Book Description

January 1, 2012
DENVER, COLORADO
Mark Sanborn is seven years old when the death of his big brother is surrounded by mysterious circumstances. Following this childhood tragedy, a strange phobia manifests itself, and over the years, begins to consume him.

At age 25, Mark finds himself alone after the death of his parents, so he loses himself in his work as a forensic pathologist, leaving no time for friends or a social life of any kind. His life dramatically changes the day he meets Iris Blue, an attractive waitress and nursing student. After a whirlwind romance, he’s certain that he has found his soulmate, the woman of his dreams.

As Mark and Iris begin to build their lives together, they meet Hal and Roxie Lundstrom and become close friends. Strange occurrences are reported throughout Colorado. There are sightings of unidentified lights in the skies and incidents of cattle mutilations. Then, one day Iris vanishes, and Mark’s world is turned upside down. Months go by, but there are no leads. There are only questions, and the case goes cold.

A discovery in a faraway desert requires investigation and expertise of forensic scientists and medical personnel from around the world. Mark hesitates, but then decides to embark on this bizarre expedition. The scientists are in a state of shock when evidence points to the existence of an alien species.

No one is prepared for what secrets are buried with the souls of the desert.

Will Mark ever find out what happened to his dear Iris?

I'm not a huge book reader but heard GREAT things about "Souls of the Desert" and had to buy it. I started the book and couldn't put it down. It was such a wonderful love story with a lot of suspense that had you wondering what would happen next. I lose interest in a lot of books and never finish them but the author, Robert M. Roberts, keeps you interested and wanting more. I highly recommend this book to everyone! I know what I'm buying everyone for Christmas!

Another hit from Roberts March 23, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Souls of the Desert is Robert Roberts second novel and it does not disappoint. Have you ever wondered if we are visited by beings from another world? Do you ever wonder what they might look like, or why they would be here? Roberts has given that `alien question' a new twist.

With well developed characters and vivid imagery Souls of the Desert takes you on a journey to faraway deserts, Mexico, and other interesting destinations. The novel guides you through the loss, loneliness and soul searching that Mark feels after Iris, his true love, disappears suddenly. When you think you've got it all figured out, the novel adds a new twist and takes you on another direction.

From beginning to end Souls of the Desert keeps you hooked, looking for answers. Eventually the answers are forthcoming, but not at all what you expect. If you are at all interested in aliens and strange mysteries, with a little intrigue mixed in, you'll enjoy this novel. This second novel by Robert Roberts is another well written hit that I would recommend to anyone with a taste for the unknown.

More About the Author

Robert M. Roberts grew up in Joplin, Missouri and spent most of his childhood weekends in movie theaters. When he wasn't taking in a movie, he was at his parent's beer tavern observing the unique characteristics and mannerisms of the everyday bar patrons. As an adult, his service in the United States Navy and employment as an international salesman took him to many countries around the world, exposing him to different personalities and cultures. These experiences combined with the vivid imagination he was born with, is what inspires him to write novels of intrigue and suspense, with a touch of humor thrown in along the way. Robert currently resides with his wife and cat in a small town located in the Ozark Mountain region of the Midwest.
