Pursued by mysterious forces that will stop at nothing to keep him from revealing the truth, Rick must follow in the footsteps of previous seekers and finds himself in a fight for his life in his quest to expose potentially the greatest cover-up in human history.”

During the event, Weimer will meet readers and sign his book while light refreshments are served.

The second event will take place at 5 p.m. on Jan. 19 at Alabaster’s Siluria Brewing Company, and will feature “Anna A PARADOX Story” by E.G. Rowley.
