Dan Kotler

The adventure begins in the first Dan Kotler archaeological thriller! An ancient medallion is unearthed in Pueblo, Colorado, revealing a secret that will rewrite the history of North America-the Vikings somehow made it to the continent's interior, centuries before Columbus made landfall, and there they built a city of gold. But today the COELHO MEDALLION has been stolen, and a linguist and researcher has been abducted in connection with the crime. Could the abductors be after the fabled city of gold? Or do they have a more sinister plot in mind? DAN KOTLER is an independent researcher who often finds himself in more trouble than he was expecting. But when his colleague is abducted he finds himself being investigated by the FBI, he must use all of his brilliance and expertise to find her and absolve himself. ANWAR ADHAM has plans for a terrorist action on U.S. soil, and information from the Pueblo research site can give him everything he needs to put his plans in motion. Unless Adham is stopped, thousands and possibly millions will die. Whoever wins this contest of wits and wills will hold the fate of thousands in his hands, and will also lay claim to the fabled city of gold. It's an adventure that can redefine the history of America as we know it. Kotler finds himself facing off against both the FBI and Adham's terrorist network as he struggles to solve the mystery of Vikings in Colorado, to rescue Evelyn and stop Adham's plans before it's too late.

1914, Thomas Edison stands and watches his West Orange laboratory burn to the ground, taking his life's work with it. And he smiles. In his pocket is a stone that is the key to untold mysteries, and with it, he will start fresh, and create wonders beyond any of his previous work. 1974, Two US Army Special Forces officers uncover a lockbox filled with invaluable enemy intelligence that can turn the tide of the Vietnam conflict. Among the papers and maps is another stone, nearly identical to Edison's. With this, the two officers will build a financial empire, corrupt to its core but powerful enough to elude even the FBI. Two stones found sixty years apart, and both holding clues to what may be the lost city of Atlantis. Today, Dan Kotler, independent researcher, and archaeologist is winding down from the events surrounding the theft and recovery of the Coelho Medallion and discovering that the fallout of this history-altering adventure reaches further than he'd imagined. As academic colleagues shun him and the press hounds him, Kotler finds himself looking for a new purpose. When Gail McCarthy, granddaughter of one of Manhattan's wealthiest real estate moguls, brings an ancient stone to Kotler's attention, he finds himself embroiled once again in intrigue, jeopardy, and mystery. This time he may uncover one of history's oldest secrets, if he survives long enough. Working with his friend from the FBI, Agent Roland Denzel, Kotler strikes out on a quest to uncover and solve the Atlantis Riddle, and once again rewrite history as we know it.

The third Dan Kotler archaeological thriller! As new technology, based on forbidden historic research, emerges, it quickly turns from hope for millions to a potential threat to billions. Famed rock-star-turned-philanthropist, Ashton Mink, is murdered in his Manhattan high-rise apartment, leaving behind the words "Devil's Interval" as the only clue to the killer's identify or motives. Dan Kotler, archeologist and consultant with the FBI's new Historic Crimes Division, and Agent Roland Denzel, of the FBI, are called to the scene of Mink's murder, and asked to help in the investigation. What they discover is a secret project, based on the research of historic figures such as Sir Isaac Newton, that could alter the course of history and enslave humanity. Devil's Interval is a technology so dangerous it was buried twice, only to return and endanger humanity again. With the assistance of New York Police Detective, Peter Holden, Kotler and Denzel embark on another adventure, racing against the clock to solve Mink's murder, recover stolen technology, and prevent an act of terrorism against all of humanity.
