(PRWEB) April 21, 2004 --Author Glenn Haertlein announces the release of his debut novel "Secret of the Circle." Described by the author as a Christian Adventure novel, Secret of the Circle" couples an historical fiction opening with a captivating adventure story line. Parts of the novel take place in the Upstate of South Carolina as well as in Massachusetts, not to mention a faraway island in the Pacific.
Haunted by feelings of doubt and emptiness, Dr. James Schortz has spent his life looking for answers. When his friend and mentor, Dr. Houston Brada, asks him to take part in a special research voyage, Jim accepts in the hopes of finding the ultimate answer on the other side of his next discovery. He soon discovers that not everything is as it appears. Dr. Brada is part of an organization called "The Circle," and Jim's research project, far from routine, places him at the center of a long-standing conflict between two huge corporations: one secretive, the other ruthless. At stake is a rare tropical fruit that is a veritable fountain of youth. The first to harness its powers becomes owner of a major medical breakthrough and a pharmaceutical goldmine. A miscalculation in its formulation, and that same fountain of youth can become a dangerous biochemical weapon. The secrets are enough to kill for, and Jim must risk not only his own life, but the lives of his family in order to keep the secrets safe.
Amidst this turmoil, Jim struggles with his own personal conflict. Research and discovery are exhilarating, but the joy is fleeting. Jim finds he is in search of more than a fountain of youth. He is in search of an answer to life itself.
