Book Two in The Powers That Be trilogy, THE LOST SHIP immerses readers in the day-after chaos, carnage, and confusion following THE GOLDEN ELLIPSE, twisting and turning from cloak-and-dagger intrigue to the heart of the Amazon, where a supernatural revelation illuminates humankind’s transformative destiny in a cerulean glow.

Vengeful Gray aliens abandon a humiliating Cretaceous-era colonization failure and time travel to present-day Earth, seeking a doomsday weapon left behind on a shipwreck lost in what is now the Amazon. Lurking in high Earth orbit, the predatory race hijacks a lunar-bound medevac, imprisoning The Powers That Be (PTB) crew in a mind-bending, torturous nightmare.
Rachel and Owen Haig convalesce in a decimated Cairo hospital, contending with unwanted notoriety following their heroic exploits and an offer from the PTB.
Griffin Pike, a megalomaniacal tech mogul, projects international rage onto the PTB with his ancestor’s antique journal containing cryptic clues to a lost ship as his failsafe option.
Artemus Pennywell, the ageless PTB CEO, parries post-invasion gut punches, overseeing relief efforts alongside his quintessential replicant valet and fixer, Andrew. With cutthroat mercenaries and the ruthless Grays searching for the lost ship, he dispatches eccentric scientist Richard King and new PTB agents Rachel and Owen to the Amazon in a race to secure the prehistoric alien payload. Fates collide, trekking a dense jungle teeming with incredible dangers to a primeval rift guarded for centuries by a ghostly cannibal tribe.
The perilous race to find a doomsday device is on. And the clock is ticking.

About the Author
关于作者
Author and artist John Hopkins’ curiosity for what lies beyond common knowledge shapes his imaginative, character-driven storytelling. Following his muse, John created Lost Cactus, a comic strip set on an off-the-grid top-secret research base-think Area 51. The strip’s quick wit, fearless lampoonery, and supernatural mythology expanded into a shared universe of science fiction short stories and novels. Sequels and graphic novels featuring the expansive world-building of Lost Cactus and The Powers That Be shared universe are in the works. Stay tuned and keep an eye on the sky.
