The Alboran Codex

A lost empire. A deadly conspiracy. A battle for control of the world.Β 

For 1,900 years, the secret order of the Nabateans remained in the shadows. Now, their final plan nears completionβ€”and only archaeologist Carter Devereux can stop them. Hunted and outnumbered, he must solve an ancient mystery before they reshape the world forever.

In the year 106 AD, when the Roman legions marched on their capital at Petra, the Nabateans surrendered their empire to the Romans without a fight, and according to historians, ceased to exist. But very few knew that the Nabateans didn't cease to exist; they just stayed out of sight for more than 1,900 years. Now, they are on the verge of implementing their final plan.

Carter Devereux, with his knowledge of the City of the Giants and their library in the Egyptian desert, is the only obstacle in the way of achieving their goals. Therefore, the order of the Council of the Covenant of Nabatea is clear: "We MUST have that information. All of it. Move in on Carter Devereux... and get it at all costs, up to and including the killing of everyone...."

The Alboran Codex is the third book in the Carter Devereux series, the sequel to the best-seller Wolves of Freydis. It is a nail-biting suspense-thriller about an ancient conspiracy set on total world domination, in every sense of the word - political, financial, energy, and information technology.

Ryan's diverse life experiences deeply inform his writing. After receiving a military degree, he served as an officer for seven years until a crippling back injury forced a career change.
