Synopsis

Book 4 in the Area 51 series.Dr. Lisa Duncan and Special Forces officer Mike Turcotte know better than anyone that no secret is safe for long—especially one that offers untold power. Case in point: no sooner does Turcotte’s elite Area 51 team uncover a dormant alien ship in earth orbit than a group of alien-human hybrids seizes it and uses its technology to commandeer a satellite array bristling with nuclear missiles. Now they’re demanding that humankind hand over the key to an ancient stash of alien technology…or watch an entire continent be reduced to atomic rubble.Doom seems certain, as the required key is believed lost to the ages—until an unwitting anthropologist discovers the first of many clues to its hiding place. As Duncan and Turcotte race to reach the key—and the powerful treasure it can unlock—ahead of their alien foes, the quest leads them deep into a deadly maze within the Great Sphinx of Giza. The prize? Nothing less than the legendary Ark of the Covenant.

Goodreads review by Lacey on November 04, 2023

Goodreads review by Katie on October 02, 2012

I must say this was the best of book of the series so far. There were still some edit/spelling mistakes for some reason more abundant that I am used to seeing in books. There were some interesting theories in this book. I thought they are somewhat plausible even. I do recommend reading the first 3 b......more

Goodreads review by Shawn on July 01, 2014

Another good book of the series. This is the middle book of the series and reads like a middle book. This doesn't have an exact ending, this is a set up novel for the books that come next. A lot of characters in this novel, much more than the previous four. Lots of changing scenes as we go from char......more

Goodreads review by Carlos on June 10, 2013

The third book was a decent read, but this one made reading it worth it. I very much liked how they kept the story fresh with great plot twists and the addition of Mualama, his discoveries, the Russian aspect of the story, and fact that we as readers still haven't had the whole alien background stor......more

Goodreads review by Maurice Y Khang on January 25, 2016

Best in the Series So Far With the introduction of Professor Mualama, yet another interesting character, this edition took on a historical Indiana Jones perspective that I loved. As the story switched from one character to another, I couldn't decide which subplot I liked best. Well done!......more
