What would you think if you found evidence of an advanced life-form encased in a two-hundred-million-year-old sandstone canyon wall? This was the problem that Ev Collins had when he found something on a hike in the canyon country of southern Utah. Ev, a geology professor, was pondering whom he could tell and what he could share, when the day after his discovery he chanced upon Mida Peterson, a doctoral anthropology student from the Mescalero Apache Reservation in New Mexico. Ev decided to share his find with Mida, who agreed with the life-changing implications of this stunning discovery. They teamed up for their scientific investigation of their find. Ev quit his job, they moved to nearby Torrey, Utah, and with the aid of Ev's wealthy stepfather, set up a cultural center as a cover. In secrecy they bring in a retired NASA physicist in excavating the find. When they finally enter the buried object, they discover a timeless new Earth. As you join Ev and Mida in their discoveries of time, time travel, geology, supernatural powers, and new life-forms, you will think of the Colorado Plateau canyon country as more than rocks and beautiful views.
