What if you're born during another time, grew up in the 21st century and then were thrust back into the past? Confused? So is architect, Evan Chronis.
Search for the Golden Serpent Servant of the Gods Volume 1 Luciana Cavallaro Books
In Luciana Cavallaro's Search for the Golden Serpent (Mythos Publications 2015), Evan Chronis (aka Evandros by the Greeks), a world-class architect, has built his business on a foundation of always finishing projects on time and on budget. When he is contacted by Zeus to save Mount Olympos (no spelling error), he thinks someone is playing games with him. When he passes out and wakes up almost twenty-five hundred years in the past, a time when the Olympian gods ruled, he is sure he's being fooled with. He argues and rants with the being who calls himself Zeus but finally has no choice but to accept that this creature has the ability to reach across time and force him to do his will. Zeus will not return Evan to his modern world until he finds a mythical relic that, when united with several other pieces, will save the gods. Zeus also drops a bombshell on everything Evan thought he knew about his life.Evan finally agrees and sets off with four others on a journey that takes them throughout the ancient world, authentically through the towns and seaports, deep into the cultural norms of people now long gone. As we travel with Evan, we live the Greek myths that to modern man are simply folklore. Every scene rings with truth as though the author was there. All the while, I was thinking, "Why can't it be me rather than Evandros?" And be prepared for a big surprise at the end of the book.
This is highly recommended to anyone who loves learning about life in Ancient Greece and the part played by the gods in Greek lives. You can't experience this any more real than what Cavallaro reveals.
This is part of a trilogy. I’ve already bought the next, Labyrinthine Journey.

Search for the Golden Serpent Servant of the Gods Volume 1 Luciana Cavallaro Books Reviews
I received a free copy of Search for the Golden Serpent by Luciana Cavallaro and voluntarily chose to review it. I studied classics in college and thus enjoyed this book for its historical accuracy, with the major exception of Atlantis. The conceit of a twenty-first-century man, Evan (Evandros), striving to cope with the ancient world probably helped ground the story for those not familiar with the various settings in the story. Having Evan and his companions on the quest be from Atlantis allows them to experience the ancient Mediterranean with fresh eyes. Even though they are all children of gods, they are not omnipotent and mostly just have the power to call on their progenitors. Their experiences feel realistic and mythic at the same time. While this book is the first of Evan’s adventures, it does complete one phase of the quest and does not end in a cliffhanger. Although the reader will wonder if Evan returns to the twenty-first century after completing the task set him by Zeus.
This book introduces you to Evan Chronis, architect. He has strange and suffocating dreams - way too realistic for comfort. And how does he get his life back?
With Search for the Golden Serpent, Luciana Cavallaro has created a well-crafted suspense story that takes a modern architect into the past and/or mythology - against his will. It is a very compelling read that draws you close to Evan and his quest. Luciana Cavallaro introduces the characters with care, integrating them in the plot, you want to find a possibility to help Evan reach his goal. Evan is believable, determined, and has a strong sense of justice. As the journey begins, the story reaches a steady yet fast-paced flow. Be prepared for some complex characters, surprising events and revelations, and for an adventurous journey into Greek mythology. The author's passion for history and writing shows - I had a great time reading. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
This is a book for you if you like mythology, fantasy stories with believable characters, and if you appreciate excellent story-telling.
Highly recommended.
I just barely got settled onto my reading chaise for the evening & started reading a few pages of Luciana's first chapter when I perked up instead of relaxing further, because Luciana definitely doesn't skimp on historical or visual details wherever she can input them to further aid the reader's immersion into her creative body of work.
You get to know each & every character on a personal level, yet not enough to out-guess them, or know their every thoughts. There's still enough wonder & mystery to make you worry who's going to stick around, do the right thing, do the wrong thing, or maybe bail. Humanity is still always unpredictable.
The quest is a great adventure fraught with danger & the unknown; you have a group of characters who don't all get along of course, with different personality types & a few secrets; ancient gods of many different lands & beliefs & even era's, so a lot of history; and of course along with the good gods we have the bad gods who don't want this band of humans to succeed on their quest...
Luciana Cavallaro must have spent a large amount of time gathering her data & notes just on her various historical portions of her book. That factor alone I say Bravo! Bravo! But all that historical detail written into the story while keeping me riveted to every page till the end...that's an amazing book! I absolutely recommend it to anyone else who might be thinking about reading it. I can't wait to continue the rest of the journey with Evandros & friends!
