About this ebook
Claire is dead.
She’s been the love of Kevin Foster’s life for as long as he can remember; his soulmate, and his best friend.
Before she dies, Claire, an archaeologist, goes on an expedition to the Middle East and comes across evidence supporting the existence of a biblical, antediluvian site the ancients called Heaven’s Oasis, and that certain ancient artifacts can lead her to it. Claire believes that finding this site will help prove the Bible's veracity, and provide indisputable evidence of God's existence.
Following her unexpected death Claire's expeditions become public knowledge, and the subsequent assaults against her reputation from the scientific community and the media are both brutal and relentless.
Furious at the public ridicule and to prove she was right, Kevin decides to pick up where Claire left off in her search and to finish what she started. He’s willing to sacrifice everything, even his life, to restore her reputation and to honor her memory.
A billionaire arms dealer named Kain Masterson has also been searching for the Oasis, however, intending to keep what he finds for himself. The deadly competition soon becomes a struggle just to stay alive in the race to find the artifacts, follow the clues, and ultimately to find Heaven’s Oasis.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very well done archaeology discovery thriller with an excellent storyline and realistic well developed characters. The story was fast paced and hard to put down. I will definitely be recommending this book to family and friends.I received this book from the author thru Library Thing in exchange for an honest review.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Having recently read another book given to me for an honest review, also with an archaeological theme, I was expecting a somewhat similar book. I couldn’t have been more wrong because the only similarity lies in the involvement of archaeology and a young man’s desire to prove his wife right. Beyond that it is totally different.Jeff Horton weaves a picture of a very dedicated young man in Kevin – nothing will stop him in his efforts to justify his dead wife’s assertions. The manner of the telling of his story is interesting, even though in the early stages it can be a little confusing. Horton uses various points along the timeline to develop the plot, and must have spent quite a time developing the complexity of the unfolding of events because the timeline is not used chronologically – this can challenge the reader a little in keeping up with what is happening.That being said the story is quite a gripping one – not one with a series of clues that have to be unravelled, although there is need for understanding of Claire’s notes. I would not wish to say any more about the plot because that would create spoilers. I would say, though, that the book is resolved in a very much unexpected way, and one that gave me a great deal of pleasure as well as giving bright hope for the future – in fact it is quite stunning, and eminently desirable!Well done, Mr. Horton, I thoroughly enjoyed this creation.

HortonCompleted On: 11/14/2016Review Rating: 5 stars!Reviewed By Christian Sia for Readers’ FavoriteBefore her death, Claire was on the verge of making one of the greatest discoveries in archaeology, one that could verify the claim about the existence of a place known as Heaven’s Oasis, a discovery that would render biblical facts indisputable. Now, after her death, things change. She becomes an object of ridicule in the archaeological community. And worst of all, many people already know about what she had been working on before her death. Would her entire efforts be in vain? Only one person is ready to stand up to uphold her name, Kevin Foster, a man who’s been the love of her life. He has to prove that Claire wasn’t making unfounded claims; he has to clear her name. Which is why Kevin decides to take up where his lover left off. Can he complete the expedition and lay bare centuries-old secrets that could prove the existence of God? Heaven's Oasis by Jeff W Horton is a thriller that will delight readers who love intrigue, treasure hunts, and stories laced with symbolism and artifacts. The story is well told and the reader knows the conflict will become huge when the knowledge of what Claire had been working on becomes public. The introduction of a billionaire arms dealer, Kain Masterson, raises the stakes. Why does he want so desperately to discover the hidden oasis? Who will get to the truth first? It is interesting to watch the players in this deadly game as they race towards the clues and artifacts. The characters are very compelling and well sculpted. The pace is fast and the entire story holds a lot in store for curious readers. Jeff W Horton has created a work of great entertainment in Heaven’s Oasis. The writing is beautiful and the powerful descriptions take readers on a thrill ride through the hidden regions of the Middle East.
