Since childhood Calvin Monroe has been fascinated with the past, so it was only natural that when he went off to college he would major in history. What he never expected was that a term paper he would write for a class would get him an invitation to present at a conference in Turkey, where he would meet Jay Kim, a researcher and author who shares Calvin’s passion for the mysteries of history but is frustrated with his own reputation as a fringe theorist. Together the two of them team up to travel the world as they seek to solve the enigmas of the distant past.
Both titles are available in paperback and Kindle formats from Amazon.

The paper earns him a chance to travel to Turkey, which sets him off on a journey to see the archaeological wonders of the country—not only to look for the civilization that was lost in the Flood, but also to explore the origins of civilization itself.
