“The Adventure of a Lifetime—Even at 70”

Life is full of surprises, and age doesn’t always dictate when or how those surprises come about. Imagine receiving a gift, a simple metal detector, at the age of 70. You might not expect much from it, other than the possibility of finding a few old coins or rusty tools. However, what if that metal detector led you to something extraordinary—something that would change the entire course of your life? It’s easy to assume that adventures are for the young, but Glenn W. Bean’s Tiala challenges that assumption, showing that the most life-changing discoveries can happen when you least expect them, no matter your age.

For Glenn, a retired man entering his seventies, the metal detector was a thoughtful birthday gift from his daughter, Beth. He didn’t expect it to do much beyond providing some light entertainment. But when Glenn sets out on an unassuming trip into the woods to test out his new toy, he is thrust into an adventure far beyond his imagination. As he wanders deeper into the forest, Glenn stumbles upon a hidden spaceship—an alien craft buried under layers of time and earth. His excitement grows as he realizes that this is no ordinary find. The ship is immaculate, with strange writing and technology that Glenn can barely comprehend.

From that moment, Glenn’s life is no longer ordinary. What began as a leisurely outing quickly turns into a thrilling journey of discovery, as he uncovers more about the ship and its mysterious occupant. Glenn’s curiosity and sense of wonder propel him forward, showing that even at 70, the desire for adventure and discovery can lead to incredible experiences.

Science fiction fans will find Tiala captivating for many reasons. The novel takes readers on an exhilarating ride as Glenn, an older yet vibrant main character, embarks on the adventure of a lifetime. It explores themes of curiosity, discovery, and the idea that the greatest adventures can happen when you least expect them—no matter your age. For anyone who believes that life’s most thrilling moments are still waiting to be disclosed, Tiala is the perfect read.
