Synopsis

Once a rising star in the field of archaeology, Marah Chase is now a black-market treasure hunter, her services available to the highest bidder. But when she’s caught “rescuing” relics in Syria before they’re destroyed by war, an MI6 officer named Joanna Mason approaches her with an offer she can’t refuse: help save the world or rot in prison. All Chase has to do is find Alexander the Great’s lost tomb, recover an ancient weapon of mass destruction he may have used to conquer the earth, and destroy it before the bad guys can get it. Among those adversaries is a powerful church that believes in a forgotten epoch of advanced alien technology, the white supremacist thugs in its employ, and the rival archaeologist who recently left Chase for dead. Chase can’t resist a challenge—or the British spy recruiting her. There’s just one problem. If Chase has any hope of unearthing Alexander’s tomb before the forces hot on her heels do, she’ll need the help of the one person she’s been afraid to see since her fall from grace: Zoe Forrester, the heir to a hidden journal that holds the key—and Chase’s ex-girlfriend. A contemporary homage to the best adventure stories of literature, television, and film, Marah Chase and the Conqueror’s Tomb is an action-packed, globe-trotting quest, perfect for anyone who’s ever thought Indy really ought to be Jewish, female, and gay.

Goodreads review by Mike on July 17, 2019

In the vein of many of these novels we don't delve into in depth character studies and the action sacrifices probability for fun. As such, Marah Chase and Conqueror's Tomb is precisely what it sets out to be and I enjoyed the hell out of it. If you love action-adventure novels that walk a line betwe......more

This was my first book by Jay Stringer, and I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew it was going to be different from my usual read, but the blurb really appealed to me. And I'm so pleased I went for it, because I loved it. This was a complicated story line which I needed to focus on. But that was easil......more

Goodreads review by Caitlyn on July 19, 2019

If you like rip-roaring Tomb Raider style adventures, Marah Chase is the heroine you've been waiting for. Recruited by British Intelligence to find the tomb of Alexander the Great and a mysterious, powerful artefact it contains before a quasi-religious cult (obviously thinly based on Scientology, wh......more

Goodreads review by Mike on October 15, 2020

Fun adventure with a surprising amount of time spent on the research side of things. I really liked this and thought the pacing was great with a good split between Marah and Agent Mason. I liked that the characters didn't need to be in there same place as the time and trusted each other enough to get......more
