joyride through ancient ruins, deadly booby-traps and dastardly villains in an explosive, action-packed archaeological thriller perfect for fans of Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider and Uncharted, Andy McDermott, James Rollins and Clive Cussler.

THE XIBALBA PROPHECY
Book 1 of 5

On an expedition inside one of Venezuela's famous table mountains, disgraced archaeologist Benjamin King makes a startling discovery.

Sealed for millennia within the mountain's dark heart lies a macabre temple of skulls and a deadly relic he has hunted for years.

Could it be linked to the ancient African legend of the Moon Mask and its fabled power to show its wearer the future?

When news of the discovery reverberates around the world, it soon becomes apparent that there are those who will kill to protect the Moon Mask's secret . . . and those who will do far worse to control it.

As spies and assassins, tomb raiders and relic hunters prepare to descend on the mountain, King is thrust into a global conspiracy and the beginnings of an ancient prophecy that could spell doom for humankind . . .


"Think of Harrison Ford, Robert Langley, Angelina Joly, Flash Gordon, and all the Boys Own Papers rolled into one, and you get some idea of this rip-roaring tale of adventure."

"Great for anyone who likes the Clive Cussler or Matthew Reilly genre of adventure books."

"It brings many current and alternative ideas from archaeology and ethnography and spices it up with some political shenanigans. I loved it!"

"A cracking fast-paced epic thriller in the vein of Matthew Reilly, James Rollins and Andy McDermott, and one of the best debuts of this genre I have read."

"Indiana Jones: The Cyber Horizon" A Cyberpunk 2077 x Indiana Jones Crossover by Chris9417

In 1937, between the perilous adventures that made him a legend, Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones sets out for Egypt to uncover a rumored artifact called the Cosmic Eye-a relic whispered to hold power over space and time itself. When a dig beneath the sands of the Sahara takes a disastrous turn, the artifact tears open the fabric of reality, hurling Indy across time and space into the neon-drenched chaos of Night City in the year 2077. There, amid a world of chrome, corruption, and corporate tyranny, he crosses paths with Rogue Amendiares, the sharp-witted and battle-hardened Queen of the Afterlife. Caught between eras, Indy must adapt his old-world courage to a future ruled by machines and money while learning that the most dangerous treasures aren't ancient-they're alive, armed, and wear red lipstick. As Arasaka and Militech hunt him for the Eye's mysterious power, Indy and Rogue are drawn together by shared defiance, mutual fire, and a fate neither can control. Torn between returning to his own time and staying beside the woman who makes this broken world feel alive, Indiana Jones faces his most human adventure yet-where love, time, and destiny collide in the shadows of the future. ⸻ Content Warning: This story contains mature themes, including violence, strong language, sensual and implied sexual content, and elements of psychological and emotional intensity. It explores romance and intimacy in a gritty cyberpunk setting while maintaining the adventurous tone and moral core of an Indiana Jones tale. Reader discretion is advised.

Echoes of the Last War by VincentZhang

In 1978, when science and myth collide in a fierce debate, eight-year-old Mark Anderson unexpectedly discovers a mysterious jade pendant engraved with a feathered serpent and a trident in his grandmother's jewelry box. That pendant becomes the key that draws him into an unprecedented, time-spanning conflict. Mark joins forces with the obstinate scientist Dr. Evelyn Carter and the enigmatic mythologist Professor Sebastian Blackwood to form an unlikely archaeological team. They venture into the deadly jungles of Central America in search of a lost Maya temple-and dive into the dark depths of the Gulf of Mexico to uncover the sunken ruins of Atlantis. Guided by the pendant and a series of bizarre yet bone-chilling encounters, they unearth a truth that shatters everything they thought they knew: the Maya and Atlantis were not mere legends but two mighty civilizations that harnessed "spiritual energy." Their downfall was not a natural disaster but a cataclysmic war over faith and power that nearly annihilated the world. To survive, the ultimate deities of both cultures were forced to unite, sealing away the last vestiges of spiritual energy and the spark of civilization within a time-space rift, severing all contact with our realm. Now, stirred anew by Mark's pendant, the rift begins to unravel. The team must synchronize the most advanced scientific instruments with the oldest incantations to quell the rift's energy and prevent history from repeating itself. Along the way, they must confront supernatural threats, navigate ancient traps, and heal the deep divide between science and faith within their own ranks. Mark Anderson-a seemingly ordinary boy-holds the key to bridging two worlds and balancing two powers. As the "Inheritor of the Rift," his journey will unveil the ultimate secret of the gods' legacy and pen the first chapter of a new era where science and magic coexist: the Rift Epoch.
