Synopsis
Non stop adventure and death defying chases in Will Adam's outstanding debut novel. It's 318 BC in the deserts of Libya, and Alexander the Great is buried as only a God should be, placed in a golden Sarcophagus in a catacomb of chambers, each packed with diamonds, rubies and gold. This was how he should have remained, but time waits for no-one. 2007 and underwater archaeologist Daniel Knox has been on the trail of Alexander's Gold ever since he can remember. When a tomb is uncovered on the construction site of a new hotel, Daniel believes he has found the clue to what he has been working towards for years. But the discovery has alerted two of the most dangerous men in the world, and Daniel is now a marked man.

Customer Reviews

An entertaining debut
This is an engrossing and entertaining read, with good insight into it's character's motivations, although there seemed to be a few too many supporting characters who slowed down the action to my mind.
I understand it took the author some time to get this published, but hopefully it was worth the effort. If he can build on the strengths of this first book then I look forward to reading his next effort.

The magic of Alexander the Great - a fast paced thriller
Alexander the Great and his long lost resting place is the core and background for this fast paced thriller, even tough it needs a bit of time to gain that pace. Several different stories interwine and lead to a dramtic end. Here all the right ingredients are in place to hook the readers quickly and wanting them to learn how the story continues to find the long lost treasure - the tomb of Alexander the Great. It is a great debut novel.

Well-written adventure novel
During my 1-week holiday in the sun I read this book and really enjoyed it. An adventure novel set in Egypt, with lots of interesting and well-researched details about the country itself and about the story of Alexander the Great. A good choice of very different characters that interact in a way that makes the story nice to read.
Thoroughly enjoyable, it made my holiday even better than it already was.
