MOSAIC CAVERNS: The Vivarium Chronicles

by Christopher Zyck, Susans Art (Illustrator)

Overview

MOSAIC CAVERNS is an adventure thriller guaranteed to engage all of your senses in examining the validity and meaning of the separation of Church and State.

Content is supported by the actual historical examples from the Inca Empire to the Conquistadors, to the Roman Catholic Empire, and many cultist groups through the years that have demonstrated the power of blind faith on the followers.

Conducted over generations by humans from any number of cultures, the myths and superstitions are central to the impact origin stories have on the human condition, most notably the conduct of war between nations.

Two archaeologists are heading a team to excavate Inca Empire tribal artifacts and discover the forces of an ancient God. They come face-to-face with the origin of human existence. The motives behind the conquests, destruction, and exploitation of the poor underscore the hierarchal social and economic class distinctions that plague the impoverished in the face of the freedoms allowed by the natural world.

Amidst the diplomatic and military mission named Plan Colombia initiated by the Clinton Administration in 1999, a fictional account of the United States Green Berets stepping up participation from a military support and advisement role for the Colombian Military is central. Taking on an active fighting force in an attempt to destroy cocaine production and cartel activity to eliminate the drug trade becomes secondary to the unveiling of the mysteries of Mosaic Caverns.

About the Author

is my second published book and is the prequel to my first published book THE GLASS PLANET.
I have a long-standing interest in the freedom of the press and the freedom of speech overall. I find it is important to use voice to discuss matters of the human condition and wellbeing from the standpoint of the masses who have always been neglected by the wealthiest and those amassing the power of industry.
With an eye on the future, there are many, too many to count possible pathways for human existence in structuring a civilization that is about the overall health of human generations and preparedness to succeed against the adversities that present themselves at our doorstep.
From the day-to-day trials and tribulations to the consequential moments that define our lives every so often, a focused effort by the human Earth community needs to be undertaken to develop a land-based infrastructure of eco-friendly green cities.
There are greater tasks to envision and set our minds to create a substantial functioning presence in cislunar space. Then the greater Solar system and the close examination of the nearest star systems such as Alpha Centauri, will continue to inspire innovations in travel with economic cooperation.

For me, books are a very personal experience shared with every reader with a unique connection to each. The content of a story is to inform and entertain by exploring the emotional inner life, experiencing feelings, and stimulating thought. Some of the stories of my life are included in my work, and the tragic scenes in MOSAIC CAVERNS are inspired by actual events. I strive for historical accuracy, and geographic and technological realities mixed in with the fictional characters and plot lines.
As a trained journalist, trained editor, an American and British literature minor, and a student of democracy, my recognition of the rarity of freedom and liberty and given the issues on our collective consciousness in present times, I’ve taken decades in preparation for the publishing of MOSAIC CAVERNS and THE GLASS PLANET in an examination of the forces that will determine our collective future.
