Nothing New Under the Sun

What if everything we know about history is wrong?

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.

About the Author

Since the publication of his first book, The Tenth Cycle, JC Ryan's books received high acclaim from readers who bought more than 800,000 of his books and read more than 57 million pages. Ryan has been married to his college sweetheart since 1978. They have two daughters, two sons-in-law, and one grandchild. Before he started writing mystery-suspense novels, Ryan got a military degree and served as an officer in the military for seven years before a crippling back injury forced him to change careers. He returned to university, studied law, and became a lawyer, running his own private practice for more than fifteen years before he moved to another country, became an IT project manager, and finally, in 2014, got the opportunity to pursue his lifelong dream of being a writer.
