The Adventures of Tom Conley (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798986180847)

All archeologist Tom Conley wants out of life is a shovel in hand and a steady job but when he is called to an adventure he can't ignore, he must take action and save the captured Goddesses before Ergaster men can wipe out humankind-again.

This action-adventure is based in archeology and paleontology whereby a recent graduate, Tom Conley, is chosen by the captured Goddesses, unknown to him, to be their champion when he is anything but that. Tom has his problems such as trying to land a permanent job and protect his mentally ill mother. On a temporary teaching assignment, Tom connects with an autistic boy, Kenny Parks, a time traveler, who aids Tom on his mission. Tom needs to accept the impossible, overcome his reservations, and create a team of gifted women in support of his cause so he can act. The Ergaster men, who hold the Goddesses captive, started a volcanic device that will wipe out humankind if Tom fails to rescue the Goddesses in time. Real and invented sciences are employed alongside esoteric concepts and magic. The government's interest in the arcane is a featured theme in this hero's journey.
