Modern technology embedded in ancient geology. That is exactly what Barclay Havens has in his hands - a total enigma. Barclay Havens discovers there are those who will stop at nothing, including his death, to own the cylinder and its supposed mystical powers. He fumbles his way through the Amazon jungles of Brazil and the island of Principe. He discovers the world-renown TV evangelist, Reverend Aaron Thompson, has no qualms about using force and guns in his search to find The Garden of Eden and feels the cylinder is the answer. A Brazilian native introduces Barclay to the possibility of Pangaea and the supercontinent's existence. Even John, the mysterious man with an even more mysterious past, insists the cylinder has the power to rejuvenate a person, a unique fountain of youth. Hidden natives, hidden agendas and hidden secrets keep Barclay Havens on his toes while he treads a narrow path between the geology of Pangaea and the scriptures of the Bible. His knowledge, his faith and his scientific training are tested to keep him alive as he searches for the truth about the Cylinder of Time and Pangaea, Eden Lost.
