Archipelagos At the dawn of the third millennium the discovery of a wondrous and dangerous new world... A remote sensing satellite in deep space detects strange signals from distant islands in the Pacific Ocean. Jack Wilder, a geologist working for the giant Geotech conglomerate, is forced into an expedition to the Magellan Archipelago. Expecting the trip to be a waste of time, he is swept into the greatest adventure of all, the discovery of his own true soul. In an impossible world from our past, which has evolved intriguingly different from our own, Jack will find it holds secrets that can transform our world if only he can survive. Includes a special appendix outlining the beliefs called the New Vision of this strange new world that provides insights into the nature of our own existence.
