Rumors of foreign mercenaries being hired as deniable assets by the CIA to aid the persecuted were the motivation for our action-adventure novel The Dogon Initiative.
The rumors, incidentally, remain unproven, but one of us at least believes they could be more fact than rumor – despite the CIA’s, um, somewhat dubious reputation.
Book one in our series The Deniables, the storyline sees a group of foreign mercenaries hired as deniable assets by a newly formed humanitarian division of the CIA. They are tasked with saving Mali’s persecuted Dogon people from genocide. The operation must be carried out in stealth while journeying across some of West Africa’s most hostile terrain.
As if all that’s not enough, they are also instructed to help solve an ancient astronomical mystery linked to the pyramids of Egypt.
The novel highlights some of the many myths and theories surrounding the fascinating Dogon people. In particular, their unexplained knowledge of the invisible-to-the-eye Sirius B white dwarf star, the rings of Saturn and other heavenly bodies, and their rumored ancestral relationship to ancient Egyptians.
