"...an entertaining and engaging story..." -Neil Buchanan, Starburst Magazine
There's an innocence to Serpentauria that proves hard to resist. It is at once an entertaining and engaging story full of intrigue and betrayal, but there's also a powerful message about species extinction that's difficult to ignore. Serpentauria serves as an excellent gateway for children into the problems facing nature and also manages to remain a fine adventure to boot.
Serpentauria—Latin origin (serpens, serpe•ns); something that is magic, the bearer of potent mythical powers.
“A medallion holds the power to become an Animal Guardian | A Defender of Earth’s Living Treasures.”
Many of the world’s spiritual leaders, as well as indigenous teachers and professionals, acknowledge the energy center of our planet shifted in 1987 from the Masculine energies of Tibet to the Feminine energies of Peru, and more particular, Lake Titicaca, Machu Picchu, and the Sacred Valley of the Incas. There is also a prophecy all the Americas, north and south, were once bonded by a spiritual tradition and leader—and that one day they will be again. In eons past, they were united and known as Amaru-ca, ‘The Land of the Serpent’ and the symbol of the serpent was universally accepted as one of spiritual strength and wisdom.
“According to legend there is a special place, guarded against all evil by the ‘winged serpent.’ A place that serves humans and animals alike to create and maintain balance and harmony between, humans, nature and our world’s ecosystem.”
As you’ll find out, it is not just a legend…
Serpentauria: Ark of Extinction is packed with thrills, science and fantasy.
The story revolves around Sara, her mother Marina and father Mikhail, a geneticist. Sara Tsvetkov is not a typical 11 year old girl and her mom and dad are not the typical run-of-the-mill parents in modern suburbia. They lead a team dedicated to saving and protecting animals, and discovering how to use nature to find cures for many deadly diseases that ravage mankind. Added in is the Tsvetkov’s quest to save the world’s endangered animals and bring back once-extinct species to life using recovered DNA and cutting-edge cloning techniques.
The Tsvetkov’s journey starts with an event centuries ago that establishes Marina’s family as a line of stewards that serve as a host for an ancient animal guardian spirit worshipped by the Inca. A diary and medallion given to Marina by her grandmother compel Marina to make a startling discovery in Peru. It solidifies belief in the power of her legacy and the importance of working with nature to solve many of the problems faced by mankind. This discovery and Marina’s work with and love of snakes lead Mikhail to exploring the use of natural venoms in the development of cancer-fighting medicines. That secret research into a cancer cure draws the unwanted interest of others, including people in the US government, organized crime in Russia and South America. All want to steal the research and its byproduct, a fast-acting super-toxin with no antidote that makes its victims appear to have died by snakebite. Entangled by those bad elements, inserting themselves into their efforts, Marina and Mikhail turn to some of their own contacts within a federal agency to save their research… and their lives. The truth about Marina’s family and Mikhail’s work is revealed as we find that their secret facility concealed in the depths of a South American mountain hides far more than anyone can imagine.
Serpentauria: Ark of Extinction — the novel — combines a family action adventure story with cutting-edge true-to-life (and increasingly popular) zoological sciences. The film takes a serious turn by shedding light on the alarming number of endangered species of animals facing extinction on this planet. Wrapped within a thrilling story line of intrigue and betrayal, this amazing journey takes you on a gripping ride from the beautiful, desolate, sun-drenched deserts of Arizona to the remote and mysterious mountains of Peru; where Marina and Mikhail come face-to-face with an extraordinary discovery that will astonish the world—and lead to their daughter, Sara, who becomes the first new Animal Guardian in over 800 years.
When you put it all together, it’s a magical, inspirational experience.
We welcome you into the world of Serpentauria.
Some real cool reviews
5.0 out of 5 stars A scientific seminar educating readers as it entertains them!!!, February 3, 2012
Being a fan all my life of such sci fi and fantasy greats as Jack Williamson, E. E. "Doc" Smith, Roger Zelanzy, and a host of others that are in my book collection, I was intrigued when I downloaded this book not knowing what to expect. I have to admit this novel blew me away, being very critical about the formula of what is believable, and what is not, which is a basic formula of good sci fi, in my opinion. This story is a wonderful first step, of something new, the sci fi and fantasy fans have to look forward too, hope there will be a series to follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prophetic poetry!!!, February 2, 2012
It is very rare, when words make you think and touch your soul. This book has all the elements. I read a lot and this one is a good one. Very touched with the character "Willow". This book makes you look at our world and yourself in different light, can we really bring back animals from extinction? Do we really have the science to do this? Is it the right thing to do to save human kind? Or will be become extinct from our own ignorance? Shein may be the next HG wells with his foresee of the future in this work of fiction. My mind is fried, I am a believer know!!!!!! This one may become a classic. Buy It!!

5.0 out of 5 stars No vampires or zombies here!! But believable characters!!!!!, February 1, 2012
I am fan of saving the environment ,but often do not like the message being crammed down my throat. However Shein really does a great job grabbing the reader, weaving a very exciting adventure, and a subtle environmental message with my new hero Sara, as the center piece being the one that finds her destiny and saves her animal friends, while she deals with just being a kid. Good read for all ages!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Remarkably realistic!, January 31, 2012
The best novel I've read in a very long time..... a mix of sci fi and a dab of paranormal, add some really believable science which makes this a keeper! Shein makes you think that we are all connected in one way or another. Making medicine from snake venom? It is remarkably realistic with the story's depictions of what a lot of money, and a little bit of luck, are all a person needs to make this unlikely landscape scenario to become very real in the hidden jungles that makes you think twice about what's really going on out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, January 31, 2012
This book was very detailed and unique, also it was so convincing that I wanted it to be real. My favorite part was the fact that Sara lived in a dome surrounded by animals. I wish I could interact with these exotic animals as she does. I hope to read more from this author in the future.

This book is an exciting and imaginative story. Lots of action and plenty of intrigue. There's no foul language which is a plus but there is violence ( caution to younger readers ). A great book to enjoy more than once. A keeper!

5.0 out of 5 stars Could not put it down, January 25, 2012
I don't usually read a book with strange title. I have been given this book as a gift and my first reaction was....'why can't they give me something I'd like?' I started reading it (not to offend the giver) and I was hooked. The writing is superb and it got me so interested that I could not put it down till I finish it.
When it came to thank the giver, it was a heartfelt thanks.
