Endless Horizon - McKinley J T

Set amidst what is now the American southwest, Endless Horizon paints a thrilling portrait of a quest for survival in a space and time where previously isolated individuals, cultures, and nations collided. This first in a series of historical thrillers begins in 1846 and follows a father and son leaving their home and making their way to Santa Fe, a first-of-its-kind United States foreign expeditionary force on a mission to double the size of the young country, a pair of Spaniards commissioned to retrieve an Incan artifact, and a young Navajo trying to find his way home. All of this through the prism of the least known but perhaps most significant and life-changing discoveries of the Nineteenth century.

According to the 'ancient ones,' the discovery is what physically remains of a benevolent, divine entity who walked the earth during times of great human distress, always coming from and leaving by the ocean, hence his name: Viracocha or 'Foam of the Sea.'

Credited with performing astounding miracles, this being's timeless message is one that echoes not just in Incan legend or the desolate canyons of Arizona and New Mexico, but around the world: love each other and love...something bigger. Many embraced this message and sought to protect the ancient artifact. Those that did not sought to either destroy it or use its mysterious powers to further their own causes and desires.

From black lava tunnels to red rock canyons, high desert plains to breathtaking shorelines, Endless Horizon races towards the perennial message that only through connection can we truly live.
