The Babel Trilogy begins with The Fire Seekers (2014), in which a teenager’s archaeologist father disappears during a dig connected to ancient languages that may hold dangerous power. Ghosts in the Machine (2016) and Infinity’s Illusion (2018) continue the story as the threat grows from personal to global.
The series mixes real-world archaeology and linguistics with speculative fiction elements. Richard Farr builds a mythology around the idea that ancient languages contain secrets that could reshape or destroy the modern world.
