Puramore - The Lute of Pythagoras

Captain George Smythe spills his blood for The Cause before he has a conscious thought as to either its true nature or his role as its leader in the distant future. His mortal and immortal enemy nearly slays him whilst he's on holiday in Mexico, touring pre-Columbian archaeological sites. The Nagual shaman who rescues him from death realizes his potential to wield Puramore for the thirteenth and last time as he brings him back to life. General Sir George Smythe, Team Alpha, Juan, and their quantum computer battle Wingtip, an avatar of China's first emperor, and spirit forces at his command to turn the tide of mankind's survival dilemma in their favor. Time is of the essence, as their foe is on the brink of delivering the final coup d'etat to humanity. In the end, only the wielder of Puramore possesses an advantage over humanity's ancient nemesis. Will George Smythe prove himself worthy to acquire the Divine Blade? 'This is an intriguing blend of political power and spirituality, especially with the ancient Egyptians as a parallel to Smythe and his military position. Aguila's rescue as a spirit guide, along with Smythe's natural desire to keep such an experience private, gives an underpinning to his other international contacts. And the Ancient Order suggests that there might be a connection to all of these. I like archaeological stories yet this is working all of that into a present human mission, it seems.' -Katherine Holmes - Barnes & Noble '...Superb!!!I have difficulty searching for words that truly express my thoughts on the book. From the first sentence I was captivated. All my interests seem to be combined into this one book: Da Vinci, Imhotep, celestial and human spirituality and it's exploration, references to astral-planing (in a sense), shamanism, technology well beyond our grasp at this point, I could go on and on. I absolutely admire how you were able to take all these concepts and intricately weave them together to form such an amazing and unparalleled novel. It was so impressively idiomatic, without grandiloquence, that I felt as though I had a true glimpse into the future. I am truly looking forward to the sequel. -Kelly Wright, Goodreads
