The truth about human history is about to be revealed. . . But will we be allowed to know it?

For thousands of years the truth about human history has intentionally been suppressed and exploited.

For decades scholars have been saying that the truth about human history will be found inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, but up till now no one has ever been able to find it. Those who tried have been ridiculed and persecuted.

Will Daniel Rossler and Dr. Sarah Clarke be allowed to uncover the real and true message? As they come closer to the truth, skepticism out of the academic community is replaced by evil and malicious adversaries, dumping them into a very hostile world where violence, deceit and duplicity become their daily companions. The mysterious Orion Society with its deranged and psychopathic members, the CIA, the Marines, the Mossad and even the President of the United States become involved. Not all of them have good intentions.

THE TENTH CYCLE is a full-length novel, a provocative technothriller about human history, conspiracies and an ancient society with power and money that will stop at nothing to reach their sinister goals.

This fast-paced thriller adventure is the first book in J C Ryan's Rossler Foundation Mystery Series.

Review

Meghan Amazon Top 1,000 Reviewer - For some reason, JC Ryan's thriller, 'The Tenth Cycle' reads like the offspring of a Tom Clancy and a Clive Cussler partnership--although JC Ryan can easily stand on his own as an exciting literary force to reckon with. 'The Tenth Cycle' is deeply suspenseful, and right at the get-go, grabs you by the cuffs and compels you to keep turning the pages--and that doesn't even begin to describe what a deliriously entertaining book this is.

At its heart is a conspiracy: a secret about mankind that--if and when revealed--will radically change not only the way men live and think, but also about how they'd regard their future. The secret is zealously guarded by shadowy characters and organizations that put the lives of the two protagonists, Dan Rossler and Sarah Clarke, in grave peril. When academic ridicule intensifies into outright hostility and possibly fatal threats, that's when Dan and Sarah know they're onto something ground-breaking. But then there's the rub--the forces guarding the secret will stop at nothing to guard it and keep it from discovery.

C'est Moi Amazon Reviewer - Definite MUST READ!!! This book is fascinating, keeps you guessing and is truly a work of art! 10 STARS!!! This book is absolutely awesome!! It's complex, but not difficult to keep up with, the characters are three-dimensional, and the author makes you really care about them and feel as though you are part of their group. I truly did not want it to end. This is a book for everyone!

The mysteries discussed here are more than likely things you've wondered about yourself. I know I have!! Mr. Ryan really brought this tale to life and, form, it was like watching a fascinating movie that was over far too soon. I could visualize every single part! I was so involved in the story that, when I was unable to read, I was thinking about the book. I'm thrilled to have found this author and even more thrilled to see he has many more for me to dive into as soon as possible. The Ninth Cycle is already loaded and ready!

Even though I read this book through my Kindle Unlimited subscription, I just purchased it so I could keep it in my digital library to read again, at will. I would give this book 10 stars if they'd let me. I can't say enough how much I truly enjoyed the journey I took with the Rosslerites!!Thanks so much for such a wonderfully written, and well researched story, Mr.Ryan. There's not one thing about it that I would change!

I'm really looking forward to the next book, as it discusses the very controversial Piri Reis map of 1513, and the possible coast of Antarctica without Its icecap!!

PBBJR Amazon Reviewer - An excellent read and wonderfully crafted work, I quickly became addicted to the series. Mr. Ryan has created an entertaining thriller with lovable well developed characters and a fascinating subject matter. This is truly an intelligent thriller.

S Coyle - I absolutely loved this book. The characters are believable. It is one of the best books I have read in years!!!

Six thousand years and counting?

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a good book if you like ancient mysteries, especially involving long vanished civilizations and messages hidden in the Great Pyramid.

The characters are a bit stiff. Our hero Daniel is relentlessly noble; our heroine Sarah starts out as the scientific brain but soon dissolves into spending all her time gazing at Daniel with adoration. The villains display the usual curled lip and stunning stupidity of villains everywhere. It hardly matters. The breakneck plot will keep you hanging on to the edge of your tablet.

Every 26,000 years something destroys civilization. The tenth cycle has come and gone and we're at least 6,000 years into the eleventh. Can the secrets in the Great Pyramid save us? Stay tuned. This is the first book of a series.

Good, Not Great, But Recommended

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2015

I gave it four stars because it held my interest to the end; not stay-up-late-at-night interest, but enough to make me want to see where the story would wind up. The ending was a bit of a disappointment and made me believe that this novel was really just a lead-in to a barrage of sequels that would be sure to follow.

The story has a standard "the ancient Egyptians couldn't possibly have built the Great Pyramid (way too difficult!), so it must have been built by aliens from another galaxy" plotline. There's the requisite "Ancient Secret Society" that really runs the world (though no one seems to know it), intent on learning or preserving all the secrets the Pyramid has to offer; a naive hero (and, of course, a heroine) who has no idea of the trouble his investigations are getting him into; the usual mysterious deaths, CIA shenanigans, miraculous escapes from murderous kidnappers, an occasional deus ex machina to save the day,....about what you'd expect from this particular genre. But, the author is a pretty good writer and, as I mentioned above, he's able to to hold your interest in the story from beginning to end. Oh, and it turns out that aliens aren't involved. So, there'll be sequels for sure.

