“Add Wilson to that select few (…Stephen King, Dean Koontz,
Peter Straub) whose work I’ll read whatever the genre!”
- Fantasy Review

     In the great tradition of H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, H. Rider Haggard, and Stpehen King, comes this new, fast-paced, page-turning fantasy thriller The Fifth Harmonic. From the bestselling author of the Repairman Jack series comes a breakthrough novel that is sure to please both diehard fans and newcomers to Wilson’s spellbinding storytelling. When Wilson’s latest hero, Dr. Will Burleigh discovers that he has terminal throat cancer, his only obvious option seems to be to get his affairs in order and say goodbye to his loved ones. But at the urging of one of his own patients, he sees a shamanic healer a dark and beautiful woman who tells him more about himself than even he is willing to recognize.

     What follows next is a tale of adventure as Maya, the mysterious healer, and Will journey to Meso-America in search of salvation, but there are obstacles along the way including Will’s painful and rapidly spreading tumor. As Maya’s secrets begin to unravel deep in the jungles of Central America, Will begins to fear he might have made a terrible mistake and must find the strength to face his own mortality one way or another.

     F. Paul Wilson is the author of more than twenty-five books including five science fiction novels, eight horror thrillers, and three contemporary thrillers, most notably, the Repairman Jack series. Over six million copies of his books are in print in the US and his work has been translated into twenty-four languages. He has won two Prometheus Awards and his books have been nominated for the World Fantasy Award; The Nebula Award; and the Bram Stoker Award.
