Revealing the Passage (Trace Newater Book 2)
About
There are mysteries that linger in history.
And then there are mysteries that are built.
Stone by stone. Angle by angle. Star by star.
Long before governments tracked bank accounts and casinos watched their floors with hidden cameras, there were other systems of surveillance. The ancients measured time against the sky. They aligned stone with constellation. They understood that shape itself could be language.
And language, when carved into the right structure, becomes instruction.
Revealing the Passage expands the world of Trace Newater beyond blood feuds and generational grudges. What begins as another missing person case in Las Vegas quickly fractures into something far older… something that stretches back to 2372 BCE and the shadowed corridors of a pyramid where certain passageways were never meant to be entered.
An accountant vanishes.
Travel records don’t reconcile.
Investigations stall without explanation.
And buried beneath a casino built in imitation of ancient Egypt lies the unsettling question: what if imitation isn’t the whole story?
From modern-day Las Vegas to the sands of Egypt… from FBI files to forbidden hieroglyphs, the series now turns toward architecture, astronomy, and the possibility that the ancient world may have understood something about reality that modern science is only beginning to suspect.
At the center once again is Trace Newater… still skeptical, still relentless, but increasingly forced to confront patterns that don’t obey linear time. Patterns that suggest some structures are more than monuments.
Some are mechanisms.
If Book One asked whether the past can bleed into the present…
Book Two asks something far more dangerous
… the passage is opening.
