Reseña del editor:

We follow Atys, a Lydian slave from 560 BC, as he struggles with a chest of solid gold coins while climbing up the treacherous trail leading to the Delphi Oracle. He is one among hundreds of slaves and soldiers involved in delivering a great treasure. We also follow James, an insurance salesman from Scranton, PA, as he travels to Greece to take charge of his grandfather’s estate. James forms a partnership with Angela, his real estate agent, and they have to face their fears to unravel a mysterious message found in the crumbling basement of James’ grandfather’s house.This historic novel is based on a real treasure sent to the Delphi Oracle. King Croesus of Lydia tested oracles around the Mediterranean and determined that the Oracles at Delphi, Greece were the best. He sent five tons of gold and silver as a gift to ask the Oracle if he should go to war with Lydia. This is the first in a series of novels based on real treasures and how they might affect the lives of contemporary fictional characters. Every effort was made to make the history accurate but the contemporary components are simply fiction.

Biografía del autor:

Author Biography John D. Swisher, Ph.D. John Swisher developed the idea for Two Paths Crossing: Then and Now during a tour of Greece that focused on ancient sites including Delphi. He wondered what happened to all the treasures that had been given to the Priests and Oracles at the sanctuary and this historical treasure mystery evolved from there. His second novel, Stolen Five Times, based on another real treasure hidden during WWII in Greece, will be available later this year. He is a former science teacher and counselor who spent most of his career teaching in a graduate program at Penn State that prepared school and rehabilitation counselors and counseling psychologists. He authored approximately one hundred research articles and chapters and co-authored two books on drug abuse. He is a Professor Emeritus of Education and has always loved teaching and writing because he enjoys people and learning. www.treasuremysteries.com
