This is a fast moving adventure thriller featuring Major Adam Gunn VC, recently returned from Helmand province where he was wounded in action. Just when he thought that he had got his life back under control, he is once again drawn into a dangerous and perplexing chain of events as he tries to return Imhotep's sarcophagus to its rightful place in Egypt. Someone very powerful is stalking him, determined to learn the secret of the Curtana, and prepared to kill anyone who gets in his way. In his search for the Mahdi, a mysterious and shadowy figure who is rumored to want to re-establish a caliphate throughout the Middle East, Adam finally solves the mystery of the Curtana sword. Death, murder and love all blend into an exciting story, loosely based on ancient legends, as Adam finally finds the code that opens the Hall of Records, a mythical source of knowledge long lost to mankind.
