Book description
Surviving murderous thieves, a nerve-racking sea voyage, and the
deadly sands of Egypt with Napoleon's army, adventurer Ethan Gage
solved a five-thousand-year-old riddle with the help of a mysterious
medallion. But the danger is only just beginning...
Gage finds himself hurled into the Holy Land in pursuit of an
ancient Egyptian scroll that promises to reveal the secrets of the
universe, even as Bonaparte launches his deadly invasion of Israel.
The general hopes the ancient secrets of the Middle East will help
catapult him to power in France, and the inventive Gage faces old
enemies as he must use all his wit and derring-do to prevent dark
powers from seizing control of the world.
