Twists that will make even hardcore adventure fans say "wow!" This is fast-paced, nonstop fun. Cussler fans will gobble it up' - Kirkus (Starred Review)

Kurt Austin and the NUMA crew risk everything to stop a cutthroat arms dealer from stealing a priceless ancient treasure.

In 1074 B.C., vast treasures disappear from the tombs of Egyptian Pharaohs. In 1927, a daredevil American aviator vanishes on an attempted transcontinental flight. And in the present day, a fishing trawler - along with its mysterious cargo - sinks off the coast of Scotland.

How are these three mysterious events connected?

And, more importantly, what do they mean for Kurt Austin and his NUMA team?

Kurt and his team soon find themselves wrapped up in a treacherous treasure hunt as they race to find the lost Egyptian riches. . . before they fall into the wrong hands.
