THE QUEST FOR THE STONE BEGINS On September 28, 1992, a mysterious loner is doomed to die in a sensational burst of light, taking with him a meteorite of the ancient world and a power carried down from the dawn of human civilization. Sixteen centuries later, one man hopes to make that power his own by retrieving it from the past. For the reward of virtual immortality, he will spare no expense-and no one who gets in his way. The path to the legendary fire's-eye hinges on a secret left in the memory of an android and on the luck of a spacefaring gambler. Meanwhile, the fate of the stone remains locked in 20th-century Philadelphia, left to a beautiful lawyer who fights to escape the shadow of her eminent family and a private detective who has nothing to lose. The past, present, and future are suddenly on a collision course. For those who stand in the stone's wake, life is about to radically change. Light of the Fire's-Eye is the second novel by Robert William Grofe, author of Hellbender (Sense of Wonder Press, 2009).
