Obelisk Seven Illustrated (Paperback)

When Nick Kangles, the wealthy host of a global warming TV show, and Kate Stanton, the top notch microbiologist, try to solve the mystery of seven obelisks that are sending out signals, they uncover the countdown of a threat to our civilization. Kate meets Nick in the square of the Pantheon in Rome, when they share a table to avoid the rain. He is travelling the world to convert people to fighting global warming by setting up greenhouse gas trading schemes, while she has been called in to help find out what is eating the carbon in the massive oil deposit in the Ghawar Field in Saudi Arabia. Nick and Kate detect signals from obelisks in Rome, Paris, London, New York and Egypt. They set out on an increasingly dangerous hunt to find the link between these seven obelisks and a new microbe that threatens the world's oil supply, and discover that someone is willing to kill to keep the link secret. Obelisk Seven came about because we had a wonderful tour guide who introduced us to marvels in several cities in Europe, and the time we had to spare in the Da Vinci airport in Rome. That's where Obelisk Seven was conceived. After much research and hard work and tons of sheer fun, our novel was finally born. We are hoping that many of our readers might join in two movements - one to right an old wrong by obtaining the return to Egypt of the ancient obelisks (and of the bust of Queen Nefertiti, now imprisoned in a Berlin museum), and the other to fight global warming. We dedicate this book to you, the reader, with the wish that you will find in its pages lots to interest you, and mysteries to intrigue you. This illustrated edition has over 90 pictures.
