Publisher's summary

They thought Orkney’s standing stones studied the heavens. It never occurred to anyone, the heavens might be studying us.

Magazine editor and part-time archaeologist, Gill McArdle is getting it together. Or at least, he thinks he is, until the death of a friend throws his life into turmoil. He’s on Orkney, researching an elaborate stone carrying an ancient religious motif. But he’s perplexed as the carving long predates any previous incidence of the symbol’s first use. Either someone is tampering with Orcadian archaeology, or Gill is facing a puzzle that can’t be resolved. Complicating his investigations, a secretive teenager passes Gill a notebook, packed full of numbers. At first, unexplained and impenetrable, the analysis starts to point to a mystery among the stars. As Gill battles to unlock the truth he realizes he’s on the cusp of his most startling discovery yet.

Great book

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The storyline was great. Tormod Cockburn does a great job having the perfect supernatural:science ratio in this book. Can’t wait for the next one to come out on audible.

The Stones

As all great stories go, having a base as strong as stone circle is just the best I am excited with each continuation of the story line, the lives coming and going. Nothing is missed, everyone is part of my life now. New characters introduced are of no surprise, because they fit right there. Oh, how I hope to be able to listen to the continuation of their lives soon. Well done.

When I thought I had things figured out the mystery deepened… Also enjoyed listening to the reader - perfect for this series~

I thoroughly enjoyed all three books, but this one is my favorite. I love the threads weaving amongst all three. When I thought I had things figured out, the mystery deepened. I enjoy the archeological and mystical aspects of all three books as well as the scientific aspects. I learned something new in each book. I can relate to Gill on many levels as I’m sure others do. The reader is perfect. The story is very well written and properly edited. Hopefully there will be more books in the future.
