Title: The Outrageous Views of Professor Fogelman
Description: Vin Smith returns with his most intricately plotted novel yet. Introducing a new protagonist in the second installment of the critically acclaimed End Time Mystery Series. This time around The Watcher is monitoring Southern Jefferson University Cosmic Anthropology Professor Linder Fogelman. 

Fogelman is obsessed with only two things in life. The first is proving the validity of his theories, widely seen in academe as outlandish. In his heart, he believes that if he can prove that Lemurians are real and have been peacefully watching over mankind for millenia--then the world's wars would be history. 

But his deepest, most persistent obsession is finding hig long lost fincee, Jessie Ernest. She disappeared ten years earlier while exploring Abu Simbel in Egypt. In spite of a decade long search by Fogelman--with the help of American and Egyptian authorities using the conventional means available--Jessie is still missing. 

But technology continues to advance. Now Fogelman sets out to search for Jessie using a Cosmic Locator that he developed jointly with his buddy, Baron Lee. He will travel through a Vortex Portal on the sacred Mount Shasta, all the way to Abu Simbel in Egypt. 

Will his search enable him to reunite with Jessie, his long lost love? If so, it would keep Lindy Fogelman forever away from Becky Tournup, who has worked by his side and secretly loved him for years... 

The only thing certain is that Professor Fogelman's foray into Egypt ignites an ancient prophecy that involves the handsome professor up to his eyeballs. The very fate of mankind hangs in the balance. 

"This is the second of Smith's end time mysteries, though with a different hero--almost an anti-hero, perhaps. Professor Fogelman is rather harried, not really well-accepted by his peers. For a very good reason: His views are considered hogwash. Views such as Lemurians are real, and the assertion that there are vortexes all over the planet that flying saucers fly through. As an academic, he is viewed as nothing more than a crackpot. But then he stumbles through a "vortex portal" using some newfangled gadget invented by his pal, Baron Lee. Then, one of the most compelling mystery/science fiction/fantasy stories unfolds. Vin Smith is proving to be a most adept novelist, and has become my favorite writer of all time."
