At 12, Gideon Crew witnessed his father, a world class mathematician, accused of treason and gunned down. At 24, summoned to his dying mother’s bedside, Gideon learned the truth: His father was framed. With her last breath, she begged her son to avenge him. Now, with a new purpose in his life, Gideon crafts a one time mission of vengeance, aimed at the perpetrator of his father’s destruction. But from the shadows, someone is watching.

A very powerful someone, who is impressed by Gideon’s special skills.

Gideon’s Corpse:
A top nuclear scientist goes mad and takes an innocent family hostage at gunpoint, killing one and causing a massive standoff.
A plume of radiation above New York City leads to a warehouse where, it seems, a powerful nuclear bomb was assembled just hours before.Sifting through the evidence, authorities determine that the unthinkable is about to happen: In ten days, a major American city will be vaporized by a terrorist attack.

The Lost Island:
Gideon Crew, brilliant scientist, master thief is living on borrowed time.
When his mysterious employer, Eli Glinn, gives him a mission, he has no reason to refuse. Gideon’s task: steal a page from the priceless Book of Kells, on display in New York City. Accomplishing the impossible, Gideon steals the parchment only to learn that beneath the illuminated image is a treasure map dating back to the timealize, the treasure it leads to is something far more precious: A discovery that could save Gideon’s life.

Beyond the Ice Limit:
Five years ago, the mysterious and inscrutable head of Effective Engineering Solutions, Eli Glinn, led a mission to recover a gigantic meteorite–the largest ever discovered–from a remote island off the coast of South America. The mission ended in disaster when their ship, the Rolvaag, foundered in a vicious storm in the Antarctic Sea and broke apart, sinking—along with its unique cargo—to the ocean floor. One hundred and eight crew members perished, and Eli Glinn was left paralyzed.

But this was not all. The tragedy revealed something truly terrifying: the meteorite they tried to retrieve was not, in fact, simply a rock. Instead, it was a complex organism from the deep reaches of space.

The Pharaoh Key:
“I just want to be crystal clear about this: if it has value, we’re gonna steal it. Are you with me?”
Gideon Crew,is shocked when his former employer, Eli Glinn, vanishes without a trace, and Glinn’s high tech lab Effective Engineering Solutions shuts down seemingly overnight. Crew is contacted by one of his former coworkers at EES, Manuel Garza, who has a bead on one final treasure hinted at, the long awaited translation of a centuries old stone tablet of a previously undiscovered civilization: The Phaistos Disc.
