Could Human Evolution have been altered by an Alien intervention? Archaeological Professor Hiram May has stumbled upon a secret chamber inside a crumbling Chimú Temple in Peru. Paintings on pottery in the chamber tell the story of an expedition which may have taken their most sacred religious treasures into the mountains just before the Inca invaded and conquered them. Professor May gathers a small expedition and attempts to follow the clues on the pottery, but the Andes are vast and unexplored in the region he believes the lost town lies. Christopher Allen is an ex-cop visiting Peru with friends. A chance encounter with Professor May secures him an invitation to join the expedition. Renting an airplane for the professor, they take to the air and soon locate what could be the lost city. Wasting no time, Professor May and the expedition start the grueling trek to the ruins. But the pilot also understands what they have found and makes a deal with local guerrillas for a share of any treasure if he leads them to the city. Reaching the city first, the expedition has begun mapping and exploring the city when the guerrillas attack. Chris and expedition member Tammy Hanson manage to escape and flee into the forbidding mountains. Chased by the guerrillas, they stumble onto a secret that could shake the very foundations of science and religion and usher in a new era of technological advancement and enlightenment. All they have to do is fight off the guerrillas, rescue any survivors of the attack and make it back to civilization alive.

Seed of the Gods Rod De Bowes 9781478751540 Books Reviews
BTW..Please read "Seed of the Gods".. by Rod De Bowes! Wonderful mystery adventure with a LOT of curves and passages for your brain! very cool; sometimes intriguiging, and many times very sexy! It will get your thinking cap to get wet and stretch! I promise ,,.. You won't be able to put it down!
This book absolutely blew my mind. Rod, geeeez, what an imagination. Where did this come from? I couldn't put it down. It was so addictive. Seeds of the Gods takes you through so many doors with nothing predictable and everything spine chilling. The characters all blend very well on this tapestry of suspense, intrigue and mystery and I found myself holding my breath constantly trying to guess what will happen next. THAT never happened. All I can say is this book explores a mystery that many of us have thought about but never took to the depth that Rod does. This is a must read that would make a great movie. Good job Rod. When is the sequal coming out?.
Seed Of The Gods by Rod De Bowes is mostly a gripping, intelligent and well written novel that twists from an archeological mystery into an action thriller and then something else.
Professor Hiram May is in Peru to look for ruins that could cast light on the Chimú, an ancient people who pre-dated the Inca.
After a decade of studying the Chimú, the archaeologist came across a chamber where he found Chimú pottery that provided pictographic clues about the people and the beginnings of a planned Exodus from their coastal homeland into the mountains to flee the invading Inca.
The professor and two graduate students, Steven Lord and Tammy Hanson, the derigueur comely heroine have been trying to mount an expedition into the interior to find the lost Chimú settlement.
Enter Chris Allen who we quickly learn has certain physical skills and smarts - able to outwit and outfight two gun-toting muggers. We also learn Chris has some means. His father left him a yacht, the Dream Chaser, and enough money to leave behind his job as a cop for a few years.
During a jaunt on land, Chris spots Tammy with her ring finger bare. He’s instantly interested. Tammy, it turns out, was bait.
Prof. May’s team asks Chris to spend $1,000 on a plane to find the best locations to search for the ruins.
Chris isn’t as as rich as he looks but he feels an adventure, especially one with Tammy might be worth a G-Note.
The plane does its work. Prof. May locates the Chimú site and sets off with students, some locals, and Chris to search the ancient city.
Meanwhile, the pilot figured that $1,000 is good but a share of the treasure is better. He contacts a band of guerrillas and tells them of the treasure the professor is seeking.
The guerrillas attack, killing some of the locals and kidnapping Prof. May and the male graduate student.
Chris escapes with Tammy into the mountains but are instantly pursued by the heavily armed guerrillas. Chris demonstrates his ingenuity by outwitting and setting traps for the gunmen. The guerrilla leader is incensed and obsessed with capturing Chris.
The story then turns abruptly in a direction that might have taken the reader completely by surprise in good ways if it were not for an entirely unnecessary, baffling and poorly executed prologue.
The pros and cons of placing a prologue at the start of a story is much debated by writers and editors. The prologue for Seed Of The Gods pushes me firmly in the no prologue camp. It contains a monstrous spoiler and by far the worst writing in the book.
De Bowes, while clearly comfortable writing contemporary action scenes, is out of his element with his clumsy, unintentionally campy depiction of an intergalactic space battle.
I gave Seed of the Gods three stars because I hated the prologue. If it's gone in the next edition, I'd give it a solid four stars.
Incredible! Very imaginative. Couldn't put it down.
If you enjoyed the Saucer series, you will enjoy Seed of the Gods.
Interesting and fresh to read, keeps mind wandering in the flow of time, transporting you to other dimension and waking up the "what if" mind train. You will find yourself inmerse in the book and wanting more.
Excellent Book, lots of action and keeps you wanting more. He needs to do a sequel. Can't wait for the movie.
Excellent story, a little bit different, but definitely worth a sequel.
