  Our journey through the arc and pages of a book is often in the safe and knowing words of a narrator.  But sometimes these friends, these guardians of our trust play games, they betray our literary friendship with lines on which we can’t rely. They take us into literary mazes turn characters we accept into those we mistrust, situations we know into something we can now only doubt.  However, we still enjoy the journey; sometimes they make it so much fun there may be a happy ending.  But often there isn’t.  I did say they were unreliable.

  Wallace wasn’t sure why he’d answered Jonas’s call to discuss setting up a unit akin to Terk’s remarkable team. Perhaps it was curiosity or something more. But, as soon as he lands in England, he’s thrust into a crisis. One of the MI6 research applicants has vanished, and Jonas fears the worst. Then Wallace hears her name … 
  Amy, an old friend of Terk’s, had been swept into peril without warning. Captured—with no clue as to where she was, why she was taken, or by whom—she manages to send a desperate message to Terk. Only when she connects with him mentally does her panic transform into steely determination. Whoever is behind this will pay. She wasn’t alone anymore. She has powerful allies. Allies who, even now, were racing to her aid, … she hoped. 
  For Wallace, finding Amy becomes an urgent mission, and ensuring her safe return is a close second. But what seems like a straightforward rescue quickly spirals into a tangled web of danger and intrigue. Amid the chaos, an unexpected connection sparks between them again, adding a layer of complexity to their perilous journey, as the stakes become more personal than ever.

  In 1587, over one hundred colonists, desperate for a better life in the new world, disappear without a trace from a settlement on tiny Roanoke Island, just off the coast of North Carolina. 
  And now, in the present day, deafening, unearthly wails are being heard in the sky all over the world, with no apparent physical origin. 
  Where are they coming from? What do they mean? 
  To Helen Weils, bestselling author and respected academic, history is a realm of observable facts, each one carefully weighed and inspected. 
  So when she encounters Chip Sledd, a conspiracy theorist who insists there's an unimaginable connection between the disappearance of the colonists in 1587 and the strange noises in the sky, she's quick to dismiss his theories as the irrational ramblings of a lunatic. 
  But when black-suited agents begin relentlessly stalking her and Chip... 
  Helen soon realizes that the past is a lot more flexible than she ever thought possible -- and seeking the truth sometimes means accepting the strangest theory of them all.
