Review

"An exciting, well-researched, rollercoaster ride of a novel – I enjoyed every last page." -- Paul Vella, Animals & Men Magazine, Issue 34, The Center for Fortean Zoology

A good read for an evening campfire setting gathered around in front of pitch tents near a lake. -- Independent Publishing Review, Summer 2004

Product Description

In her new novel "The Hunt for Bigfoot," author Lisa A. Shiel examines theories as diverse as Bigfoot, ancient cosmic visitors to Earth, the destruction of Atlantis, and questions about the validity of human evolutionary theories. Researchers like Erich von Daniken, Graham Hancock, and Loren Coleman have raised the questions and proposed answers. Shiel explores these theories but offers her own answers to the age-old question – where did we come from?

5.0 out of 5 stars Monstrously Entertaining!, November 18, 2004

By	Nick Redfern (Texas United States) - See all my reviews

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."
