    About this ebook

    George Macdonnell was just a journeyman geologist until a chance to play hero turned him into a reluctant detective. It all went according to myth until the 'meeting with the goddess' part. It was a shame that she was playing the one about a femme fatale. But at least he had a wild ride (being titillated by the glow of an old flame, terrorized in the depths of the earth, perplexed by a pygmy, teased by a sexy oracle and vindicated in a dark tower), that is, until he was nullified by a nude.
