Book Description

Publication Date: March 15, 2011

Ancient cosmic visitors. Atlantis. Human evolution. Bigfoot sightings. Many researchers have raised the questions and offered answers. Now, Lisa A. Shiel explores her own theories to solve the age-old mystery­--where did we come from?

** The Hunt for Bigfoot -- A novel of adventure and romance in the north woods **

Katy Gallagher and her mentor, historian Charlie Bergren, scour the Earth for proof current evolutionary theories are flawed. Their quest turns dangerous when Katy is threatened and Charlie vanishes. To find him, Katy must join forces with his son, Rick, who's a skeptic about everything Katy believes in. Plunging into the depths of Michigan's north woods, Katy and Rick tumble into a double-edged mystery--a hidden Bigfoot society protected by an ancient race with highly advanced technology who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets; and a mysterious billionaire willing, for his own reasons, to kill to preserve the Bigfoot legend.

To stay alive, Katy and Rick must unravel an enigma half a billion years in the weaving. They must find the creatures science says cannot exist.

Don't miss the next two books in the Human Origins Series -- Lord of the Dead and Relic of the Ancient Ones!

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"The Hunt for Bigfoot" is the first in the Human Origins Series, to be followed soon by the exciting sequel - "Lord of the Dead." In "The Hunt for Bigfoot," Lisa A. Shiel provides far more than another scary tale of Bigfoot monsters. "The Hunt for Bigfoot" delves into the hows and whys and whens, weaves seemingly disparate theories into a coherent whole, and wraps it all in a compelling mystery involving a secretive, highly advanced ancient race and a sometimes murderous billionaire.

From the Author

While this book is fiction, I based it on my own theories about evolution, Bigfoot, UFOs, and ancient history (especially ancient Egypt). I have researched these topics out of sheer curiosity, and hope the book encourages others to do the same.

This review is from: The Hunt for Bigfoot: A Novel of Adventure & Romance in the North Woods (Human Origins Series, Book 1) (Paperback)

While recently lecturing for the Dallas-Fort Worth chapter of Mufon (the Mutual UFO Network), I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa Shiel, the author of a new book titled "The Hunt For Bigfoot."
According to the blurb for the book, "Lisa A. Shiel turned a long-time interest in alternative history and archaeology (especially Egyptology) into gripping fiction based on her own unique interpretation of events that have fueled curiosity worldwide."

With a Master's Degree in Library Science from the University of North Texas to her credit, Lisa has written what is without doubt (in my own opinion) a lively, exciting and gripping piece of fiction based around the Bigfoot mystery - and a number of other mysteries, too!

The book focuses primarily upon Katy Gallagher, a website designer and would-be anthropologist, and historian Charlie Bergren, who scour the planet for proof that current evolutionary theories are flawed.

Their quest turns dangerous when Katy is threatened and Charlie vanishes. Katy joins forces with Charlie's son, amateur Egyptologist Rick Bergren, to find the missing Charlie.

Plunging into the depths of Michigan's north woods, they tumble into a double-edged mystery - a hidden Bigfoot society protected by an ancient race with highly advanced technology who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets, and a mysterious billionaire willing, for his own reasons, to kill to preserve the Bigfoot legend.

To stay alive, Katy and Rick must unravel an enigma half a billion years in the weaving. They must find the creature science says cannot exist.

If you are even remotely interested in cryptozoology, ancient cosmic visitors, the legends of Atlantis, human evolution and more, then grab a copy of "The Hunt For Bigfoot" by Lisa Shiel as soon as possible.

Book one in the "Human Origins" series, it is soon to be followed by its sequel: "Lord Of The Dead."
