The Gold Box was only the beginning.

More than ten years after the events of The Midas Protocol, the mystery of Hank Raglan’s disappearance still haunts the people he left behind. It is 2001, and the world is about to change again.

Caroline Friday has rebuilt her life as an investigative journalist, but some stories refuse to stay buried. When old secrets resurface and dangerous men begin moving in the shadows, Caroline is pulled back into the hidden world of the Gold Box — a world of impossible technology, ancient power, and forces that have shaped human history from beyond the edge of understanding.

Meanwhile, Hank Raglan is alive.

Trapped beneath Baghdad in a brutal underground labor camp, Hank has spent years as a prisoner of men who want to exploit what he knows. But the Gold Box is not the only artifact that matters. Somewhere beyond modern history lies Anunara, a lost kingdom from the dawn of civilization, where a boy named Ben and a hybrid prince named Mory are drawn into a deadly struggle involving kings, monsters, gods, and a Gateway Obelisk older than myth.

As Caroline follows a trail from Pittsburgh to Washington and into the uneasy aftermath of September 11, she finds herself hunted by Mortimer Vanterpool and a ruthless cabal determined to control the next evolution of Bingham’s impossible invention. But as war gathers in the deserts of Iraq, the conspiracy proves larger than any corporation, government, or era. Time itself is bending. Ancient legends are waking. And the call from the labyrinth is growing louder.

Blending science fiction, conspiracy thriller, ancient mystery, and mythic adventure, Call of the Minotaur is the second book in The Midas Files — a story of hidden worlds, buried crimes, impossible choices, and ordinary people caught in the machinery of the Universe.

Because some monsters do not wait at the center of the maze.

Some build it.Call of the Minotaur: Midas Files Book Two is also available in paperback in two editions: Call of the Minotaur – Part I, and Call of the Minotaur – Part II.
