www.minoanatlantis.com. A sensational epic thriller set in the world of the Aegean Minoans at their height before the apocalyptic eruption of the Theran volcano. Their lives are brought to life with the archeological evidence from Crete, Santorini, and Avaris in this deadly psychological adventure. Who are these "Others" that would mercilessly murder and mutilate young children? Would his training in the "Way of Nature" lead him to the truth? Sail with the Minoan fleet to take the treasure of Avaris, and witness the Holocaust of fire from Thera's titanic volcanic pyroclastic surge. A human saga as timeless and relevant today as it was 3,600 years ago.

Review

The Minoan Psychopath is part history, mystery, and adventure rolled into a very engaging story. It starts out quickly, introducing you to the hero and the culture of ancient Minoa. The history was fascinating to me. To think that there was a culture this advanced so long ago is amazing. The technology and sophistication they had was very interesting to read. Mr. Baird doesn't bog you down in the details as he weaves the story into them. He moves the story along nicely as you get deeper into a murder plot and political intrigue. He also finds the time to stage a major military engagement in the middle of all this. Underlying the action is a serious study of the "psychopath." He goes into the mind of the "Others", as he calls them, and comes out with an informative diagnosis of the symptoms and dangers of the psychopaths that lived then and still live among us. The end will stun you and leave you wanting more and I for one will eagerly devour the next offering from this new author.
