Search for the Mystic Stone — J.G. Sauer

The thought of digging up an artifact that was handled by another human being from a distant time in history fascinates me. I love archaeology, as well as all things paranormal. Now take an ancient relic, add a paranormal power to it, and you have the Guardian series -- a captivating mix that I can really get behind. The series chronicles the missions of a disgraced ex-Ranger leading a ragtag squad of misfits -- each with their own unique paranormal gifts -- as they search for ancient mystical artifacts. But these aren't just any old relics. In some cases, these pieces have the potential to change or destroy life as we know it, especially in the wrong hands. Search for the Mystic Stone begins the series with the Guardians searching for the dangerous and elusive crystals known as the Mystic Stone. Evan Coulter is no stranger to life or death situations. The ex-Ranger has faced down danger too many times to count. But when an ancient paranormal relic with prophetic powers known as the Mystic Stone is stolen and put up for auction, he must lead the Guardians in a race to neutralize the threat before it can be used by a wealthy industrialist to change the future. Can he gain the assistance of the entrepreneur's daughter? If so, will she be a help or a hindrance?
