American adventurer Ethan Gage barely escaped with his
life from murderous thieves, survived a nerve-racking sea
voyage and the deadly Egyptian sands when attached to
Napoleon's army, and solved a five-thousand-year-old
riddle with the help of a mysterious medallion.
But that was child's play . . .
The year is 1799.
As Bonaparte's army descends upon Israel, intent upon
conquest, Ethan Gage finds himself embroiled in an ancient
mystery in the Holy Land, searching for a legendary
Egyptian scroll imbued with awesome powers.
The
courageous and resourceful Gage must keep the mysterious
document from his enemy, Napoleon—or, failing that, wrest
it from him, even if it means pursuing his vengeful
adversary back to France. And the wisdom of his great
mentor, Benjamin Franklin, will offer Gage no solace
should Bonaparte succeed in unlocking the terrible secrets
of the Book of Thoth—for whoever masters its magic will
rule the world.
