    About this ebook

    Noah's Nickel 

    Archaeology couple Victoria Ventures and Tommy Garrison head to Asia to knock three worldwide Disney parks off their Bucket List. This third installment in the Under The Magic series begins in Kentucky where Tommy surprises Victoria with a day at the new tourist attraction—The Ark Adventure. This full-scale replica of Noah's Ark depicts the biblical tale of the Great Flood.

    After jetting across the Pacific Ocean, they arrive in Shanghai and check into the Toy Story Hotel. After a few days enjoying Shanghai Disneyland, they hike and camp in the nearby mountains. Thanks to Victoria's tendency for distractions by shiny objects, she finds a cave which leads them to the greatest archaeological find in a millennium.

      Prologue

      Noah steered the enormous wooden vessel as best he could. His family and animals were safe. They’d survived the Great Flood by building this enormous boat, ‘Thanks be to God.’

      The water receded substantially, and more land appeared on the horizon. He almost landed on Mount Ararat, but decided that he should hide his ark. He’d just tell any survivors that he landed it on Mount Ararat, if there were any others who survived the catastrophic flood.

      Another mountain appeared, and he steered the ark towards it.

      Noah smiled. An enormous hole appeared in the mountain—the entrance to a large cavern. He aimed the ark towards the giant hole and counted his blessings. No one would ever find his beloved ark here. The wind picked up and blew the ark straight towards the cave’s entrance.

      They floated into the cave. The ark’s roof barely cleared the entrance. It floated in the cave for days before the water receded.

      Noah and his family stepped foot on dry land for the first time in ages. He even knelt and kissed the ground. Now he’d repopulate the earth with more humans and animals. But first, he’d block the entrance to the cave so no one would ever find and destroy his precious ark.

      With the water now mostly receded, Noah studied the surrounding land and compared it to the maps he’d saved. Gasping, he realized they’d drifted thousands of miles from their homeland.

      He wasn’t sure exactly where he was, but he knew that he was somewhere in China.

      Chapter One

      W here are you taking me again? Victoria Ventures asked her handsome fiancé, Tommy Manchester Garrison. His straight, sandy-blond hair, sea-green eyes, and Scottish accent reminded her of younger Ewan McGregor.

      Why can’t you just be surprised? Tommy shook his head in frustration.

      He drove the rental car from Magnolia, Kentucky to...wherever Tommy’s imminent surprise took them. But ultimately, they’d catch their flight tomorrow from Louisville to Los Angeles, then on to Shanghai. They were about to scratch another Disney park off their Bucket List.

      Thanks for coming, by the way. Victoria referred to her Great-Grandmother’s funeral. She’d passed peacefully in her sleep at the age of 101.

      Tommy reached his hand across the center console of the rental car and squeezed Victoria’s hand. With a sympathetic tone he said, I’m sorry I never got to meet her when she was alive.

      She lived a long life. Her social life was better than mine. She’d stay up until midnight playing Spades with her neighbors. Victoria referred to Granny’s favorite card game. Snapping her fingers, she added, Her mind was still sharp as a tack.

      I’m glad we could change our flight to Los Angeles and still catch our International flight to Shanghai. With one trip, they’d planned to visit all three Disney parks in Asia—Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Tokyo.

      Me, too. But I feel so guilty about going to Disneyland a few days after Granny’s funeral, she sighed.

      I know. But you could use a vacation. And besides, from what you’ve told me about Granny, she would’ve wanted you to still go on this trip, Tommy rationalized.

      Chuckling, she said, You’re right. She was always on the ‘go.’ If you said ‘go’ she’d grab her purse without even knowing where she was going. Pausing, she turned to Tommy and asked, "Speaking of ‘go,’ can you at least give me a hint as to where we are going?"

      Fine, I’ll give you a hint. It’s three-hundred cubits long and costs forty dollars a person, he said with an irritated tone.
