Secret Earth Inception, Book 1, (Paperback)

What if there is a man alive today who has walked the Earth for two thousand years, and the fate of our world depends on the secrets he carries?

Lazarus of Bethany never sought a life of danger, impossible challenges, or cosmic responsibility. As a prosperous caravan master in AD 33, his greatest worries were bandits and desert storms. That all changed the day a deadly asp struck him down. In his final moments, he was cradled with love in the arms of his beloved wife, Hannah, yet death was only the beginning. Five days later, Yeshua of Nazareth raised him from the tomb, fully alive, in a miracle still spoken of in awe two millennia later.

During those five days, while his body lay lifeless in a rock-hewn tomb, Lazarus's spirit wandered through the wonders of the afterlife. Guided by his grandfather Bityah, who now appeared younger than Lazarus himself, he glimpsed realms beyond imagination. It was awe-inspiring and fleeting, as Yeshua soon called him back to life. Though legendary enough for any man, those events marked only the beginning of his extraordinary journey, as he was soon called to meet a destiny far greater than anything he had imagined.

After experiencing death, the afterlife, and resurrection, returning to ordinary life felt hollow. A simple trip to Beersheba to settle accounts and inventory a warehouse, reminded him of routines he once loved, but which now seemed dreary. Everything changed when he returned home to grief-stricken women and the news he had dreaded: Yeshua had been crucified. He had warned them this day was coming, but foreknowledge did not ease the pain as his sister Martha recounted the horrors of the crucifixion,

Then came the moment when Lazarus realized his world had far more secrets than death, the afterlife, and resurrection had revealed.

Yeshua's wife, his sister Miriam, no longer arrived by roads or through gates. She appeared where walls should have barred her, vanished mid-embrace, and spoke calmly of dangers she no longer feared. Romans whispered she was a witch. The Sanhedrin feared her. The apostles called her the Angel of the Covenant. Lazarus had known her all his life and no longer knew which truth unsettled him most.

When Lazarus witnessed gateways of living light open through solid stone, cities taller than forests rise beneath twin suns, and travelers return from journeys that for them took days, though only an hour had passed, he could no longer pretend he was merely an observer. He had tasted death. He had crossed beyond time. Now he stood at the threshold of something far greater, where belief shaped reality and hesitation could leave him stranded between worlds.

Miriam revealed that the laws governing time, distance, power, even life and death, were illusions. There were worlds beyond Earth, realms between moments, and paths crossed in a breath, or stretched into days, while only minutes passed behind them. Some travelers were called Adepts, others Guardians; all were Time Walkers. Lazarus, whether prepared or not, was being drawn into their ranks.

This was not a calling he sought. It was a destiny already in motion.

This is the moment the legend was born.
This is the truth the world was never told.

This is Inception, the explosive first book in the Secret Earth series, where covert immortals, hidden knowledge, and unimaginable threats from both our world and beyond converge to reshape everything we thought we knew about Earth's destiny.

History records the outcome. But the unseen actions, sacrifices, and hidden forces that made it possible have remained buried for millennia... until now.
