This is a time travel adventure in which the 21st century protagonist uses 25th century technology to extract artifacts and people from the past within the confines of Dr. Ian Stevenson's rules of reincarnation. Interestingly, the entrepreneurial development of the recovery process leads to a massive archaeological expansion on a scale that dwarfs The Smithsonian and provides enough extracted souls to colonize habitable planets across the galaxy. Australia is the new Ellis Island. The Serapis Fraktur is an easy read that will keep you engaged. But, if you expect chase scene action in the first paragraph, go see Star Trek. This is a smart story for smart readers who can appreciate natural development like Richard Connell's, Most Dangerous Game. Suitable for young adult to wizened wizards. Positive 5-star customer reviews from 11 year olds to 70 year olds, West Virginia veteran, Special Forces Colonel, Federal employees, parents, grandparents, etc. Readers start, engage, and finish with satisfaction. A perfect read for a long flight, ocean cruise, or by the hearth on a snowy winter day.
