The Seeker

Twenty-five thousand years ago, a ship comes to Earth from across the galaxy. It is occupied by thousands of excited colonists who have come to settle an empty planet. Except they find that it isn’t empty. They discover that humanity is emerging. Things then go terribly wrong for so many of the Colonists. The survivors remain, alone, disconnected from their home world. Most hope to return someday. But not all. A young woman, a physicist, has an idea for a unique way of communication. She runs square into reality outside the hallowed walls of academia. An international gambler discovers there’s more to life than cards. A young woman is kidnapped. Another is raped and murdered. How do these events relate to the physicist who finds herself in the middle of it all? She finds that she is marked for death by two different groups who will do anything to prevent the completion of her project. And then there’s that golden eagle that seems to be everywhere she is. This is The Seeker, the fifth book in the Scepter of the Nile adventure.
