author:  Mark Fulcher 
description: <span>In an ancient civilization that spans Earth's galaxy, only those with strength of purpose and razor-sharp cunning can survive the wrath of the lustful and the craven.</span><i>The Time Treasure: Insidious Inheritance</i><span>is the enthralling, wildly inventive science fiction odyssey by Mark Fulcher and Annet Libeau, which pits the ruthless against the righteous in an epic galactic battle royale that could transform the universe. It's a riveting, mind-bending read for anyone who relishes a fantastic story of enduring love, courage, selfishness, greed, and corruption.</span><br><span></span><br><span>When a rockfall unexpectedly reveals relics of a centuries-old culture that once flourished in this galaxy, a greedy observer ignores the dire warnings to leave this find undisturbed, instead exploiting the opportunity for gain. This prompts an organization of powerful individuals from all three planets-- Earth, Mars, and Shaytan--to attempt to lay their hands on the discovery. It's up to a single Earth-based faction and a few intrepid individuals stop these unscrupulous masterminds. The Fighting Priest Daiyus leads the charge, protected by a temple cat, Kyr, the uncannily intelligent guardian angel who protects him from the wrath of the pernicious Hedra. Daiyus and Kyr are soon diverted to rescue the notorious assassin Tumarok. Can they overcome fierce obstacles to keep their civilization soundly in the hands of the virtuous?</span><i>The Time Treasure: Insidious Inheritance</i><span>offers a wild ride of the imagination that will have you gripping every spellbinding word.</span>
