When Guy Hewson, a young professor of Egyptology, discovers a strange relic, he has no idea of the bizarre sequence of events that will follow. The importance of the unearthed antiquity becomes manifest when the professor is the target of an assassination attempt. He is saved by an old university friend, Justin Bloom, a man struggling to cope with the humdrum routine of his daily existence.

Justin is drawn into a scenario that's far removed from his regular family life in Norfolk. As the mystery deepens his integrity is tested by the reciprocated fascination he has for another woman, Abigail Shakespeare, who becomes involved.

Eventually, the incredible significance of the relic becomes apparent and a dark secret from humanity's past is uncovered. Whilst Professor Hewson attempts to stay one step ahead of the police and a murderous third party, it's down to Justin and Abigail to avert a reanimated danger threatening all of civilisation.

Human Secrets exemplifies a new category of credible science fiction that deals with the lives of a group of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. It is a tale of romance and adventure that questions mankind's place in the past, present and future.
