A DEAD RECKONING CREW ADVENTURE • BOOK 1

A forgotten past.
A hidden fortune.
Some treasures are worth the hunt.

FIELD DOSSIER

The Investigative Trio

Complementary skills. Zero margin for error when decoding living history.

🧭

Ethan

Navigator & Map Nerd

Driven by dead-reckoning geometry and pre-flood topography. Ethan reads submerged riverways, 1930s survey plats, and hidden terrain features where modern maps run cold—preferably without setting foot on a boat.

📜

Maya

Podcast Host & Lead Investigator

The voice of the podcast, and the team's remaining common sense. Maya chases down fading oral histories, decodes primary sources, and turns scattered campfire myths into a real investigation.

🔧

Tyler

The Mechanic & Wrecking Crew

Fluent in pipe wrenches, salvage diving, and accidental demolition. Tyler handles anything with a motor or a fuse, navigates treacherous backcountry bluffs, and has a habit of blowing up electronics or collapsing nearby structures.
