Those movies were so fascinating to me. I always wanted to be an adventurer that discovered ancient treasures, not for the financial wealth, but because I always thought, and still think, it must be so amazing to find something that someone left hidden hundreds or thousands of years before. At that moment, you are the first person to see that artifact in a long time. I also love suspense action fiction stories. Jack Reacher, Jason Bourne, Jack Ryan, are all pulp heroes I enjoy following. It seemed logical to make Sean Wyatt like one of those guys, but one that also has a background in history. Q: There are several books in the Sean Wyatt series. In what order should they be read? A: The first three are a trilogy, but you can read them out of order if you really want to. I'd start with The Secret of the Stones and then go to The Cleric's Vault and The Last Chamber. The Grecian Manifesto is the fourth book in the series and, like all the forthcoming books in the series, will stand alone. Scroll up and grab a copy today! less
