Lisa Hamilton Rhodes, an Archaeologist, turned fundraiser for a prominent New Mexico conservancy, is summoned to a dig site by her old professor and mentor, Dr. Jay Thompson. Thompson reveals the "find of a lifetime," the complete remains of a Conquistador, a Mesoamerican warrior, and an ancient stone tablet of great significance to a Native American tribe. The find draws Lisa back into "field" archeology, and she joins Thompson's dig to research the provenance of the discoveries and solve their inherent mysteries. Paired with Native American Anthropologist Nicki Wolf, they delve into the puzzle of the conquistador and warrior's identities. But before the stone can be returned to its rightful stewards, Supremacist leader Mark Verner has it stolen by his mercenary team. They botch the first attempt to steal the tablet and a kidnap attempt on Nicki that results in the death of her medicine man grandfather Star King. The action escalates from there, culminating in a showdown between Verner's militia, the FBI, and a rebel force plotting the overthrow of Verner's organization from within.

Sebastian Jaymes - Biography
Sebastian Jaymes grew up on the "North Coast" of America near Lake Erie.
As a live show producer he has put together shows on exotic islands, Castles, Archaeological ruins, and exotic some-times dangerous locales in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, Japan, Russia, the Caribbean, and around the world. Over the years he has worked with countless celebrity entertainers in Hollywood and worldwide.
At a very early age, Jaymes decided he wanted to see the world. At the age of nineteen he began to realize that goal first as a roadie, then tour manager for two hit rock n roll bands. (One from Cleveland.) In the latter 1960's, Jaymes worked with an up and coming North Coast horn band that took him on a wild ride through the 60's counter culture. Settling in California in the early 1970's, he found himself in the mainstream of the Los Angeles entertainment industry, at first as a roadie, or a PA on network TV variety shows. He moved on to tour management of various celebrity artists, touring the world over and realizing his childhood dream to see the world on someone else's dime.
For the next fifteen years, he hired out as a Freelance producer of large corporate events in many exotic locales around the world. ("I wanted to continue traveling internationally, so in between producing assignments I took on freelance projects as a live show technical director for corporate, TV, and live shows all over the world.")
As freelance opportunities all but dried up in the economic slowdown of 2008, he furthered his previously established involvement with USO on celebrity entertainment events at military bases and in combat zones around the world.
He has a passion for Archaeology and American Civil War history and has visited Civil War battlefields, ancient ruins, and museums around the world on his own dime. Jaymes currently lives in Southern California, writes books and screenplays, and has often been part of a USO team that puts together entertainment events for military families around the world.
James' trilogy: "Memoirs From The Road To Everywhere" Vol. I-III takes the reader around the world with him from childhood to adult hood as his life progresses.
His latest book about a bigger than life character in the world of Rock n Roll touring is due to be released in early 2020.
