One day, we'll all be myths. During a time that man has forgotten,
a mighty ship was laid to rest beneath the rolling waves of the
Aegean Sea. With her, the secrets and powers of the Gods lay,
waiting to be discovered...Orla Nyren is a spy, a mercenary, a
stone cold killer. The last thing she will ever do is let her guard
down. Forced into time off from the Ogmios Team, she finds herself
in unfamiliar territory: vacationing with civilians in the
Peloponnese. A late night encounter with a handsome stranger offers
her a glimpse into a side of life she has never allowed herself to
imagine: normalcy, freedom, love. But old secrets refuse to stay
buried and when the ship is exhumed, her vacation takes a drastic
turn. With the help of fellow team member, Jude Lethe, Orla embarks
on an adventure that will return her to the myths of old in which
the unthinkable is made real and the horrors of man's resolve
threaten to seal the doom of humanity. It begs the question: how
far is one willing to go before they upset the Gods? Will tempting
fate simply result in proving that we make our own, or will it
anger the Gods beyond any chance of absolution?

to Daniel's young son, Jim (Ashley Knight). When Bones' former

This volume of 5 Detectives collects lesser-known sleuths from the
early 1900s, when detective stories were popular in monthly
magazines. Magician from the Orient Chanler Rao uses his skills to
uncover criminals. Worry-Worry Williams is less concerned with
detective work than solving life's little puzzles, but still
manages to bag some crooks. Miss Fanny Gordon finds herself
stranded in France, but uses her keen mind to solve mysteries for
the French Secret Service. Clara Pryor, fresh from college, decides
to become a detective, and she has the perfect Watson. Not all
detectives look like detectives, but the "Gum-Shoe" did. . . . This
collection of stories provides breadth to the picture of the early
magazine detectives and shouldn't be missed by Golden-Age Mystery
enthusiasts.
