Synopsis
Alexandria, Egypt, 1977. During a dive to an old shipwreck, archaeologist Isabella Warnock uncovers an artefact unlike anything she has ever seen: an astrarium, a mysterious ancient device rumoured to have shaped the destinies of pharaohs and kings since the beginning of time. But her discovery comes at a terrible price, and it falls to her husband Oliver to keep the priceless object safe. Up against a shadowy enemy and a powerful cult prepared to do anything for the treasure, Oliver is catapulted into a breakneck race to protect an ancient secret in a dangerous world of conspiracy and Egyptology, where age-old sorcery and legends clash violently with modern-day ambitions.
Review
A thriller set around the retrieval and use of an ancient artifact and with the main action taking place in and around Egypt.
Id say it's a good holiday read - fast paced, reasonable plot given acceptance of the nature of the artifact, interesting characters, very good evocative descriptions. It'll keep you absorbed for the time it takes to read but won't clog up your memory !
