The Lost City of Z
Part I
Eighteen-year-old Tommy is sent down to the Brazilian Amazon jungle to find two lost men sent to join a famous explorer in search of the Lost City of Z. The only clues he has are visions of the expedition that followed in the footsteps of Colonel Percy Fawcett, who disappeared in the same area nearly a century ago.
Together with the razor-sharp operative Marta and a four-man team of elite agents, Tommy ventures into the Mato Grosso, a vast, unmapped expanse of jungle where the rules of reality seem to bend. Strange totems mark their path. Invisible watchers shadow their every step. GPS signals go dark. Satellite feeds dissolve into static. And somewhere beneath the ancient canopy, time itself appears to run at a different speed.
Tommy’s gifts, the ability to see through others’ eyes, speak languages he has never learned, and sense danger before it strikes, are the team’s greatest asset. But as they close in on the mythical Lost City of Z, even Tommy’s abilities may not be enough to prepare them for what lies beneath.
The Lost City of Z is a pulse-quickening blend of adventure, espionage, and the supernatural, part Indiana Jones, part The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, with a twist of time that will keep you turning pages long after midnight. For fans of action-adventure fiction with a hero who is anything but ordinary, Part 1 ends with a revelation that changes everything.
Some cities don’t want to be found. Some people, once taken, are never quite the same again.
The Lost City of Z
Part II
They found the city. Now comes the reckoning.
Somewhere beneath the overgrown ruins of the Amazon jungle, Tommy Somebody and Marta sit face to face with the impossible: a living Colonel Percy Fawcett, a civilization untouched by time, and beings who have watched humanity for hundreds of thousands of years, beings who engineered every single step of Tommy’s journey to bring him here.
The lost city of Z is real. And everything that happened, the missing expedition, the Russian oligarch’s orders, the desperate rescue mission into the jungle was a carefully constructed trap. Not to destroy Tommy, but to give him a mission that could determine the fate of the world.
Inside the underground city, Tommy and Marta discover a civilization frozen in time, where one day below ground equals twelve above, where the walls glow with ancient light, and where the city’s enigmatic Guardians, a tall, six-fingered species as old as human civilization itself communicate not through words, but through thought. They have been waiting. Specifically, for Tommy.
Thirteen crystal skulls once formed a planetary communication mesh between twelve species sharing the Earth. When the Spanish conquistadors shattered that network five centuries ago, something vast and dangerous was set in motion. Now the countdown is running out. The Guardians cannot leave. Only Tommy can find the skulls, scattered across the globe, and bring them together before the apocalypse they refuse to name comes to pass.
Back above ground, the world has moved on and the secrets of what really happened in the jungle must be buried deep. Anton’s men remember nothing. The surviving expedition thinks they were simply lost. Only Tommy, Marta, and a trusted few know the truth: that history has been quietly guided, that time itself is not what it seems, and that an eighteen-year-old from a small American town now carries the weight of twelve civilizations on his shoulders.
Part 2 delivers the revelations Part 1 promised and raises the stakes to cosmic proportions. The adventure has only just begun.

As his abilities grow stronger, Tommy must uncover whether the skull is a myth, an archaeological relic, or something far more extraordinary before its secrets fall into the wrong hands.
Perfect for readers who enjoy psychic mystery, ancient artifacts, archaeological thrillers, treasure hunts, historical suspense, supernatural fiction, and action-packed adventure.
