A mysterious ancient relic. A forgotten civilization. A truth that could change the world forever.
In 1906, an Egyptologist uncovered a map carved in stone inside an ancient temple. Convinced that it pointed to a lost city of gold somewhere deep in the desert, he set out on another expedition the following year. He was never seen again.
In present day Yale, a professor is brutally murdered on the university campus, and a mysterious artefact is stolen from its vaults.
Former Delta Force operator Ethan Frost is used to high-pressure situations, but when his former mentor Professor Goodwin is murdered and an old journal in his care is stolen, Ethan is pulled into a world he thought he'd left behind. Intent on bringing Goodwin s murderer to justice and retrieve the stolen artefact, Ethan teams up with the professor's research assistant and three of his former associates from the military.
They soon discover that the professor s murder is connected to a conspiracy led by a ruthless Egyptian magnate seeking to re-write history and reshape the world in his image. Following the clues from the journal, the team venture to Cairo and the barren, sun-scorched deserts of Egypt, where a forgotten city and a truth that could change the world wait to be uncovered.
With a trail of bodies in their wake and nefarious forces bent on their destruction closing in, Ethan s team must race against time to find the lost city and unravel the ancient mystery.
