Black Onyx Duology
by Victor Methos
A special discounted boxed set of the two Black Onyx Novellas: THE GREATEST MYSTERY OF MANKIND... The Piri Reis map. The most enigmatic artifact in existence. Drawn by an Ottoman Admiral in 1513 and taken from much more ancient maps, it displays sections of Antarctica that could only have been visible from the air before the great ice age nearly 6000 years ago. Explorer and treasure hunter Dillon Mentzer believes the information in the map was discovered by an advanced civilization now lost to history. When word reaches him that an expedition is being mounted by a man claiming to have discovered a lost city, Dillon takes the chance and joins with him. THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON OF THE ANCIENT WORLD... What Dillon finds is a civilization more advanced than our own with a terrible secret: a weapon that has remained hidden for sixty centuries. When the weapon, dubbed "Black Onyx," is exposed, Dillon decides it's too powerful to leave and takes it back with him. AN EVIL THAT WILL STOP AT NOTHING... When the Black Onyx is revealed, El Sacerdote, the most powerful man in the Juarez cartel, learns of its power. He will destroy anyone and everything to get it. He kidnaps those closest to Dillon who reveal to him that there is not one, but multiple Black Onyx suits. El Sacerdote travels to the Antarctic to retrieve a weapon that will allow him to butcher any who oppose him. With the fate of the world in his hands, Dillon must choose whether the fight is worth it. But something he could never have imagined awaits him...an entity more powerful than even the Black Onyx. BLACK ONYX RELOADED UNIMAGINABLE POWER 6000 YEARS IN THE MAKING... A queen is released from her ancient tomb. A woman unmatched in history for her beauty and ruthlessness. She failed to conquer the earth's civilizations once, and she will not fail again. Her thirst for power and vengeance fuels her crusade to hold the world by the throat. ONE MAN DARES STAND AGAINST HER... The Black Onyx is not a superhero. He is just a man, vulnerable and fallible. In a world where people welcome evil willingly, his path to saving those he cares about is obscure. And the most dangerous enemy he has ever faced beckons him, alluring and seducing him with a beauty unlike any he's ever seen. And like those that came before him, he may not survive her attention... The long awaited sequel to Black Onyx, Black Onyx Reloaded is sure to have readers on the edge of their seats.
