THE MEDUSA AMULET
FLORENCE, 1538. Artist Benvenuto Cellini creates the Medusa amulet: a work of unimaginable power -- and menace. The amulet can grant immortality to any who stare into it on a moonlit night, but it soon falls into the wrong hands. CHICAGO, THE PRESENT DAY. Art historian David Franco's beloved sister, Sarah, is dying of cancer. When a mysterious widow offers him one million dollars to find the legendary amulet, he seizes the chance to pay off Sarah's medical bills -- and offer her a chance of survival. The result is a desperate race against time that will take him across centuries and continents, from American archives to Renaissance courts, from the ramparts of the French Revolution to the dark depths of the Nazi party. And there are others who have heard of the amulet's powers, and they will stop at nothing to find it . . . BLOOD AND ICE
Journalist Michael Wilde -- his world shattered by a personal tragedy -- has come to the South Pole looking for a new lease on life. But what he finds on a routine dive in the polar sea is something else entirely: a young man and woman, bound with chains and sealed forever in a block of ice. Beside them lies a chest filled with a disturbing cargo. Wilde's search to unravel the mystery of this doomed couple will lead from the battlefields of the Crimean War to the unexplored depths of the Antarctic Ocean, from the ill-fated charge of the Light Brigade to an age-old curse that survives to this day. And as the ice around the lovers begins to melt, Wilde will witness what may be a miracle -- or a nightmare -- in the making. For what is dead, he learns, may not always be gone . . . BESTIARY
Yesterday, only a privileged few understood the mysteries of this ancient book, the Bestiary. But soon the whole world will know. A beautifully illuminated manuscript, from a long forgotten land, its terrible secrets have now been unleashed -- and only the brilliant young paleontologist, Carter Cox, can avert the impending disaster. VIGIL
In the caves beneath an Italian lake, the fossil of a clawed creature older than the earth has been disinterred. In the Judaean desert, a legendary parchment has been discovered. One reveals the secrets of Heaven ... one foretells an impending Hell. ROBERT’S RULES OF WRITING
