About this audiobook
For thousands of years, Egypt was a rich, ingenious civilization. Then it became a fertile hunting ground for archaeologists and explorers. Now the streets of Cairo teem with violence as a political awakening shakes the region.
Archaeologist Jack Howard has connected a mystery hidden inside a great pyramid to a fossilized discovery in the Red Sea and a 110-year-old handwritten report of a man who claims to have escaped a labyrinth beneath Cairo. For that reason his team is stalked by a brutal extremist organization that will destroy any treasure they find.
As people fight and die for their rights aboveground, Jack fights for a discovery that will shed an astounding new light on the greatest story ever told: Moses' exodus from Egypt and the true beginnings of a new chapter in human history.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I used to love these books when I was a kid. Turns out they're still pretty awesome.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a great read for any lovers of Amelia Peabody-though more of a Clive Cussler protagonist. Great action scenes and loads of well-researched history.
