The first book in V. S. Holmes’ archaeological sci-fi selected for Peregrine Moon Lander as part of the Writers on the Moon Time Capsule launching fall of 2021

CANTON, OHIO, UNITED STATES, February 4, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- No one fights dirtier than an archaeologist.

Dr. Nel Bently has barely dug into Chile’s dry earth when her pristine site is vandalized. Her archaeologist’s dream of a ground-breaking project funded by a private patron turns into a nightmare: local activists Los Pobladores take issue with anyone brave--or stubborn--enough to set boots on their land. And foul-mouthed Nel is stubborn as they come.

Despite the danger, Nel refuses to surrender her site to vandals. Easier said than done, however, with the greenest crew she’s ever trained, absurd radiocarbon dates, and angry militants who may actually have a point.

When Los Pobledores land a blow that turns Nel’s world upside down, she realizes her mysterious benefactor is playing chess with their lives. Grief-stricken and angrier than ever, Nel is ready to fight dirty.
