Publisher Description

On the trail of the lost Dead Sea Scrolls, archaeologist Daniel Knox stumbles upon a theft in progress at an ancient temple near Alexandria. Then a senior Egyptian archaeologist is violently killed, and the finger of suspicion points at Knox himself. To add to his mounting worries, his partner Gaille Bonnard is kidnapped while showing a television crew around the ruins of Amarna. She manages to smuggle out a message, pleading with Knox to rescue her, but he's locked in a police cell on suspicion of murder hundreds of miles away. His only hope of clearing his name and saving Gaille is to crack one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the ancient world...before it's too late.

"If you like the first Daniel Knox story you'll love this one. Similar twists and chases but a nice story line, good recurrence of characters from the fist book and an interesting mix of less than Wholesome Christian Motives in an Islamic world"

— Tim (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “The Alexander Cipher is a razor-edged thriller that delves deeply into crumbling tombs and ancient secrets. Explosively paced and tautly told, the book demands to be read in one sitting.”

    — James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Oracle, praise for the Alexander Cipher
  • The suspenseful action allows Colacci to demonstrate his facility with accents and well-cadenced pacing…. Listeners will feel like they're following Knox's investigation as it happens.

    — AudioFile
  • “David Colacci ’s empathetic and fluid narration style reflects the story’s emotional highs and lows as Knox learns that he’s on the hook for a friend’s murder, his partner s been kidnapped, and someone is trying to kill him. The suspenseful action allows Colacci to demonstrate his facility with accents and well-cadenced pacing. His reading brings out the best in a crackling adventure tale involving Nefertiti, Moses, and a hoax that may have some basis in truth.”

    — AudioFile
  • “Adams clearly demonstrates the imagination and the storytelling prowess necessary to compete with the established veterans. Fans of thrillers that take readers deep into the past should be enthusiastically urged to read this novel.”

    " I was excited to read this book after it being described as Indiana Jones/Dan Brown inspired but I really struggled reading it. It was interesting enough for me to complete it but it wasn't gripping. I usually end up finishing the last page, closing the book, and spend five minutes daydreaming about the end, saying goodbye to the story and characters, but with this book, there was none of that - no character attachement, no wondering what happened afterwards. I liked the historical and cultural aspect of the book but I must admit I got quite lost with the reasonings. I would still be interested in reading his other book so it hasn't put me off Will Adams but this one just wasn't my thing! "

    " This was an okay historical-archaeological thriller. It centers around the "heretic" pharaoh Akhenaten and a hypothesis that he was the historical Moses and that the Jews who fled Egypt were, in fact, these heretic Egyptians who believed in one god. But, then there are other things going on and it's mostly rather vague as to what the big deal is until near the end, and then it's rather a disappointment. Lots of characters to keep track of, which made it a bit harder to know what was going on and who was helping/resisting who. "

    " When the book cover says, "Digging up danger, unearthing truth," you know you're not in for a highbrow ride! But it's a thriller about ancient Egyptian archaeology--pharaoh Akhenaten--the ancient Essenes: how could I resist? "

    " Probably the weakest of Will Adam's 4 books but you need to read this so that the others make sense. Again if you like Dan Brown you will like this. Another story about some lost artifacts that unfolds a story some people don't want to get out. This one has some serious religious fanatics in it. "

    " As one of these go, it was an OK yarn. Characters a bit shallow, and not quite real enough, but enough history, action, and plausability to make me ready to read the previous book (Alexander Cipher). "
