    "From the number one New York Times best-selling author of the Generations Trilogy comes the second book in the Sun Symbol series (formerly Earthcore), an epic story of lost civilizations, redemption, and immeasurable treasure.With shades of Tom Clancy, Stephen King, and James Rollins, Mount Fitz Roy continues the tale of Patrick O’Doyle and Bertha Lybrand, who were part of the horror show that occurred far below the mountains of Utah. They learn that the ""mother of all motherlodes” discovered there was not unique, that there is another deposit similar to it three miles beneath the towering peak of Cerro Chaltén on the disputed border between Chile and Argentina.O'Doyle, a middle-aged former member of a disgraced black-ops unit, gets his aging team back together to go after this fortune. Funded by the mining company EarthCore, he, Bertha, and his crew of 40-something operators try to turn back the clock long enough to make them all richer than their wildest dreams.But three miles below the surface, where geothermal temperatures will cook you alive, something is waiting. Waiting, and guarding. This time, O’Doyle is well-prepared and well-armed - if he survives, he will be set for life, and he will have his revenge for the Utah massacre.Peformed by Terence Aselford, Danny Gavigan, Nora Achrati, Andrew Colford, Ken Jackson, Wyn Delano, Nazia Chaudhry, James Konicek, Rob McFadyen, Robb Moreira, Eva Wilhelm, Shravan Amin, KenYatta Rogers, Darius Johnson, Eric Messner, Kay Eluvian and Michael John Casey."

    War between the island states of Kattaka and Mazemoor has left no one unscathed. Méka's nomadic people, the Ba'Suon, were driven from their homeland by the Kattakans. Those who remained were forced to live under the Kattakan yoke, to serve their greed for gold alongside the dragons with whom the Ba'Suon share an empathic connection.A decade later and under a fragile truce, Méka returns home from her exile for an ancient, necessary rite: gathering a king dragon of the Crown Mountains to maintain balance in the wild country. But Méka's act of compassion toward an imprisoned dragon and Lilley, a Kattakan veteran of the war, soon draws the ire of the imperialistic authorities. They order the unwelcome addition of an enigmatic Ba'Suon traitor named Raka to accompany Méka and Lilley to the mountains.The journey is filled with dangers both within and without. As conflict threatens to reignite, the survival of the Ba'Suon people, their dragons, and the land itself will depend on the decisions—defiant or compliant—that Méka and her companions choose to make. But not even Méka, kin to the great dragons of the North, can anticipate the depth of the consequences to her world.
