An initially written successful novel by Daniel Easterman is entitled ‘The Jaguar Mask’. This book was released by HarperCollins in the year 2001. The plot features the lead characters in the form of Declan Carberry, Leo, and many others. Author Easterman has set the story in the center of a jungle in America. Declan Carberry is shown as the not so handsome hero, who indulges in a plot that brings out exotica, erotica, and the suspense of Formula One. Archaeologist is sent on his next assignment, which does not appear to be an ordinary one. He goes to the archaeological location, deep inside the Mexican jungle that uncovers the centuries old Mayan city. Leo and the members of his team carefully remove each of the crumbs with high precision, just like a surgeon who performs an intricate operation. On the other hand, Declan Carberry is in France to investigate and solve a series of ritualistic serial murders. He finds that all the murders are very horrific and wonders who would have committed such brutal crimes. Declan knows that he needs to act fast as not much time is left with him. He delves into the history of Maya and Conquistadors of South America to find some clues related to the murders. In the end, the story shows a vertiginous tale of netting and snaring, modern codes and old rituals, immortality and blood-letting. All these factors make this book an interesting read.
Another popular book written by author Easterman is called as ‘The Final Judgement’. It was released in 1997 by the HarperTorch publication, after it was originally published in 1996. The story of this book starts by showing that a teenage boy gets kidnapped. His family is demanded an outrageously huge ransom from the kidnappers. In desperation, the father of the young boy decides to call his brother-in-law to help get his son back. The estranged brother-in-law, Yosef Abuhatseira appears to the perfect man to carry out this job. He is a patriot from Israel, who is a born hunter and a one man army possessing many survival skills. In spite of all these skills and qualities, Yosef is not able to prepare himself for the surprises that this rescue mission has for him. Later, it is found that the kidnapping was just a beginning. A series of murders that follow very soon make Yosef Abuhatseira realize that the killer is murdering all the Auschwitz survivors. Yosef feels the need to penetrate into the strong walls of secrecy surrounding the organization before someone else’s life is taken by it. The story brings a lot of surprises for the readers. Yosef Abuhatseira is shown going on with a nail biting adventure in this intriguing plot.

I picked up “The Ninth Budha” at a library book sale several years ago and got hooked on your novels. I live in the U.S. and have had a hard time finding some of your books. Currently, I’m on vacation to the UK and have managed to find a couple of your books that I haven’t read. I’m somewhat interested in the world’s religions and have a hard time rationalizing how people have distorted those religions’ primary messages.I’m very apprehensive of what will happen during and after the next U.S. presidential elections and will be doing everything I can to make sure that a certain former president does not get elected. I just ordered “The Judas Testament” and spent 3 times more on shipping than the book itself. I’m currently reading “The Sword”. Thank you for your novels.
Denis: Write more fiction books! I’m an Arabophile and miss your historic connections to great fiction stories!! Otherwise, tell me in 100 words how I can write like you (I am a journalist, age 75) in regards to research (my start would be Europa’s “Middle East and North Africa, but can’t afford it! I am not an academic!
