Synopsis

The Golden Capstone atop the Great Pyramid at Giza offered protection from the global flooding and scorching sun that occurs every 4,500 years due to the Tartarus Rotation solar event. But Alexander the Great broke the Capstone into seven pieces and hid them in the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Now, in 2006, another Tartarus Rotation is due, and whoever places the reconstructed Capstone on the pyramid in time will gain absolute earthly power. Everyone wants the Capstone—from the most powerful countries to terrorists—and one daring coalition of eight small nations who think that no single country should possess such awesome power.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Bradley

I say it's SF, but that's only because I haven't bothered to add an Action/Adventure category. For this is what it is! Yeah, robot arms and flying suits and all, but best of all, and adventure to pick up your 5000 year old Legos or Amon Ra is gonna smite you! Say what? Is that even in this book? Well,......more

Quotes

“The ‘greatest treasure hunt in history’—a nonstop roller-coaster ride that lurches around the globe—might make a summer blockbuster—if American audiences will swallow their compatriots as the baddies.” Publishers Weekly

“Trying to explain this ‘thrill-in-every-paragraph’ story read by William Dufris is impossible, but it’s jam-packed with just enough testosterone to keep male listeners demanding more escapist fiction from Reilly.” Library Journal

“Reilly offers up another absurdly over-the-top adventure with this globetrotting thriller…He certainly manages to keep the action coming, with the book’s endless run of treasure hunts, high-speed chases, and gun battles.” Kirkus Reviews
