Set on the fictional
island of Sauvellakalorra in the not-so-distant future, the Bow of Anu
finds a rogue team of corporate tomb robbers poised to plunder an
untouched (and potentially lucrative) ancient burial site. What (and who)
they discover is unexpected and well beyond their ability to understand.
As they and their company bosses race to uncover the secrets upon which
they have stumbled, members of an unknown organization--claiming ownership
of the island--work to slow or stop them from unravelling a dangerous
truth.
[Excerpt:] When Team Leader Tanisha Watkins led her people int the
dark cavern, it was with a great deal of caution. The path to the
central altar (which she ardently believed held any number of
sacrificial victims and the gold that would be buried with them) was
filled with those nasty stones. Her group had spent three days shearing
them of their stinging needles, hauling them to the surface, clearing a
narrow path into the pit. So intent was Tanisha’s focus that, until the
last moment, she failed to notice the beautiful young black woman
sitting in a folding aluminum camp chair beside the pile of bones,
sipping a cup of coffee. In a split second her mind registered a variety
of irrelevant bits of data: the woman was not only beautiful, she was
beyond beautiful; her hair was perfect; her skin was perfect; she was
wearing makeup (a luxury the women on her team had forgotten about for
the past several days); and her clothes were clean and pressed (another
stark contrast to her own crew of bums).
