Publisher Description
The tomb of China’s First Emperor, guarded by an underground army of terra-cotta warriors, has remained sealed for more than 2,000 years. Though it’s regarded as one of the greatest archaeological sites in the world, the Chinese government won’t allow anyone to open it. Why? That question is at the heart of a dilemma faced by former Justice Department operative Cotton Malone, whose life is shattered when he receives an anonymous note carrying an unfamiliar Web address. Logging on, he sees Cassiopeia Vitt, a woman who’s saved his life more than once, being tortured at the hands of a mysterious man who has a single demand: Bring me the artifact she’s asked you to keep safe. The only problem is, Malone doesn’t have a clue what the man is talking about, since Cassiopeia has left nothing with him. So begins Malone’s most harrowing adventure to date—one that offers up astounding historical revelations, pits him against a ruthless ancient brotherhood, and sends him from Denmark to Belgium to Vietnam then on to China, a vast and mysterious land where danger lurks at every turn.

"I really enjoyed reading about the history of China and about how prolific they were as well as being so far advance with there technology. Though I like the Cotton Malone character, I wasn't that impressed with the story itself... "

— Sandra, 11/20/2013 -
" This was an okay book. The plot is getting a little repetitive and this book was just a "long" read for me. "
— Shelby, 11/15/2013 -
" I enjoyed the story but found it somewhat confusing. I did enjoy the Chinese history in this book. Having been there and having seen The Terra Cotta warriors made the story seem very real to me. "
— Madeline, 8/16/2013 -
" I liked the book. It was a little slow in parts but good. I wondered how they could possible get out alive in all those SITUATIONS? "
— Margene, 5/20/2013 -
" Enjoyed the history of China throughout the book; the usual action and middling character development. "
— Andrew, 10/8/2012 -
" Disappointed. Don't get me wrong, still a fine book... just not up uto Steve Berry's best. The most annoying thing was that the bridge scene in this book was the EXACT same as the one in The Balkan Escape (e-reader short story). Funny though, neither character got deja-vu. "
— Bianca, 10/5/2012 -

— Faith, 7/27/2012 -
" Not one of my fav Steve Berrys. Not as easy a read as some of his others, either - lots of details about Chinese history. Interesting POVs about Tian'anmen Square though. "
— Jennifer, 5/29/2012 -
" Great book with a lot of history of China. "
— Kathy, 5/27/2012 -
" This novel didn't grip me the same way that some of his others have, which is a disappointment since -- up till now -- I think I've liked each Cotton Molone novel more than the previous one. Still, it's fairly entertaining and moves along at a good pace. It just isn't anything special. "
— Charleen, 11/16/2011 -

— Bill, 7/14/2011 -

" Well, this was a fun read but very like Indiana Jones. This is the only one of the Cotton Malone series I have read. If you like adventure fiction it is ok. "
— Janice, 4/22/2011 -
" An adventurous book about a find in China's first emperor's tomb, and what the politicians are about to do, or could do in today's world. Should be interesting for you Rik. I had never heard about this kind of oil. <br/>So , an interesting and fun read for a lazy weekend "
