The Star Tablet

Book excerpt: Psychic Investigator Jack Stein’s latest case takes him to strange new landscapes—and equally bizarre mindscapes. He’s on a search for Billie, his sixteen-year-old ward, who accepted an invitation to study archeology at the University of Balance City in Utrecht, and suddenly disappeared. Complicating his investigation: the professor, Hervé Antille, who embarked on a mysterious interstellar journey, accompanied by Billie; the millionaire, Maximilian Aire, the overlord of Balance City, who has a disturbing connection to Jack’s past; and the ghost, who’s been appearing in Jack’s dreams, guiding him to a mysterious destination. Now, what began as a search for Billie has turned into something far more dangerous—not only for Jack, but for all of humanity.
