During an expedition in Egypt, Dennis Mathews, a fringe archeologist, discovers evidence of a highly advanced, 15,000 year old civilization. To fully understand the source and meaning of his discovery, Dennis enlists help from his business partner Gary Benson, and an ex-girlfriend Susan Rymer. The evidence Dennis found, is an artifact that holds the key to an ancient power and instructions detailing the use and functions of the crystal skulls. The discovery gains the notice of a shadow governmental organization that would stop at nothing to gain control of the mythical ancient power, a power they viewed as a key to their world domination and economic control. Dennis, Gary, and Susan embarked on a global race to stay one step ahead of assassination attempts as they discovered the real power, the advanced knowledge of the ancient society trapped within a crystal skull. Brought together by the quest for knowledge and discovery, Dennis, Gary, and Susan raced to stay alive and release knowledge that could benefit all of humanity. Crystal Gift is a work of fiction based on plausible historical theories and is the first book of a Crystal Skull Trilogy.
