Pittsburg, California May 29, 2019 (Issuewire.com) - You think of a hero and you think go-getter, probably teenage to early thirties, with the resources or the acquaintance to aid him in his quest. What you don’t think of is a woman nearing retirement who hasn’t been outside her farm’s boundaries since she was seven.
That’s why this new novel by Linda M. Arena, Guardians of the Crystal Skulls: The Thirteenth Order, is a thrilling read. You couldn’t find a heroine more reluctant or selfless than this.
After an earthquake knocks the planet out of orbit, levels cities, and decimates global populations, mysterious beings residing in mythical Mt. Shasta task Rachael, a 56-year-old farmer who’s been a recluse for nearly five decades, with finding the Crystal Skulls, keys to powering a device that can reverse the catastrophe before all known life is destroyed. Uncertain and unfamiliar with the world outside her farm, she reluctantly seeks the artefacts. . . while keeping the existence of the beings a secret.
Reader Russell Ruff loves how the novel explores “heroism by ordinary people,” while Sharon Costley says the story was “captivating . . . couldn’t put it down!” And Rev. Mary Mitchell, another reader, lauds Linda’s storytelling: “She makes you feel that you are right there with Rachel experiencing the emotions of fear, compassion, love.”
Linda M. Arena is a self-confessed 73-year-old Potterhead and Trekkie from Detroit, Michigan, who loves archaeology, magic, and space operas better than ice cream.
Linda’s work will be exhibited at the BookExpo + BookCon 2019, to be held at the Jacob Javits Center, New York City, this coming May 29 to 31 and June 1 and 2, 2019, at the Authors Press Booth # 1667.
