A sleeping army stirs. A battle for power begins. The fate of humanity hangs in the balance.
In 1908 Siberia, a soldier named Viktor awakens inside a silver, egg-like pod. A warrior of the long-lost Eighth Cycle civilization, he has been asleep for millennia—his commander dead, his world unrecognizable. Something has triggered his reawakening. But was it a natural catastrophe, an advanced human civilization, or something far more dangerous?
A century later, the Rossler Foundation, led by Daniel Rossler, stands as humanity’s last safeguard against the misuse of ancient knowledge. But their mission is under siege. As Viktor and his reanimated army, the Re’an, rise to reclaim power using the advanced technology of their era, global tensions spiral out of control. General Hayden, seizing the moment, brands the Rosslers as the enemy and pushes the world to the brink of war.
With powerful forces closing in, the Rosslers must unravel a web of deception and stop Viktor before his army takes control. Can they prevent the return of the Eighth Cycle, or is humanity on the verge of a new dark age?
The Rowen is the explosive seventh installment in JC Ryan’s acclaimed Rossler Foundation Mystery series, where ancient mysteries, modern warfare and global conspiracies collide in a fight for the future of civilization.
