Title: The Second Coming of Lucas Brokaw
First published: October 2000
Description: Lucas Brokaw is an incredibly wealthy man.  Though amassing one of the greatest fortunes in the world, he is without an heir to inherit his money.  Now Lucas is looking death in the face and has decided to leave his money--to whoever can prove to be his reincarnated self.  He accomplishes this seemingly impossible feat by setting up a foundation to oversee his assets until someone steps forward as the reincarnation of Lucas Brokaw, and can prove it.  Hundreds of candidates emerge, each claiming to be the millionaire returned to collect his fortune.  But all of them fail to provide significant knowledge of the life of Brokaw to back up their petition.  Only one candidate is able to pass all of the tests.  Now he must prove himself by traversing the final and most difficult obstacle: a chamber of secrets rife with deadly traps that can only be defused by such intimate knowledge of Brokaw that only the original man himself would be able to emerge with his life.
