The Four Myths by Robert Reisler is an intricate blend
of speculative fiction, historical myth, and philosophical inquiry, a tale with
unforgettable characters and unexpected plot twists. Jack Johanssen is an
archaeologist who prefers to work at night, away from the distractions that
come with people. Randy Haverstamp is the security guard who gets curious about
Jack’s archaeological work. Jack and Randy discover an ancient scroll from the
1876 Battle of Little Bighorn. This scroll contains encrypted texts that
suggest a connection to supernatural powers and hidden truths about human
existence. Byron Henning is a boy with the gift for prophecy, and his
connection to the scroll creates an even disturbing plot element. As they
decipher the scrolls’ cryptic messages, they understand it is a message from a
future time that details how the world will end and how to stop it. But can
they handle the forces unleashed by the scroll?
Robert Reisler presents characters that are sophisticated
and lovable, navigating a world filled with mystery, uncertainty, and dangerous
forces at play. Jack is a reserved and esteemed archaeologist with a sharp
mind. Randy is depicted as imbued with unusual curiosity and eagerness. Then
there is Sarah Dubois, an enigmatic woman with a twin born two decades later
and mysterious links to ancient Egypt. Byron Henning is a boy with prophetic
visions, serving as a conduit to explore themes of time, mortality, and the
power of myth. Reisler writes in crisp prose, offering stunning descriptions of
locales and scenes that are focused. The setting is finely drawn, and I felt
like I was part of the landscapes; whether describing a warehouse or places
that evoke a sense of the mystical, the author succeeds in creating imagery
that excites the imagination. The Four Myths features superior
storytelling and intelligently explores the question: Can humanity outlive its
fate? The novel compels you to think about myth, humanity, and mortality. This
one is unpredictable, well-paced, and thought-provoking.
