Publisher Description

Steve Berry's first ever eBook original finds an adventurer in a strange and forbidding land, in search of a long lost treasure, and very much in harm's way.  As a favor to enigmatic billionaire Henrik Thorvaldsen, Cassiopeia Vitt treks into Bulgaria's Rila mountains in search of a buried stash of exceedingly rare artifacts from a bygone civilization: the ancient tomb of a Thracian king. But when her presence is discovered by a shadowy group of Russians secretly mining the area, she needs a way out. Who to trust becomes the question, and her life depends on choosing the right option.

    " I think this just should have been a prologue, it was too short to stand on it's own! "

    " I really enjoyed The Emperor's Tomb, and was aware that this was a story. It is really a short, short story. I wish it had been a little longer. "

    " Very Short book. That being said it's a great book none the less, I can't wait for a future book to tie into this one more. "

    " Boy, that was a waste. Love Steve Berry but $1.50 for a short story as short as this was a little hard to swallow. Should have just put this at the beginning of The Emporer's Tomb. Have to say though . . . this was my first read on my new Kindle and it works really well. "

    " Almost too short a story about Cassiopeia Vitt. This story is supposed to be a prequel to The Emperor's Tomb. Cassiopeia Vitt is one of my favorite characters in the Cotton Malone series. The short segment of The Emperor's Tomb included in this story raises some interesting questions. "

    " It was okay. Just a short prequel to his new book, The Emperor's Tomb. Don't waste your money on downloading it. Half of the book was the first chapter for the new novel. "

    " Had me anticipating the next Steve Berry novel; however, the length of this "short story" is disappointing. If it's meant to be a prequel, just add it to the beginning of the book! "

    " Love Steve Berry but this book needed to be longer. I see he calls it a prequel. Wish I had known that going in. 20 pages was a real letdown. "
