Publisher Description
The world is in shock when Michelangelo's David is stolen from a museum in Florence, Italy. The latest in a series of audacious thefts of historical treasures, it's only a matter of time before another priceless artefact is targeted.
When the Talonor Codex—a great Atlantean explorer's account of his travels—is stolen, it becomes clear that the thefts form only part of the raiders' ultimate plan. The codex holds clues to the location of the Vault of Shiva and its fabled contents—the legendary Shiva-Vedas, the chronicles of the ancient Hindu god of destruction. Witnesses to the latest daring robbery, archaeologist Nina Wilde and former SAS soldier Eddie Chase are forced into a treacherous hunt across the world to discover the vault before its secrets fall into dangerous hands. The vault's prize is a treasure beyond price, but it may also be the catalyst for global annihilation.

"This is the 6th book in the Nina Wilde series and was a bit different than the 1st 5. This time instead of searcing for some long lost treasure or artifact, Nina & her husband try to stop a mad billionaire from destroying the world. Of course it had the usual long chase and fight scenes that are typical for this series. There are also some descriptive scenes where various characters get injured or killed - not for the faint-of-heart. All-in-all a good easy read."

" Typical Nina and Eddie I'm beginning to think they are indestructible or from the planet Krypton :-) but still not a bad tale and linking to the last and next so let's see what happens next "

" Yes, its more of the same but it really doesnt matter because McDermott writes so entertaining and he doesnt take his stories or characters very seriously and they are so much better for it. One of the better in the series. On to the next one! "

" I found this book quite entertaining. This is a husband and wife version of Indiana Jones and the action is non-stop. I hadn't read the previous books in the series but I will be soon. "

" More exciting adventure for Chase and Wilde who seem to hurtle around the globe in this fast-paced action thriller. "

" Reading first book of Andy McDermott. It would have been a great read if the author had cut short the story to 400 pages. Too much of action and description. Still its a good read. "
— Vijay, 10/5/2013 -
" Even though I'm a fan of the history/archeology/thrill-genre, this one didn't do it for me. The story was too flimsy and the action sequences too long and fairly gory. The characters weren't well developed, the dialogue was trite. "
— JulieLaLa, 9/25/2013 -
" Exactly what I've come to expect from this series. The best action scenes out there, some truly excruciating puns, and a wonderful relationship between Eddie Wilde and Nina Chase. I ripped through this in about three protracted sittings and loved every moment. Looking forward to the next one. "
