Not All Myths or Their Creators Die.

​

Not all myths or their creators die. On his last trip to Zimbabwe's enigmatic Chinhoyi Caves, Stan Rowland swallowed diamonds from The Sleeping Pool. They are not ordinary stones. The tribe who owns them await his return. They are not ordinary people. Tony of Spymaster wants them. He is not an ordinary thief. Stan must take them back or perish. The legendary pool pulls him back into its depths and sends his twin brother Shaun rushing after him. It ensnares them in a perilous battle of wills. If they don’t learn all its secrets, it will destroy everything they cherish.

Facts and Figures

 

The Sleeping Pool is a deep pond of blue waters at the bottom of a sunken carven whose bottom no living man has yet reached. It is the most interesting part of The Chinhoyi Caves, a popular tourist destination in Zimbabwe. The Chinhoyi Caves are in Chinhoyi, which is a hundred and twenty kilometres from Harare, the Zimbabwean capital city. The waters of the pond never change their levels, even in the worst drought. The temperatures never change, always at twenty two degrees Celsius - even in the worst winter. It is believed the pool is a part of a larger water body whose identity has yet to be established. Many tunnels penetrate the pool’s forbidding walls but they all lead back to the pool.

 

The Sleeping Pool is a popular site for deep diving and cave diving. The Zimbabwe Sub-Aqua Speleological Research Group at one time estimated the pool to be between seventy to eighty meters deep. The South African Normalia Underwater Club reached a depth of one hundred and thirty five meters. A team of United States of America Navy divers estimated the depth of the pool to be about one hundred and seventy meters. The Inter-nations Chinhoyi Caves Expedition team in June 2013 dived to one hundred and ninety one meters into the unknown depths and have concluded the end is not in sight yet. It might never be.
