Ancient papyrus scrolls recovered among the charred ruins
of the Library of Alexandria reveal astonishing texts that
detail the wonders of Atlantis—knowledge that could shatter
the blueprint of world energy. Archaeologist Annja Creed
confronts shadow figures determined to preserve empires
built on power, greed and global manipulation, finding
unlikely allies in a mysterious American with connections
in high places, and a young linguistics prodigy with
attitude. Dodging a petroleum conglomerate and their pet
killers on a high-speed chase that leads from Egypt to the
North Sea oil fields to the urban battlegrounds of China,
Annja becomes an unwilling conspirator in a bid for power
to control the beating heart of the world's energy.
