Описание:
Targeted for abduction, forty-year-old Peen Rogers' morning routine is turned upside down, forcing him to evade international criminals hunting a mysterious art treasure.
Peen bands together with quick-witted Tora Armstrong, a history doctoral student who's desperately searching for Peen's uncle, Professor Edmund Rogers.
Thwarting their efforts are Damon Kant, a ruthless man who will kill anyone that blocks his pursuit of the panels, and FBI Agent Michael Jorden, who seeks Peen in connection with murder.
To find Professor Rogers, Peen and Tora must elude their pursuers and solve one of the greatest art mysteries of all time: the disappearance of the Amber Panels, a world wonder created in the 1700s that vanished during World War II. But, can they do it in time?
Here are some reviews from readers of the pre-release version:
David Eilers has written an exciting fast paced yet well balanced thriller. The compelling story spans both gritty and beautiful locations while making a jump from war-torn Europe to the supposedly peaceful American Northwest, all the while exposing the characters' personalities in ways that add proper depth to the story. Likable but not perfect heroes, and sinister yet understandable villains. And somehow Dave weaves in jeep or two. I can recommend this book without reservation; however, it opens fast and keeps moving, so you may want to plan for reading it straight through. This book will also make great movie material. (In a way, it reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest.) - Guy Kathe
You know, I think this book is on par with most any well known author I've ever read, in fact it's much better than a lot of the Clive Cussler books. His stories are great but the banter between his characters sometimes is pretty unrealistic. - Bob Christy
Amber panels........never would have picked up such a book in a bookstore.....skimmed thru it backwards and said...this is going to be boring. Not my cup of tea. Then.. I got bored and needed to read something...so I started in. Holy historical novel, batman, you have a HIT. Could NOT put it down. Another home run. Better than your last, which was great. I loved how you got jeeps involved. - Bill Foshay

Описание: The award-winning novel about being out, being proud, and being ready for something else. Pre-order the companion novel Honestly Ben now (out 3/28/17) Rafe is a normal teenager from Boulder, Colorado. He plays soccer. He's won skiing prizes. He likes to write. And, oh yeah, he's gay. He's been out since 8th grade, and he isn't teased, and he goes to other high schools and talks about tolerance and stuff. And while that's important, all Rafe really wants is to just be a regular guy. Not that GAY guy. To have it be a part of who he is, but not the headline, every single time. So when he transfers to an all-boys' boarding school in New England, he decides to keep his sexuality a secret -- not so much going back in the closet as starting over with a clean slate. But then he sees a classmate breaking down. He meets a teacher who challenges him to write his story. And most of all, he falls in love with Ben... who doesn't even know that love is possible.
