The Shard of Asclepius
by
Stewart F. Brennan
In a world where the echoes of the past shape the trajectory of the future, Stewart F. Brennan's The Shard of Asclepius emerges as a standout addition to the supernatural, mystery thriller genres. This action-packed debut novel, the first in the New Horizons Series, is captivating readers and sparking new conversations about history, technology, and the human spirit. Blending ancient mysteries with high-tech intrigue, Brennan introduces readers to David Collins, a Montrealer driven by intuition to unearth a technologically advanced artifact of ancient origin. This discovery plunges David into a secret war between the Order of Hermes—keepers of lost knowledge—and the Collective, a ruthless organization seeking to exploit the artifact for global dominance. With allies and enemies across Quebec and New York State, David's journey is one of survival, discovery, and the search for humanity's place in the cosmos.
A gripping, intelligent thriller blending ancient mysteries, high-stakes action, and shadowy conspiracies. Brennan delivers a compelling, thought-provoking, and exhilarating read. ~ Editor's Choice Readers House A journey into an unexpected world that beats with promise, yet also resounds with threats to the human race, surprisingly found in the middle of our ordinary lives. ~ Reader Views Winner of the 2025 IIBA award in the category for Mystery / Thriller and praised by Shelf Unbound in 2024 as a notable indie, The Shard of Asclepius emerges as a thrilling quest for truth and hints at a better way to live on the Earth.
History is filled with untold stories and suppressed truths. With The Shard of Asclepius, I wanted to craft an adventure that not only entertains but also challenges how we perceive the world and our role in shaping its future. ~ Stewart Brennan
