What mystical secrets lie beneath the Great Pyramids?
The world changes for Ethan Gage—one-time assistant
to the renowned Ben Franklin—on a night in
post-revolutionary Paris, when he wins a mysterious
medallion in a card game. Framed soon after for the murder
of a prostitute and facing the grim prospect of either
prison or death, the young expatriate American barely
escapes France with his life—choosing instead to accompany
the new emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte, on his glorious mission
to conquer Egypt. With Lord Nelson's fleet following close
behind, Gage sets out on the adventure of a lifetime. And in
a land of ancient wonder and mystery, with the help of a
beautiful Macedonian slave, he will come to realize that the
unusual prize he won at the gaming table may be the key to
solving one of history's greatest and most perilous riddles:
who built the Great Pyramids . . . and why?
