AN ANCIENT MAP RECOVERED FROM A SAFE IN THE WRECK OF THE TITANIC…

IT POINTS TO AN ARK

ARK FOUND

April 15, 1912, North Atlantic Ocean, aboard the R.M.S. Titanic

A young archaeologist travelling to New York City aboard the liner’s maiden voyage has brought along an intriguing find he hopes to sell to an antiquities collector. When the ship sinks, his artifact is still inside a safe.

Present Day, North Atlantic Ocean, Site of the R.M.S. Titanic shipwreck

When a deep sea submersible dive to the wreck of the Titanic recovers a safe, Carter Hunt and Jayden Takada look forward to seeing if its contents include the rumored map. A map that, if real, would show the way to a find of biblical proportions.

But Omega Team isn’t the only group looking for the map. After an underwater battle inside the Titanic with an unknown submersible, Carter and Jayden manage to escape with their lives. But their troubles are only beginning as they are forced to do battle with a shadowy cabal that will stop at nothing to control the planet’s most sought-after hallmarks of humanity.

DESCRIPTION:

TWO PRIMITIVE TRIBES LIVING HALF A WORLD APART.
ONE GUARDED REVELATION THAT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE SEEN.
AND A CALAMITY ABOUT TO BE UNLEASHED.

In the jungle cities of the Amazon, thousands of tribal descendants suddenly drop dead at the exact same moment for no apparent reason. Strange truths start to emerge that lead respected ecologist, Antonio Medina, into the deepest reaches of the rain forest, to a tribe that has seen virtually zero contact with the outside world. 

On the other side of the planet, in the Indian Ocean, anthropologist Stel Foster is on a similar quest. When he learns of unlikely ties to the tribe in Brazil that his long-time professional rival, Antonio Medina, is investigating, he agrees to work together with the ecologist.

Antonio isn’t sure he can trust Foster, but together they are forced to solve a perilous puzzle, with the most alarming piece being two halves of a strange artifact safeguarded by both tribes for thousands of years. 

Even worse, a powerful secret society will stop at nothing to control the ultimate truth the artifact holds. With options running short and time even shorter, our comprehension of what it means to be human is about to shift forever.

EXCERPT:

Brazilian Amazon, near the Peruvian border

Richards winked at Antonio and gave him the thumbs up sign. So far so good. At least it didn’t seem like they were about to be personally ordered to leave the country by the president himself. The technician stood at the entrance to the tent, as if standing watch, expecting a national guard platoon to coming rolling up at any moment.

Antonio continued with the radio. “Very well, Mr. President, thank you for asking, and thank you for your condolences. To what do I owe the pleasure of your radio call to our humble jungle camp?”

Richards nodded. Get right to the point. The Brazilian president answered.

“A situation has developed that you may be able to assist us with. I understand it would take up your valuable research time, but in return I am of course prepared to extend your visa for as long as necessary, as well as providing reasonable, though not extravagant, financial compensation.”

“My team and I are happy to assist your government, Señor. Please let me know what you need.”

“Thank you, Dr. Medina. There has been an unfortunate event that is soon to hit the news wires. Even from your humble jungle camp, as you call it, I am certain that you will hear of it over the radio. So let me give you the news first.” The president paused.

“Listening, Mr. President.”

Brazil’s leader continued to transmit. “Less than an hour ago, hundreds of people were killed in several of my country’s jungle cities, as well as at least one in Peru: Iquitos, Santarem, Belem, Manaus, and Macapá. At latest count, the death toll stood at 484 people all told; men, women and children.”

Shocked silence reigned for a moment until the president asked if the connection was still good.

“Yes, we are here,” Antonio transmitted. “Just stunned, trying to process the terrible news. What happened to these people? Has there been a terrorist attack?” At the door, the technician glanced up to the sky, as if expecting an air raid of some sort at any second.

The president’s voice came back over the speaker. “We are not yet certain, but if it is, it is the strangest terror attack the world has ever seen.” He paused without elaborating, so Antonio voiced the question on his and Richards’ minds.

“How did these people die?”

The president cleared his throat before answering. “We’re still not exactly sure—autopsies are being conducted as we speak—but it appears as though they all literally dropped dead of natural causes. Their hearts simply stopped beating, their brain activity ceased, and they died. One observer in Manaus said it was as if the people simply ‘expired’ without warning.”

Antonio and Richards traded looks, during which Richards mouthed the word, poison?

“Do you suspect a terror attack by poison, Mr. President?” Antonio was beginning to wonder why the president wanted to speak with him about this matter that seemed more suited for the military.

“We have no reason to think as such at this time.”

“Perhaps the water supply has been poisoned in the Amazon basin?” Antonio threw out.

“We considered that possibility, but it doesn’t explain why only some people died. Many more thousands of persons living in those cities drank the water than the 500 or so who died, and no one else is even sick.”

Puzzled silence once again filled the tent and the airwaves. “It must be some sort of targeted attack, sir,“ Antonio began. “What else could—“ But the president cut him off.

“Targeted, perhaps, yes. But it still doesn’t seem like terrorism. Let me explain. There is something I have not yet told you. Something I would like to remain confidential for as long as possible, though it is doubtful that will last long.”

