Return To Hawaii: A Donovan Cross Novel

 Book Cover Man Pointing a Gun




Donovan Cross is the NIA’s legendary secret agent. He has been sent on dozens of missions in every corner of the globe and will stop at nothing to achieve his goal. Originally from Hawaii, Cross has not returned home in nearly 30 years. The unexpected death of his parents altered the course of his life. Instead of attending a prestigious college on a scholarship, he chose a path of spying and espionage. When the Agency ordered him to return to his birthplace, he anticipated confronting painful memories of his parents' passing. Unbeknownst to him, his presence on the island is crucial to addressing a sensitive global crisis: China's imminent invasion of Taiwan. Hawaii is being used, shrouded in secrecy, to facilitate this invasion. The skills Cross has honed over the years and his knowledge of the island's secrets will lead him and his newfound ally, the beautiful Jade Viper, on the thrill ride of a lifetime. _________________________________________________________________________

PROJET LITHIUM

  Book Cover




L’HISTOIRE Au cœur des glaces nordiques, une découverte archéologique menace de bouleverser l’histoire humaine. Élisa Torres, brillante chercheuse est appelée en Norvège pour analyser d’anciens artefacts retrouvés sous la mer du Nord. Mais lorsqu’un mystérieux silex identique est mis au jour à des milliers de kilomètres, au cœur du désert de Salars d’Uyuni, en Bolivie, une énigme scientifique et géopolitique se dessine. Entre explorations sous-marines, secrets enfouis et enjeux environnementaux, Élisa et son équipe se retrouvent pris dans une course contre la montre. Entre le passé et l’avenir, entre savoir et pouvoir, une seule question demeure : jusqu’où sommes-nous prêts à aller pour révéler – ou dissimuler – la vérité ? SYNOPSIS Ce roman Projet Lithium s’appuie sur des références variées, allant de l’histoire (conquête espagnole, civilisations perdues), à la psychologie (modèles de personnalité, éducation), en passant par la géopolitique (exploitation du lithium), la technologie (IA et énergies renouvelables), et l’anthropologie (systèmes d’écriture). L’univers décrit dans ce projet entre en résonance avec plusieurs courants de pensée contemporains, notamment : • L’idée d’une civilisation avancée et cachée (Luminia), inspirée par les théories alternatives sur Doggerland et les civilisations englouties. • Une approche éducative innovante, fondée sur des principes psychologiques éprouvés (Jung, Berne, Bandura). • Une vision technologique et écologique, proche des travaux de Rifkin et Smil sur les villes durables. • L’importance croissante de l’IA, illustrée par des références à Minsky, Bostrom et Kurzweil. Un thriller scientifique haletant où l’archéologie, la psychologie et la géopolitique se mêlent dans une quête fascinante aux confins du monde et de l’histoire.

English Translation:

THE STORY

Deep in the Nordic ice, an archaeological discovery threatens to upend human history. Élisa Torres, a brilliant researcher, is called to Norway to analyze ancient artifacts found under the North Sea. But when a mysterious, identical flint is unearthed thousands of kilometers away, in the heart of the Salars de Uyuni desert in Bolivia, a scientific and geopolitical enigma emerges. Between underwater exploration, buried secrets, and environmental issues, Élisa and her team find themselves caught in a race against time. Between past and future, between knowledge and power, only one question remains: how far are we willing to go to reveal—or conceal—the truth?

SYNOPSIS This novel, Project Lithium, draws on a variety of references, ranging from history (Spanish conquest, lost civilizations), to psychology (personality models, education), through geopolitics (lithium mining), technology (AI and renewable energies), and anthropology (writing systems).

The universe described in this project resonates with several contemporary schools of thought, including:

• The idea of an advanced and hidden civilization (Luminia), inspired by alternative theories on Doggerland and sunken civilizations.
• An innovative educational approach, based on proven psychological principles (Jung, Berne, Bandura).
• A technological and ecological vision, close to the work of Rifkin and Smil on sustainable cities.
• The growing importance of AI, illustrated by references to Minsky, Bostrom and Kurzweil.

A gripping scientific thriller where archaeology, psychology, and geopolitics combine in a fascinating quest to the far reaches of the world and history.

BONE HASH

 Book Cover Bone Hash


BONE HASH


In the vast untamed desert of northern Arizona, Aideen Connor signs on as lead archaeologist at Moenkopi Ridge hoping to find peace after witnessing her husband’s violent death. Instead, she stumbles into a mystery as ancient and dangerous as the land itself. Shortly after she arrives, Aideen’s team uncovers a “bone hash,” human bones showing evidence of prehistoric cannibalism. Her job takes on a darker turn when a brutal murder shocks the residents of the nearby Hopi Reservation. Unsettling connections begin to emerge between her excavation and the crime.

Trust from the local community fractures, threats escalate, and Aideen’s world begins to unravel. First her boss blames her when the entire bone hash is stolen. Then local Native Americans accuse her of disrespecting their ancestors. Violent threats against her ensue: a sheep is killed, viciously eviscerated and left under her residential trailer. A photo of her dead husband is stolen from her bedroom and stuck in its blood. All threats point to a grim reality: someone wants her gone.

As her desperation grows, Aideen turns to Frank Nakai, the BLM Special Agent assigned to the case. But Frank’s presence is as complicating as it is compelling, leaving Aideen torn between grief and her unexpected attraction. When Frank is ordered to return to his office in Santa Fe, Aideen must navigate a maze of buried truths with only her dog, Dakota for companionship. Every clue leads her closer to danger and the secrets buried at Moenkopi Ridge. Secrets that could cost her more than her career—they could cost her life.
