Description
Archaeologist Carter Devereux's research leads him to an unsettling conclusion: our ancestors may have been far more advanced than we ever imagined.
Following an ancient trail across South America, India, and the Middle East, he uncovers evidence of prehistoric civilisations with technologies that rival—or even surpass—our own.
Most disturbing are the texts that describe nuclear devastation thousands of years ago. As Carter races to uncover these ancient weapons, he finds himself caught between powerful forces who would kill to possess such artefacts. His discoveries challenge everything we thought we knew about human history, but they might also hold the key to humanity's future—or its destruction.
Nothing New Under the Sun is the first book in J.C. Ryan's Carter Devereux Mystery Thriller series, blending archaeological adventure with a race against time to prevent history's deadliest weapons from falling into the wrong hands.

★★★★★ JC Ryan hits another home run with Carter Devereux.
★★★★★ One of the finest science fiction/fact books I have read.
