The Nan Madol Codex — Reid Harlan
Scroll

A 14,000-year-old blueprint.
A pattern hidden in the water.
One organization that won't let it surface.

The pattern was not in the stones.

It was in the water between them.

Former French intelligence officer Marc Renard ran the channels of Nan Madol — a 92-island complex in the Pacific that no one has ever been able to fully explain — through a pattern-matcher he had built for someone else.

He stopped before it finished.

It isn't a monument. It isn't a temple. It's an address book.

Not all of the addresses are on any map.

Six weeks later, 3 people on 3 continents read the same pattern. Two were told to bury it. One was told something else.

Their world ended. They left instructions. Two centuries of shadow organizations have made sure no one read them. This one is closing in to keep it that way.

The Nan Madol Codex is the first book in The Meridian Files — a science thriller series grounded in real science, real archaeology, and a mathematical anomaly the experts haven't explained yet.

Every structural detail about Nan Madol is drawn from published research.

The mathematical pattern is fiction.
The magnetic anomaly is not.

Reid Harlan builds his thrillers from real-world anomalies nobody has explained.

// 2 YEARS RESEARCH  ·  71 CHAPTERS  ·  5 FILES PLANNED

What if there's a reason no archaeologist will commit to an explanation?

That question drove two years of research into archaeology, underwater surveying, and the actual published literature on Pacific megalithic construction — before a single chapter was written.

Reid Harlan lives in Europe. The Nan Madol Codex is his first novel. He is not done with this question.

Lock it in.

The Field Recording attaches on signup. The Nan Madol Codex launches free for 3 days on Amazon — you'll be told the morning the window opens.
