Star Gift

Explosive discoveries were made by an eccentric desert collector who chose to hide his phenomenal secrets for over thirty years. Blake Henderson inherited more than just a key to a remote storage garage in Farmington, New Mexico. When his estranged and recluse father died, few useless belongings were handed down to him.

The Pueblo Native Americans of Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, had a massive and advanced civilization long before the Spanish invaded their ancestral lands in the 16th century. But why, and how did these indigenous people so quickly and inexplicably disappear?

What he found in the wake of his murder, however, threatened to shake what is known about our singular existence in the universe . . .