Not too heavy, not too slow or fast. I think you'll enjoy it. (BTW, if you're not familiar with Fibonacci sequences, you might want to Google the term beforehand.)

Tribute to the Pyramid Builders

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2017

J C Ryan is my new book buddy! Wow, I loved this book and will be reading the 2nd one starting today. I got it in 2014 and had not read it yet.
I love how Mr. Ryan brought up points that, I myself have wondered about for years. The explanation Modern Science gives for the Pyramids has never made sense to me since I have been an adult with a fascination for ancient history. Those "facts" make no sense to me. And yes, I am one of those people who believes that modern mankind has no idea of how advanced ancient civilizations were. We seem to believe we are at the pinnacle of knowledge. I don't believe so.

I loved the flow of the story line and I was hooked from page one all the way through! There were parts where I was actually yelling at the story because of my frustration.

As noted by other reviewers the only thing that I wish had been different was how much detail was given to Daniel and Sara's romantic relationship.

I read many kinds of romantic fiction and while Mr. Ryan's handling of their growing love affair was perfect,( no lewd language, no intimate details), I felt like Daniel's character was overly preoccupied with Sarah. I honestly thought this was a female writer trying to write from a man's romantic mindset without actually understanding how men view romance. I don't mean for that to be a sexist remark. But we know that how women view romance is far different than how men do.

All in all, I gave this 5 stars. It was highly entertaining, thought provoking and had an ending that I thought was very good. I loved it and I will be getting all of Mr. Ryan's books.

Could Civilizations Have Existed on this Planet Prior to our Own?

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

Could civilizations have existed on this planet prior to our own? Do they necessarily need to be extra-terrestrial? J. C. Ryan’s novel explores that question in a very entertaining way. The entire novel centers around prior machinations of human societies. The question begins with the Great Pyramid at Giza and the Sphynx. Could life cycles and intelligence achieve a point where they self-destruct?

Many languages have existed on this planet that are now extinct. Why would they have become extinct? How can the pyramids have been built without modern equipment and engineering methods? Some have theorized that the builders of these wonders utilized many slaves with no regard for lives. And yet some 20-ton cut blocks were lifted to staggering heights using ramps and human power? Hard to believe!

Ryan weaves this tale with stunning clarity and challenges the extremely wealthy groups and governments in the process. With great knowledge comes great responsibility and opportunity. Very powerful private organizations, as well as governments, attempt to obtain and control this information and the power and riches derived therefrom. Altruism intercedes in the form of the Rossler Foundation and its’ contributors. Ryan poses numerous questions.

What is a universal language that exists despite cultural and language differences? Mathematics! Could a message and history of another civilization be stored in the great pyramid? Could unraveling this language broaden our understanding of ourselves and our civilization.

Ratings appear all over the board for this narrative presenting an interesting premise and forceful arguments. I received a free download from BookBub and read and enjoyed the story of international intrigue, suspense, and technothriller. It is hard to put down! 4.5/5 stars CE Williams

that hooks you in pretty quickly. The characters are believable in their construction

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

This was a 'free' book which I literally just ticked to get.
Firstly its a very well put together novel, that hooks you in pretty quickly. The characters are believable in their construction, and whilst the 'concept' of the story is predicated around 'conspiracies, and secret societies', it is done so with an element of, that could happen.
The story flows, and through parts of it ,is a real page turner (which is my definition of a good book) with few 'dead spots'.
The only thing I find about this genre, is that follow up books tend to be a bi of a re-hash of the original story - that may be grossly unfair as I haven't actually read them, but have to say really, enjoyed this book.

Thrillers should be thrilling, this isn’t.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

I loved the sound of this book, the synopsis definitely had me intrigued but, just 46 tedious pages in, I’m giving up.

The amount of gushy pining the two main characters have done for each other in such a short space of time is a bit vomit inducing and there seems to be little sign of any story developing beyond their rather boring attraction to each other.

If you like romance novels perhaps this may be for you, if you like thrillers then it’s probably not.

Thriller?

Really don't like to give a bad review but......!! A decent idea but completely ruined by the ridiculous love story. Thought I was reading a Mills and Boon some of the time. The whole thing could've been shortened by 25%, in fact I was skip reading just to finish it. I'm afraid I won't be reading any more in this series. Saying that, I have enjoyed some of his other books featuring Carter Devereaux, shot himself in the foot with this drivel. Sorry

Turning history on it's head!!

From incredible research and brilliant writing comes this story. Pyramids, coded writings, secret societies, FBI, CIA, and most importantly, a good group of friends are intertwined in this thriller of good triumphing over evil.
Absolutely loved it and a worthwhile read where it is almost believable. Good movie material here as well

Needs a bit more proof reading...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 4, 2018

I finished the book and it was reasonably enjoyable but overall there were challenges. From using the wrong character's name in one section to some typos & poor grammar, it all had an impact on enjoyment.
I felt the characters were rather clichéd and this combined with the above is what has led to my rating.
