Synopsis

AN ANCIENT WARRIOR.

AN INCREDIBLE TREASURE.

A LETHAL ENEMY.

It's the opportunity of a lifetime—the chance to prove that a tomb containing the remains of the legendary hero Hercules actually exists. If American archaeologist Nina Wilde can locate it, it will be the most important historical find ever unearthed. But as Nina and her ex-SAS bodyguard, Eddie Chase, begin their search, it's clear that others want to find the tomb—and the unimaginable riches within—and will do anything to get there first.

Who will find the tomb of Hercules first, and what fantastic treasure does it hold? From New York to Shanghai, from Switzerland to the diamond mines of Botswana, Nina and Eddie must stay one step ahead of their enemies in a race to solve a mystery as ancient as civilization itself. But when a beautiful woman from Eddie's past joins the hunt, all the rules change—and in this life-and-death game, their next move may be the most dangerous one of all.

Goodreads review by Dan

Okay, so I know how I talked up this series after reading the 1st one. Granted, the genre is super-cliche but I thought Hunt for Atlantis was even good enough to get 5-stars. Why? Because that was an entertaining novel. McDermott apparently did not realize what made the first novel good because almo......more

Ooooookkkkaaayyyy...... This is an action thriller that really didnt have enough action to thrill me. I read the first book in this series where Eddie and Nina set out to find Atlantis. This seems to have gone so well and been so successful that our writer decided that a search for another mythical p......more
