Only Coercion and a beautiful government agent could force Archaeologist Harry Thursday out of retirement. This time to find the mythical mask worn by the Minotaur over three thousand years ago. A mask worth millions, a mask that kills any who possess it, a mask that might just have started WWII. What would make a retired, independently wealthy archaeologist want to leave the comforts of his retreat in Costa Rica, join forces with an accountant from the Bureau of Audits and Reclamation, and fly to Europe in search of a mysterious relic with no foundation in reality, all while being chased by nefarious killers from a secret society older than Herodotus? Well, for starters, the accountant is persuasive and, oh yes-she's a knock-out. Harry Thursday has been in trouble before in Walton's first novel, Fatal Snow. Now THE MASK OF MINOS takes the reader through an allegoric story retelling Theseus' journey to becoming the ruler of Greece. Along that path, he is plagued by enemies and finally battles the son of Zeus, ruler of Crete, father of the Minotaur-half-man, half-bull. With the aid of his patron god Poseidon, Theseus brings down the once mighty kingdom in a fiery earthquake, freeing all from its oppressive dominance. And so Harry Thursday battles the secret society known to only a few as the Hyperboreans in his attempt to find-and keep them from finding-the powerful mythical mask. This page-turner will keep the readers on their toes through to the end. For readers, who are already fans of Harry Thursday, this will quench their thirst for adventure and his quirky attitude. -- Serious Reading Magazine

The goddess weeps for me. She places the golden mask on my face as her glittering tears fall like fluttering rose petals through air that trembles with light. Her eyes are fixed upon the golden mask. The mask shines, ornamenting the grim contours of my loveless visage. Moments ago, Clytemnestra drove daggers through me. Her murderous eyes fell upon the merciless stream of blood coursing through the now-uninhabited citadel of my body. The sight of the sacrificed Iphigenia was still emblazoned on her grieving mind. My wife watched as my life flooded out me, and I slowly felt myself being swept by a dark tide into the underworld. I felt a golden world slip away, and all that is left of it is the mask that now covers my lifeless face. I was told that the mask would allow my face to remain untouched while the rest of my body decomposed. I was told that a thousand years from now, someone will remove the mask and marvel at the immortal complexion underneath. The goddess continues to weep for me as everyone else has ceased to pour wordless whispers of longing upon my empty throne. The mask blissfully seared into my flesh and began its act of preserving my features so that they would live on. Destiny wears a mask, and now it will reveal its visage to me. It removes its mask as it stands before. I am young again, but this time I am wearing the golden mask. I realize that destiny will show its face to me as my face remains hidden behind gold. Moments ago, destiny entered the throne room with a shroud. My mask allowed me to see each movement destiny made. I wonder whether things will be different now. I already know everything that will transpire in the future: the abduction of Helen, the sacrifice of Iphigenia, the siege of Troy, the death of Achilles, and my own murder at the hands of Clytemnestra. I wonder whether I can prevent my daughter from being needlessly sacrificed. I wonder whether the voices of the gods will no longer push me to the brink of madness. Now, destiny holds its mask. The moment I look into its eyes, I know that everything that happened will happen again. I am wearing the mask now because I will wear it during my funeral. It is, after all, a funeral mask. Everything will happen as before because whether destiny is masked and unmasked is of no consequence to me anymore. Death has already come, for destiny spoke it.
