A handful of people from across the globe and spanning four centuries, their lives bound together by fate, are guided toward the one thing they all have in common…the island.
A sultry breeze whispers warnings through the palms as a wounded sixteenth-century settler enters the island’s dark cavern, disturbing ancient secrets. Amid intertwined tendrils of vines growing without sunlight, he finds a mysterious power source which will change his life forever. His prayers are answered until he loses the woman he loves. The gift becomes a curse as he walks the earth alone, haunted by her memory.
Four-hundred years into the future, an aging scientist loses his job, his health, and his wife. Approaching the eventide of life, he dreams of youth and yearns for second chances. When his team discovers the island on an old map, he uses an emerging technology to harness the earth’s energy in an attempt to change the past.
The island is an eternal curse for some. For others, it is a new beginning. In a world where greed is a constant threat, the love of a beautiful woman must link them together in an adventure that defies the logics of time.
The Devil Graveyards eBook TL Parker
This gripping and fast-moving novel by T.L. Parker is based on fringe science and some historical and archaeological anomalies. While it is not the first book to provide this mix ("The HAB Theory," based on Hapgood's theory of polar displacement and his study of the Peri Reise Map, comes to mind) it is a better effort than most of the others. The author does not get lost in the esoteric science or bogged down with mundane relationships. Instead the science (or pseudo-science) propels the story at break-neck speed and the characters are fully delineated so that their relationships become integral to the plot. The author gives us admirable heroes and a villain whose philosophy of "people get what they deserve" is proven true in the best possible way."The Devil's Graveyards" is based on the idea of a world grid, that there are occult power centers at charted coordinates, many of which were known to the Ancients and upon which they built such edifices as Stonehenge, the Pyramids at Giza, and the statues at Easter Island. They are also the site of strange disappearances, as in the Bermuda Triangle and the Dragon's Sea, which was explained in a series of Saga Magazine articles by my late pal Ivan T Sanderson in the 1970s, as well as in several books by explorer David Hatcher Childress. Using stones from those locations, coupled with modern particle physics, two men learn how to teleport in space and time, to bring back the treasures of the past. One of those men is good-hearted, the other, not so much.
Though the reader may at first be a bit confused by events, that's not unusual in a novel with a time travel theme. As the plot advances, the pieces begin to fall into place, but, since this is a time travel novel, there are also plenty of twists along the way, and a few startling ones toward the end.
This is a great novel for those who like lots of adventure mixed in with their science fiction as in the works of Matthew Reilly, or wish there was more science mixed in with the adventure novels of writers like Clive Cussler. For those who want to examine some of the theories, events and anomalies themselves, the author has included a bibliography (I had all the books already) and a number of Internet links. All in all, an excellent effort, one worth your investment of time and money.

The Devil Graveyards eBook TL Parker Reviews
I gave <i><b>The Devil’s Graveyards</b></i> five stars before I got around to writing a review. I didn’t want to wait!
Science fiction covers a broad spectrum, from the classic Jules Verne, to early Andre Norton where she regales us with the stories of good guys vs. bad on distant planets and distant worlds, to Robert Heinlein, and the plethora of fantasy worlds and vampires and zombies. I’m not much of a fan of vampires and zombies, nor do I care to try to learn another language on another world. But nestled neatly in there with all that science fiction lies time travel.
I love time travel and I love a good adventure story. This offers both.
To me time travel falls into two broad categories Adventure stories, some teaching history as it might have been, others imagining the future, all conveniently using time travel as a vehicle; Technically, I suppose <i><b>The Devil’s Graveyards</b></i> falls into the other category, emphasizing the science, the details of how time travel might be possible, using the wonders of the science and the mysteries already in place in our world, with a story thrown in for good measure.
I said technically it falls into the latter category, but that doesn’t do it justice. T.L.Parker makes the science of time travel seem very plausible, very believable. On the other hand, the story, the adventure, is too entertaining, too compelling to relegate it to an afterthought.
I was first attracted to the book by its cover. I am a sailor at heart with a little Walter Mitty thrown in. I was not disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, and I look forward to the author’s future offerings.
I was pleased to find this book does not leave one hanging. No cliffhanger. Thank you very much. On the other hand, with the science (fiction) T.L.Parker has developed for us, I think there are other stand alone books out there. I hope so.
I was fortunate enough to catch a copy of TL Parker’s “The Devil’s Graveyards” during her promotional giveaway. I have been haunting these events, especially in between paydays, to plus up my “to be read” pile. I didn’t know what to expect—I usually shy away from materials touting “The Devil’s…” anything, but there was something about the teaser and the cover that prompted me to try it.
I am really glad that I did. The premise of a global network of powerful nodes that allow time travel, immortality, and the opportunity to hunt down historical treasure troves—well, it just doesn’t get any better.
I admit I was a bit confused at first, but soon understood, like travelling into the past to get answers to questions yet unasked, the beginning of this story helped the whole story at the end. Okay, that may be unclear now but after you have read the story you will understand. And you have to read the story. Ms. Parker has hit all of her authorly marks with the characters in her book; they are complex enough to be believable, but she doesn’t over-explain anything about them. She doesn’t have to, the characters betray their own foibles and strengths. The story leads you nicely along from the end, to the middle, to the beginning, to the end…I may be somewhat confused, but she wasn’t while crafting this story.
If you are looking for something to read, and you’re up for taking on a new author or if you have been following her along in her earlier works, “The Devil’s Graveyards” is a great place to start. She has hooked me, I plan on tagging along with her in her newest, “Superstitions”. Keep ‘em coming TL Parker, I’m ready to read.
