As usual, Gabriel Hunt finds himself in the middle of a
scuffle, which includes a long saber and an Olympic Sword
Champion behind it. Hungarian Lajos DeGroet is on the hunt
for a priceless treasure. He has kidnapped a linguist named
Sheba McCoy, but Gabriel rescues her and takes her back to
New York where not too many hours later, DeGroet's men
manage to kidnap her again.
Gabriel gives pursuit and holes up inside a large crate of
ammo and weapons. DeGroet's men load him into an airplane
for a long flight to Egypt. When Gabriel sneaks out of the
crates and looks around, he is shocked to discover they are
at the foot of the Sphinx, where DeGroet expects Sheba to
translate instructions hidden inside the paw of the great
statue. Those instructions lead to an inner sanctuary where
further directions and a map are located.
Gabriel's luck holds out after more fighting. He is able to
again rescue Sheba and flee to the next clue in Greece with
DeGroet always just one step behind him. Using his brother
Michael's contacts, and the $100 million Hunt Foundation's
funds, Gabriel always manages to make a quick escape or
gain ferry to the next location on his wild adventures.
Historical lore connects the Egyptians, Greeks and Sri
Lanka with the sphinx in the spotlight in HUNT THROUGH THE
CRADLE OF FEAR, the second Gabriel Hunt book. The opening
pages entice the reader into a world of intrigue, fast
perilous adventure and charming heroic wit. If you enjoy
an "Indiana Jones" style of action and a ruggedly handsome
hero with many well-earned scars, then the Gabriel Hunt
series is for you. Charles Ardai, an Edgar award-
winning author, created this series and recruits other well-
known authors into creating this funnily entertaining
series.
Backed by the resources of the $100 million Hunt Foundation
and armed with his trusty Colt revolver, Gabriel Hunt has
always been ready for anything...
The Adventures of Gabriel Hunt brings you all-new
high-adrenaline stories of danger and discovery in the great
pulp tradition of Indiana Jones, Doc Savage, The Lost
World, and King Solomon's Mines.
