Charlie's Crystal Skull (Charlie's Quest: Mysteries of the Ancient World Book 2) by Renee Wehrle (3 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

Charlie knows she has something remarkable -- something otherworldly -- as she studies the crystal skull she found in a gloomy tomb in Mexico. But she can't tell her parents yet, since she has been rummaging around after dark in the jungle of Maya ruins, potentially defiling sacred archeological finds. The feeling she gets from the skull reminds her of when she and her best friend, Wolf, first met Osiris, the god of resurrection, on their last adventure, in ancient Egypt... Then the skull speaks to her. Charlie has seen parts of the world most kids only hear about, as her parents take her on archaeological adventures around the globe. But she doesn't feel so lucky when she learns the crystal skull belongs to the legendary Queen of Xibalba, who sends Charlie on a dangerous quest. She's joined by Wolf (who's grown disarmingly tall and handsome since she last saw him!) and a mysterious little storekeeper with bushy eyebrows and a deep knowledge of the jungle's secrets. Will the two teenagers and their quirky guide be able to return the skull to its rightful owner -- much less survive the journey to the past? If you dream of traveling to undiscovered places or learning about the mythical past, this series will take you on unchartered adventures. If you enjoy the movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, or the Percy Jackson book series, or mystery adventures like the National Park Mystery Series, you'll love Charlie's Crystal Skull. Charlie's fantastical journey continues.

In an attempt to flee, Ash stumbles back into the mirror and finds himself trapped in its shadowy world.

Simian's Gate: A Terminus Series Novel by Stephen Donald Huff (4 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

During his service as an intern at the SETI Project, Simian Wynwood fatefully records "first contact" with an alien intelligence. Captured in high-fidelity analog format, this broadcast message contains vast stores of advanced, world-changing technology. Within months, this so-called SETI-Tech becomes widely available to the general populous, and disturbing events rapidly begin to unfold around the planet as an apparently benevolent alien influence slowly embraces and then seizes control of nearly every aspect of human civilization. Horrified by his role in its discovery, Simian fears this fabulous "gift" is, in fact, a sinister alien plot hidden inside a technological Trojan Horse, but his is an isolated opinion utterly ignored by a global population of technophiles gone mad. Ironically, when violent fanatics kidnap him to make a live broadcast protest of his torturous execution, he cannot make them believe that he empathizes with their xenophobic paranoia, and his agonizing end seems assured. Whether by grace of fate or misfortune, a shocking outburst of violent anarchy will ultimately save him from one bloody death, only to condemn him, and all of humanity, to extinction when humankind unleashes the genocidal Terminus Signal upon opening Simian's Gate.
