1938: A cave-expedition to the remote borders of China and Tibet unearths enigmatic discs that are believed to be of extraterrestrial origin.But their discovery is quickly squashed and erased from official records. The Cold War Era: The Americans are desperately looking for a Soviet scientist who can bring them up to speed on a top-secret Soviet find. 2015: Linguistics, Inc. unveils the Linguistics Band – a prosthesis for speech – and an enthralled human race laps up the revolutionary thought-to-speech communication technology. After his father is killed while trying to expose Linguistics’ ulterior diabolical intentions, Lance Michener wants to shut down the Linguistics network before the damage is total and irreversible. On a remote South Pacific island, Ivonne Prideux uncovers incredulous evidence of extraterrestrial contact with the indigenous people. In modern-day Egypt, an excavation of the ‘Heretic’s Tomb’ in the Valley of the Kings is purported to be an elaborate hoax. But could the two independent discoveries be linked? What is the secret message of the heretic scribe? Everything points to the mythical Book of Thoth – the Book of Wisdom of the Gods, a gift from the gods, which allegedly contains the blueprint for languages of the past, present and future. If Linguistics gets hold of the ‘Book’, its secrets will be wielded for total control. The race is on… and the fate of the human race is in the balance.

It was so foggy that they couldn't pick out any lights on shore. They just had the sinister moaning of the foghorn to guide them. Tom had never been to sea in such conditions and he realised that they were in treacherous waters where the tides ran at fantastic rates. They might be swept onto some outlying rocks at any minute. He suddenly realised the enormity of the job he had undertaken. He was the captain of a strange boat in perilous unknown waters...he thought about his father. What would he do in these conditions? He hoped the others didn't realise the panic he was in...it had been his decision to take the boat and it was up to him to bring it safely back to harbour...they were all relying on him...if only he could keep his head and concentrate, they would be all right. He had always wanted to be in charge of his own yacht, now was his chance. He had to get the Pintail safely back to harbour.

Although Near Eastern languages and the history of the exact sciences are known for being obscure and deliberately arcane to general audiences, Alice Slotsky has paradoxically established her legacy by exposing these topics to a wider audience. As a visiting professor at Brown University, Slotsky has taught more students than any previous Assyriologist and successfully brought this discipline to a wider audience than previously imagined possible. This volume, with articles written by former students, as well as colleagues, pays tribute to her broad interests.
