The tomb of China's First Emperor has remained sealed for
2200 years, guarded by an underground army of terra cotta
warriors. Though it’s regarded as one of the greatest
archeological sites in the world, the Chinese government
forbids anyone to open it.
But why?
That question is at the heart of a dilemma faced by
former-Justice Department operative Cotton Malone, whose
life is shattered when he receives an anonymous note
carrying an unfamiliar web address. Logging on, he sees
Cassiopeia Vitt, a woman who's saved his life on more than
one occasion, being tortured at the hands of a mysterious
man who has a single demand—Bring me the artifact she’s
asked you to keep safe.
One problem: Malone doesn't have a clue what the man is
talking about, since Cassiopeia has left nothing with him.
So begins Malone’s most harrowing adventure to date—one that
offers up astounding historical revelations, pits him
against a secretive Chinese brotherhood, a phalanx of
eunuchs, and two men fighting to the death for control of
the world’s most populace place.
