Press Release Summary: ADVENTURE BOOK TAKES READERS ON A GLOBAL TREASURE HUNT

Press Release Body: (SEATTLE, WA)-A combination of National Treasure and Indiana
Jones, Gary Garner's new book, Through the Eyes of Madness, is an incredible yet
bizarre tale of one man's journey across the planet.

Throughout his travels, Garner encrypted his personal journals with artistic and
mathematical codes that will lead readers to physical clues he has hidden on each of
the seven continents. For readers who are able to decipher the codes, Garner offers
the adventure of a lifetime, and the chance to discover what he has placed just out
of reach.

For the past five years, Garner has literally been homeless and jobless, and more or
less without material possessions. While roaming each of the seven continents in
search of a simpler life, he experienced:
. Witnessing a brutal murder on the South China Sea
. The wrath of an angry mob in the midst of a Nepalese civil war
. His own near death experience at the heights of Mt. Everest
. Being ambushed and robbed in Costa Rica by very unusual suspects
. Countless other harrowing escapes that illustrate valuable and moving life lessons

Fortunately, readers get to go along for the ride, as Garner kept countless journals
and notes, and crafted amazing artwork along the way. The author's modern adventure
tale is richly detailed with scores of photos and illustrations. From beginning to
end, Through the Eyes of Madness is laced with a visual and mathematical secret
code-but unlike its fictional cousins, such as The Da Vinci Code, this book's secret
is very real.

"Once people uncover the hidden elements in the book, they can go online and unlock
the cryptic stones on my Website," says Garner. "When readers are able to unlock a
stone, they will unearth new clues hidden in various forms of media, which will
eventually point to physical clues I've planted throughout the world. It will take a
community of extremely motivated, intelligent and pure-hearted people from around
the world, working together, to find what I have hidden. Someday, I am sure my
secret will be discovered."

He adds, "These past few years have been so fantastical and life-altering that even
I have trouble believing it. But that's why I kept the journals and constructed the
book in the way that I did. Now, others can share in the adventure."

intriguing adventure book ever written", visit www.ThroughTheEyesOfMadness.com.
