Back when humanity was young, many dangerous secrets lay undiscovered.

Later, these secrets were written down by an old Himalayan scribe, anointed for this very purpose.

His work became known as the Origin Scroll.

From the award-winning, bestselling author of the Shelby Alexander series comes the epic Maxwell Barnes Adventure Thrillers.

When Maxwell Barnes, treasure hunter extraordinaire, and his best friend Axel Morales were contracted by an American university to track down the legendary Origin Scroll, they looked forward to some nice, quiet treasure hunting. After all, what's in the mountains of Tibet other than wind and snow?

Immediately upon landing, they begin to suspect things are much more complicated than they had expected ... and even more treacherous.

But as Max delves deeper into the truth behind the Origin Scroll, he encounters a mysterious religious sect, a legendary creature, and a base camp with more closet skeletons than cans of Tibetan beer.

Perfect escapist adventure for the armchair traveler, and for fans of James Rollins, Clive Cussler, Nick Thacker, and Steve Berry.
