TOJSR The Oasis, paper  

About the book: Kidnapped to the far side of the globe, Tom Gryf must face the secrets of his troubled past. A legend, long grown cold, thrusts the unwilling passenger into a tangled yarn of archaic hidden sects and dark, bloody deeds. This lust for a relic which should not be unearthed pushes the fanatical quest and has reawakened a stirring.

In this suspense-filled, prohibition-era adventure, our unlikely hero, a former naval officer and sometime smuggler, is forced to transport a mysterious cargo. Calculated revenge and mercenary honor quickly become the very fuel that propels the officer down a road from which he cannot easily return.

Into a land of alluring traditions and blood obligation, the scented deserts of Syria call Tom forth upon the trail of French Legionnaires and ancient Templar Knights. From the cobbled lanes of old Krakow and the ancient hamlets of Saxony to the towering mountains of forbidden Armenia, fell minions and clandestine orders vie to claim their place as the rightful heir to the key which will secure a final victory. Tom Gryf finds himself caught in-between, on the unsteady tightrope, between life and liberty in a land torn by the black jaws of war. His only hope … an Oasis.
