Action Adventure, Combining History with Legend and Scientific Research
Maurice Mayben has drawn from events from history added colorful legend to create a techno thriller introducing scientific events and research based in part on his own military knowledge and extensive martial arts training to craft this masterpiece of suspense, international intrigue, and peril.
Derek Storm found himself stranded and wounded in the desert of Iraq during Operation Desert Storm. Within the ruins of an abandoned bomb crater Storm discovered ancient artifacts which held the key to an ancient Chinese healer’s cure for cancer.
Brothers, Doctors Peter and Daniel Flynn, uncles of Storm, were on the verge of a breakthrough in cancer research. Shady government officials, depraved mercenaries, and a ruthless group of medical doctors driven by the greed and the lust for power joined forces to hold back the cure.
Derek Storm’s Uncle Pete Flynn was murdered after he refused to divulge the secret location of their research lab. At this point the action picks up as Storm enlists a team of military and high tech experts to link up with him in an effort to acquire and decode the ancient tablets he discovered ten years earlier. Storm draws on his Kung Fun San Soo black belt skills in this race to recover the artifact.
Mayben deftly introduces strong characters that drive an intensive plot, jam-packed with action and sub plots. This team of characters put in motion and action adventure story that keeps the reader engaged right up to the spectacular climatic conclusion.
