If you have found this book, the end of the world has already begun.Something lies hidden in the remote wilderness. It is unremarkable in appearance yet beautiful in purpose. It is intelligent yet not human. It is a gift. But gifts always come at a price.It’s 1868. Gentleman naturalist Samuel Inwood is fulfilling his dream of exploring Dutch New Guinea when things go horribly wrong. A savage aboriginal tribe takes him captive, and as Samuel fights to survive, he begins to doubt that he is the civilized man he had thought himself to be. But his personal concerns suddenly become trivial when he realizes the tribe is harboring the greatest discovery in history, and he finds himself solely responsible for the future of all humanity.Losing his sanity and stripped of his dignity, Samuel finds solace in writing of his horrors and revelations in his field notebook. The more he learns of his captors and the secret they hold, the more his written words become a warning to the rest of the world. It is a warning he hopes no one will ever have to heed.If you have found this book, it is too late. The end of the world has already begun.

Who would you trust with the power to alter the destiny of humanity?Devastated by the loss of his son in a remote rainforest of Indonesian Papua, Quentin Darnell now must struggle to get his wife and surviving students safely back to civilization. But surviving the trek out of the wilderness is only the first challenge, because his group now possesses an object that can create anything or do anything, for better or for worse. Can anyone be trusted with such power? If they can somehow get the object to the United States, will they be heroes—or the world’s destroyers?Quentin and his group face impossible choices with each perilous leg of their journey. And every triumph that takes them closer to home also takes them closer to a more personal dilemma—they may no longer be welcome there.
