A Taoist monk sets out to steal holy relics which are at the center of a cold and evil ransom plot against the world's largest religions. Gabe Turpin, a Buddhist monk, a Muslim Mullah and a Catholic Priest must find a way to derail an act that could destroy the faith of billions. Prophets Reborn takes the reader deep into the martial-arts culture of Japan and into the even more arcane world of Esoteric Buddhism, its ceremony, temples and monasteries. Prophets Reborn poses big questions to readers, and is a thriller with a strong philosophical backbone.

What others say . . . "Gabelhouse has written a real page-turner, to be sure. But that is just half of it. Intertwined with the suspense, the adventures, and the sense of Africa, are themes of the mystical, the metaphysical, the unknown--the unknowable. This adventure book is a success both by the normal standards of a thriller, and more so by its penetrations into the world of the ultimate mysteries, the final adventures, the spirit dreaming itself back into life, in the land of the Mau-Mau Oath Giver, the Dream Walker. It is the combination of story and insight that raises this book from a well-wrought thriller to the level of distinguished literature." --John Stevens Berry, for the Lincoln Journal Star
"In Dreams of the N'dorobo, Gary Gabelhouse has written a two-fisted novel that's part Indiana Jones-style adventure and part sensitive anthropological appreciation of another culture. The novel teems with magic and murder, with CIA agents, petty thugs, and the majesty and squalor of life. The action is fast and furious. In addition to being a good adventure story, Dreams of the N'dorobo is also a book with a message . . ." --Brent Spencer, for the NCB News
"Dreams of the N'dorobo is an intriguing and unusual first novel . . . Gabelhouse's classic plot of good versus evil deftly showcases African mysticism in a clash with contemporary culture, set against a background of fear, poverty, beauty and sudden death." --Ray Walsh, for the Lansing State Journal
