Publisher Description

Experience a blend of history, exotic locales, and unparalleled action

“Dear Albert, Nicola was right.” The opening lines of a letter lost long ago is the answer to a question no one ever thought to ask, a question that could well reshape the future of the United States as a world power.

Seventy years ago, Chester Bowie, a genius driven to madness, unlocked the mystery of how a weapon of unimaginable lethality allowed one man and his small army to conquer so much of the ancient world. The secret, however, died with Bowie in a fiery disaster that was no accident. Yet a series of cryptic clues were left behind, clues that geologist, and sometime government operative, Philip Mercer must follow if he is to prevent terrorists from unleashing the weapon on today’s world.

On the front lines of an African civil war, a chance meeting between Mercer and Cali Stowe, a researcher for the Centers for Disease Control, propels the two of them into the epicenter of the greatest act of terrorism ever conceived. Each time they meet the bloodshed grows worse while the mystery deepens. Nobody is who they seem. Nobody.

"It was a great story, one of his best. Rousing Mercer and Co. adventure, and people you really care about. He has a nice way of delineating his characters in swift strokes that bring out their essence, but don't create a complicated backstory. To get that, you have to read each book as it is dribbled out. Engaging heroine, and as I have said before, you learn so much about things you didn't know. This one is complex, with places all over the globe, and a mysterious thing that dates back to Alexander the Great. Fast action, good fun, and a ride through some very interesting places. Good strong villain, and one that seemingly can't be beaten or killed."

    " 4.5. A really good and compelling action/adventure novel. Most of it was a little "James Bondish" and improbable, but I liked it and the characters anyway. Will read more by this author. "

    " This one was good, but maybe a bit too similar to his other novels. Great premise but some of the action is too abrupt. Mercer is a great character and the peripheral characters are well thought out and interesting. I loved using Eisenstein and Tesla and the correlation with Homer's Odyssey. "

    " I made it half way through and had to stop. This is a man's book. It has tedious detail on each disaster, on espionage, on nuclear weapons. The information about the Hindenburg was interesting,although I dont' know if it was true. "

    " I thought this book was slow moving, difficult to follow at times, and unbelievable. It really doesn't measure up to other books from it's genre. Pick up something more interesting and read Steve Barry, Dan Brown, or James Rollins instead. "
