AN EVIL WHICH REFUSES TO DIE!

Nash, also known by the moniker of the "Corsair", is hired to help explore a labyrinth of ancient traps and treasures. However, Nash didn't count on awakening an immortal being bent upon world domination. Can Nash unlock the mystery of the crypt, defeat the ingenious traps and simultaneously stop the evil imprisoned deep underground for millennia? Even if he can, will Nash escape the sinister maze, or will he die deep in the crypt, like so many others, trapped underground for all time?

The novella, CRYPTIC, is a supernatural story of “dungeon crawling” exploration which "built upon my darkest phobias while still delivering an exciting tale of adventure!"

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a gripping page turner all the way!

If you’re looking for action, you’ll definitely find it here. Cryptic is a mix of Indiana Jones with good mystery.
The book begins with Mister ‘Nash’ Corsair in full action, escaping from traps and giant spiders. When he finally runs away, he meets Mister Stromberg, the last member of the ‘Society of the Owl’, who hires him to unravel the secrets of a tomb.
As soon as they enter the tomb, Nash needs to decipher how to move on and reach the room of the tomb, with its scrolls and treasures. And most of all, how to get out of there alive.
Donaldson created interesting and very well-built characters, especially Nash, of course. He is engaging and singular at the same time. The author provides us with high doses of mystery and tension. It's a gripping page turner all the way.
