Description

Ancient myth meets dark science—and gods and kings will rise again.

Book Eleven in the Dan Kotler archaeological thrillers

Following the events of The God Extinction and The Hidden Persuaders, Dr. Dan Kotler finds himself drawn into a sinister plot that hits dangerously close to home: it's the family business.

His grandfather, Richard Kotler, has resurfaced with thirty-six genetic samples stolen from archaeological dig sites around the world. Using a forbidden new science and the vast resources of an ancient order obsessed with world domination, Richard plans to resurrect gods and kings of legend and unleash them upon the modern world.

Teaming up once more with his FBI partner, Agent Roland Denzel, Kotler races to the ancient ruins of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey—the site of the oldest known temple in human history—where the final key to stopping his grandfather's terrifying plan may lie hidden.

As the stakes escalate, Kotler must confront the darkest corners of his family legacy while racing to prevent a nightmare in which the gods themselves walk the Earth once more.
