“Dr Kipp has a way with words. His story, though fiction, follows real events and real science. The twisting story is gripping while the plot captivates and challenges the readers' intellect, all in a straight forward, easy-to-read manner. A must-read tale!” - Sean Mulroney, founder Teens of America, The Obesity Revolution and internet/social media sensation.
In The Secret of Rocks Hyraxes, Kipp Van Camp deftly explores the most unusual and unique terrain. It’s rare that a thriller both entertains and educates, but Rocks Hyraxex manages to do so, as Van Camp leads the reader through a harrowing adventure that spans a wide variety of subjects: archeology, science, biblical history, Iranian culture. Most memorably, The Secret of Rocks Hyraxes is a garden-fresh exploration of one man’s scientific conscience that will risk everything for love. - Joy Roulier Sawyer, author of Lifeguards and Tongues of Men and Angels; creative writing instructor at Lighthouse Writers Workshop in Denver.
"I always thought of myself as a master storyteller...until now. Kipp Van Camp takes us into a world of danger and hope. The unthinkable and the unfathomable...to the root of civilization and immortality. A plot that bores its way into your mind and won't let you put it down...." - Benjamin "Coach" Wade, The Dragon Slayer-Legendary 3 time contestant CBS Survivor, Actor, Professional Trumpet Player, Modern Symphonic Composer, Former D-1 Soccer Coach, and Artistic Director/Conductor Susanville Symphony.
The Secret of Rocks Hyraxes begins at an archaeological dig site in present-day Iran where the oldest recorded human, Methuselah, has been uncovered along with a reportedly indestructible rat species. Montgomery 'Monty' Palmer, a scientist researching a cure for his father's Alzheimer's, hypothesizes that the rats have been exposed to uranium, resulting in a mutation. If it's true, could the discovery help save his father?
Realizing the location in Iran is one of the places archaeologists have suggested as the birthplace of civilization, Monty develops a second theory. Not wanting to reveal his "out there" idea to the team of scientists, he keeps his thoughts to himself until the dig uncovers evidence that suggests his radical theory might be right. Instead of excitement, apolitical Professor Palmer is in the center of present-day Iran. Unexpected conflicts with the extreme terrorist group ISIS, ongoing strained US/Iran relationships, and enmity with the Iranian liaison, Singh Prokar; Monty finds he must spend more hours managing his eclectic team of scientists rather than focusing his valuable time on a cure for his failing father.
Dr. Kipp Van Camp, a physician and medical researcher with numerous papers and articles published in the medical journals and online, is also the author of dozens of short stories and two creative nonfiction books Always Allie (2011), and Misdiagnosis: A Practicing Physician’s Case Study on Healthcare Reform (2012). The Secret of Rocks Hyraxes is his first published novel and the first book in the series of thrillers featuring the adventures of the same main characters.
