Myths of the Evergreens

This novel chronicles the latter years of the life of a handsome, single, and successful exploration geologist. Although, he was somewhat still naïve in his early fifties, he struck off on a new and uncharted course, a path aimed at communicating with an ancient earthly life form. The unfolding story follows his love life, marriage, indiscretions, and surreptitious mailings from a major foreign power bent on a parallel path of species communication. Caught up in the obsession for study and discovery, he finds himself trapped in a seemingly limitless odyssey of intrigue, and research into both geologic and mankind's history, evolution, religion, myth, botany, mathematics, science, and the classic world. The sum of his and the foreigners' research disclosed a number of astounding discoveries previously shrouded in the mystery of antiquity. These factors forced a reevaluation of his personal belief structure. The story reaches a climax as he confronts and communicates with a selected member of the "continuum". The story ends in a miraculous epiphany.
