Second Coming (SIGNED)

548 pp. "Imagine if you will, two worlds at war; one advanced civilization, encroaching upon the other, a place of nomads, of underground cities now desolate, and in ruins. A dark secret lies within the artifacts found in this treacherous place, and reveals both the origins and fates of these two civilizations at war. In order to uncover the mystery and the truth, an archaeologist, in pursuit to justify his father's unfinished work, brings an unlikely group of experts together to help him recover the truth of their existence, and the cataclysmic event that may destroy them. On this quest wrought with peril, they discover from the military, and the dark, powerful lunar monastary, that in order to escape certain anihilation, they must unite these estranged worlds. The characterization is impeccable, and Mr. Dalton's use of the religious history, the Vesanic verses, a triumph."
