Quest for Eden

Two ancient tablets inscribed with Garden of Eden imagery launches an inquiry whether the intellectual spark from the Tree of Knowledge that created a higher level of intelligence in mankind was an actual event. A series of strange, but connected circumstances convinces Penn that the story in Genesis was not a myth, but instead, the birthplace of man's god-like creativity. Unbeknownst to Penn, an ousted member of the Vega crime family wants revenge against him and his ex-lover Teresa. The situation in Mexico boils as Penn focuses his energy on the discovery of the probable location of the Garden of Eden. Penn makes two amazing discoveries that pinpoint the Garden of Eden in the most dangerous area on Earth, the Middle East. Until the jihadists are subdued or contained, the search for the Garden of Eden would be futile. A momentous act of Islamic terror postpones Penn's quest. Penn and two female special operators seek to avenge the victims of the horrific act of terror and prevent another one that would surpass the heinous September 11th attack in NYC. Thereafter, Penn must return to Mexico one last time with a small chance to survive. The Quest for Eden, the second book in the Dr. Joshua Penn series, continues the adventure that began in The Braverman Tablet and concludes with Eden Found, coming in the fall of 2017.
