Ancient Enemy
Ancient Enemy - it's been asleep for centuries and now it's awake. It wants things ... and you have to give it what it wants ...<br /><br />Seven hundred years ago the Anasazi people built massive cities in what is now the southwestern United States ... and then they vanished.<br /><br />Stella, an archaeologist specializing in Anasazi culture, and David, a mysterious Navajo boy, are on the run from something terrifying. As they flee up into the snowy mountains of Colorado, they are carjacked by criminals escaping a botched bank robbery. Caught in a blizzard, they must take refuge in what they believe is an abandoned cabin. It's at this cabin that they will face horrors beyond their imagination.<br /><br />What reviewers are saying about Ancient Enemy:<br /><br />"Mark Lukens proves to be a master at escalation and evoking empathy for his characters; his settings are so realistic that one has the urge to grab a warm blanket (and then hide under it). Such a relentless tension drives his horror plot that he kept me up until the wee hours wanting to get to the bottom of the supernatural mystery." - A.M. Stickel: Editor of Black Petals Magazine (blackpetals.net)<br /><br />"With Ancient Enemy, Lukens has shown the world that he can imagine and write with the best ... Mark Lukens will soon be a household name. Superb writing and my interest in Ancient Enemy never flagged for one moment." - Lee Ashford for Readers' Favorite (readersfavorite.com)<br /><br />"Mesmerizing!" - James Byron Huggins, author of CAIN and HUNTER
