The story begins September 6, 1492, in San Sebastian de la Gomera, Canary Islands. Three ships commandeered by Columbus in his memorable voyage to the New World were about to set sail for their destination when an officially sealed letter relaying orders from Queen Isabella came. They were to depart along with a fourth ship. This new addition was a mystery to both the crews of the other ships, as well as its own. The captain, Thiago Luis-Aroso, was the only one privy to the content of the cargo, one solitary crate inside of which was an intricately carved container that appeared to be made of gold. During the course of their journey on the high seas, the fourth ship met with an accident. The three other vessels loitered in the area for several hours, searching for survivors. There were none. When it was no longer reasonable to delay, they resumed their original course.Moving forward to present-day, best friends, business partners and diving-duo Sebastian Alexander Tate and Sean Rylan's charter business Atlantic Treasures Unlimited is going broke when Professor Kirby James approached them for an underwater expedition. Though they are reluctant, they are aware that the money would be enough to set them going forward in their business. Assembling a crew, they embarked on a dangerous mission. Unknown to Sean and Alex, the cargo of the ship that sunk contained the Ark of the Covenant which will give unlimited power to the person who gets hold of it.Mixing elements of the supernatural with suspense, adventure, action and mystery, Unearthly Power by R. K. Sidler is a story that will mesmerize and captivate readers. If you loved Indiana Jones, you will surely love this novel.