“The information will not leave our camp unless directed by your office, sir.”

“Thank you. First of all, every one of the victims was a tribal descendant of indigenous rain forest peoples found in either the Brazilian or Peruvian Amazon.”

“Sounds like maybe a hate crime, then?”

“Perhaps. But there is one more thing. Something quite odd. All of the victims share the same birthday.”

“Exactly the same?”

“Not the same year—the deceased are of many ages, young and old—but every single one of them, so far as we can tell through identification and reports from next of kin, was born on the same day: February 29.”

A revealed secret between them causes bad blood to spill over, preventing the friends from cooperating. With the specter of capture by a totalitarian regime awaiting them should they stray too far off course, and with a pack of primordial predators roaming the woods, the wayward travelers must find a way to set aside their differences if they are to avoid becoming either political prisoners… or prey.

OUTCAST Ops: Red Ice

A new street drug on American shores is already claiming victims up and down the West Coast. A potent new form of methamphetamine called Red Ice is being produced and used not by an ordinary criminal gang, but a unit of North Korean Special Forces soldiers with a plan to reignite the Korean War on American soil.

Enter OUTCAST (Operational Undertaking to Counteract Active Stateside Threats) - six ex-operatives from six of America's most powerful organizations. Each has been unceremoniously released by their respective former employer for alleged misdoings that leave their pride wounded but their essential skill sets untouched. After uniting over their shared bond of dismissal from the nation's most elite outfits, the disgruntled spooks realize that they can work together like never before to take down threats to their beloved country, a country that branded them as outcasts but needs them now more than ever.

As they wage an all-out war on the North Koreans and their Triad allies through the streets of San Francisco, OUTCAST is hell-bent on showing America that their way isn't the best way - it's the only way.

SAWFISH: A Deep Sea Thriller

by Rick Chesler (Author of HOTEL MEGALODON, Co-author of JURASSIC DEAD series)

Published by Severed Press

Marine biologist Dr. Mason Rayman is experimenting with gigantism in sea creatures when he accidentally creates a monstrously large sawfish. When it grows so big he can no longer keep it in his Miami lab, he is preparing to have it destroyed when he learns he is being terminated from his position. By way of revenge, he dumps the oversized shark relative into the ocean, where it soon roams out of control, slaughtering bathers at nearby trendy South Beach. 

Dr. Rayman doesn't let on that it's his fish responsible for the killings, but someone knows what he did, and she's blackmailing him. He plays along for a while but then decides she needs to be eliminated. Breaking into a lab at his former workplace, he deliberately creates more monster sawfish and releases them into the local waters. 

Rayman then attempts to get his job back by stepping forward as the expert on how to stop the scourge of gigantic predators now ravaging swimmers and water sports enthusiasts on South Florida beaches. But his blackmailer will not let up, leading to an ultimate confrontation between woman and beast, and finally, woman and man.

Jurassic Dead 2 is book 2 in the Jurassic Dead trilogy. The books are meant to be read in order.

Jurassic Dead 2: Z-Volution

After the discovery of a dormant zombie virus in preserved Antarctic dinosaur specimens, billionaire visionary and megalomaniac, William DeKirk, proceeds with his plan to unleash a zombie-dinosaur army upon the world, starting with Washington, DC. The US military struggles to prevent the contagion's spread and to defend against the onslaught of prehistoric monstrosities as all-out war breaks out between the living and the dead. However, DeKirk has even farther-reaching plans.

Modifying the virus to allow for greater control, he intends to impart upon himself all the benefits of zombie-ism - near indestructibility, immortality and immunity to attacks of other zombies, including the dinosaurs, which he can now direct at will. Nothing can stop him from eradicating civilization as we know it, except possibly returning heroes Alex Ramirez and Veronica Winters. The unlikely pair must rescue the one scientist who may hold the key to arresting the zombie apocalypse, a CDC expert trapped in a besieged Atlanta office. Can they secure the antidote and turn the tide before the plague reaches its full potential, or will the planet return to the dominion of its long-extinct masters and a new tide of undead humanity?

When pirates hijack a container ship off the coast of Somalia, a sinister plan to cripple the U.S. presence in the Persian Gulf and precipitate a war is unleashed. Two North Korean nuclear warheads being smuggled to Iran are the centerpiece of an ISIS plot to distract the world's attention. If they succeed, thousands of people will die in nuclear fire and the world will be at war. 

Enter OUTCAST (Operational Undertaking To Counteract Active Stateside Threats)--six ex-operatives from six of America’s most powerful organizations. Each has been unceremoniously released by their respective former employer for alleged misdoings that leave their pride wounded but their essential skill-sets untouched. After uniting over their shared bond of dismissal from the nation’s most elite outfits, the disgruntled spooks realize that they can work together like never before to take down threats to their beloved country, a country that branded them as outcasts but needs them now more than ever. 

As a quiet investigation in South Africa suddenly goes hot, leading to a Somalian pirate base and a night-time assault on the high seas, OUTCAST is hell-bent on showing America that their way isn't the best way--it's the only way.

Meanwhile, a human monster has decided he would be better off if Coco were one of the creature’s victims.
