Book description
The tomb of China's First Emperor, guarded by an underground army of
terracotta warriors, has remained sealed for 2200 years. It is one of
the greatest archeological sites in the world, but why won't the
government allow anyone to open it? That question is at the heart of the
dilemma faced by former-Justice Department agent Cotton Malone when he
receives an anonymous note carrying an unfamiliar web address. Opening
the website, he sees his friend Cassiopeia Vitt being tortured by a man
who demands that Malone bring him the artefact Cassiopeia asked him to
keep safe. There's only one problem: Malone has no idea what he's
talking about. So begins a harrowing adventure that sends Malone racing
from Europe to China to confront a ruthless brotherhood, an explosive
secret - and a deadly battle for power over the whole world. Steve
