The Search for Giselle

By David Kernot

After the war, a lost, beautiful woman reaches out and connects with Andrew Stone in a way he's never experienced. She's in danger. Andrew struggles against time to unlock the secrets of an ancient Arthurian device and tries to save the woman before Cthulhu dark forces take them both. Andrew gathers a military team and follows the trail out to Iraq to ancient Mesopotamia's Temple of Sin where he is grief stricken beyond words. Join him as he travels from Canada to Avebury in England, to the ancient monolith Silbury Hill and ancient burial chambers then to the ancient world of Mesopotamia in the search for Giselle.

This blended fantasy is sprinkled with military science fiction and a touch of the lovecraftian mythos, and should appeal to the dreamer who fears monsters under the bed. It is a prequel to his full-sized novel Gateway Through Time.
