...LOVE IT!...the best book I've read in a long time...if you love history this is for you!!

A struggle for succession. A thousand year mystery. Would you risk a million innocents to save two?

Babylon, 323 B.C.

King Alexander the Great has died without an heir and blood-thirsty generals circle each other, plotting for the throne and pieces of a vast and restless empire. But captain Deon has other worries-his ugly past has finally caught up with him, and now a vicious lender will sell his family to slavery if he does not clear his debt. Desperate, he accepts a mission from Alexander's wily Royal Secretary in return for a generous reward.

Deon soon discovers that nothing is as it seems in the murky waters of succession. Deceived and threatened, he faces a stark choice: decode a secret with the power to bequeath the owner with the keys to Alexander's throne and earn his family's freedom, or let them die in the brutal gold mines of Ethiopia.

Assisted by a companion as skilled with languages as she is with a dagger, and pursued by forces that will stop at nothing, Deon must cross lands erupting in violence and find an astonishing mystery hidden for a thousand years. But the more he learns, the more he realizes that his actions will decide the life and death of not only his loved ones but also that of millions of innocents.

Packed with twists-and-turns and painted with colorful characters, The Atlantis Papyrus brings excitement to well-researched historical mysteries.

Each book in the Whispers of Atlantis Series can be enjoyed entirely on its own. However, the tendrils of each book connect to the other across the ocean of time, and the reading experience is enhanced when read in sequence.
