... Our Quest:

The obelisks we saw in Europe and in Egypt captivated us, and we wrote our thriller, Obelisk Seven. Now we are on a quest to find a publisher for our novel.

... Why Obelisk Seven?

When Nick, our hero, first records a mysterious signal from the Pantheon obelisk in Rome, he sets out on a hunt with Kate and Gliffy to see if any other obelisks are also sending out signals. They find seven Singers. Gliffy then decides to peer inside one of the obelisks (using x-rays) to see if he can find out what is sending out the signals, and chooses the seventh one for this.

The Story

What is the link between seven obelisks that are sending out signals, a TV show on global warming, and a microbe that threatens the world’s oil supplies? And who is willing to kill to prevent others finding this link?

When Nick Kangles, the host of a global warming TV show, microbiologist Kate Stanton and Egyptologist Gliffy discover that an Egyptian obelisk in Rome is sending out signals, they set out on an increasingly dangerous hunt across Europe, Egypt and America to find the secret of the signals.
