Dr. Joshua Penn is no ordinary archeologist. Like Indiana Jones, he's a college professor and renowned expert. An ex-Navy SEAL, he has buried his past operating dark ops in the Middle East. Accompanied by his wealthy Latina colleague, lover and famous anthropologist, Teresa Vega, they take possession of an obsidian tablet engraved in Biblical Hebrew discovered by two American tourists and their Mayan Guide in the Yucatan. If authentic, the artifact predates Columbus by two millennia and will drastically alter history. The inscription may be a new revelation from God but is incomplete. Its discovery ignites worldwide interest, particularly from the Mormon Church, desperate for archeological evidence to prove the historicity of the Book of Mormon. Josh and Teresa are plunged into intrigue, corruption, and are nearly torn apart when a Mexican crime syndicate tries to murder them and sell the tablet in the black market. They might find salvation from a Japanese industrialist, but don't trust his motives or his omniscient abilities. Join The Braverman Tablet, the first in the Dr. Joshua Penn Series, and journey along as he unravels the mysteries surrounding the artifact and the people who seek to either enlist or destroy him.
