The Serpent’s Promise
by J Karl Jones
A discovered archive reveals the secret, engineered origins of humanity.
ABOUT THE BOOK
History is a lie. Humanity is a weapon. And the instruction manual has just been found.
When obsessive archaeologist Yu Tao unearths a 150,000-year-old alien archive, he discovers humanity was engineered with two bloodlines: one for loyalty, one for war.
But the archive is also a beacon. By opening it, he has awakened a vengeful, exiled race that has been hunting their creators for millennia. Now, they have a map.
Forced into an uneasy alliance with a cynical black-ops captain and his clandestine unit, Yu must return to the pyramid. Their mission: activate a gateway between worlds and ask the gods for help before their ancient enemy can seize that power for themselves.
But as a brutal siege begins, they soon discover that when you knock on heaven’s door, you might unleash hell.
The Serpent’s Promise is the explosive first book in the Aberrant series, a high-concept sci-fi thriller that rewrites human history from the very beginning. The war for our past has just begun.
