AN EXHILARATING TREASURE-HUNT THRILLER FROM THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR

Over 4 million Ben Hope novels sold.

‘Deadly conspiracies, bone-crunching action and a tormented hero with a heart ... packs a real punch’ Andy McDermott

Only one man can unearth its secret

An ancient fortune has lain hidden for thousands of years, one so powerful that men will kill to protect it. And only one man can unearth it...

Ex-SAS operative Ben Hope is living a peaceful life in rural France – until a phone call from an old army comrade turns his world upside down. Eminent Egyptologist Morgan Paxton has been brutally murdered while working on the mysterious 'Akhenaten Project' in Cairo, and Colonel Harry Paxton wants Ben to find his son's killer.

Ben is unable to refuse the request from the man who once saved his life – but when Harry asks him to avenge his son's death he's in dangerous territory. Made worse by the fact that he finds himself attracted to Zara Paxton, Harry's new bride.

Carving through the seedy Cairo underworld, Ben soon realises that there was more to Paxton's research than meets the eye as he is plunged into one double-cross after another. His mission leads him from Italy and Paris via the coast of Scotland to the banks of the Nile, climaxing in a tense showdown in the war-torn Sudanese desert.

At the end of the trail lies the ultimate treasure, hidden away by three rebel High Priests during the reign of the 'Heretic' Pharoah Akhenaten – a collection so valuable that some will stop at nothing to possess it...

The Ben Hope series is a must-read for fans of Dan Brown, Lee Child and Mark Dawson.

Whilst the Ben Hope thrillers can be read in any order, this is the fourth book in the series.

Started well with angles converging but far too many lucky coincidences and trite explanations. Eventually and unfortunately it turns into an Indiana Jones movie. I enjoyed Hopes 1-3 and will give the 5th in the series a chance but this one missed the mark for me sadly.

Thoroughly enjoyed the book, but found difficulty in accepting the relationship development of a man of Hope's background! Took the edge of an otherwise superb book. I will, however, be reading the next Ben Hope adventure.

Origin of the alphabet; number line, computer is the same place. There isn't a calendar without a programmer; different ones in society are for companies to supply basic utilities; motor vehicles, food clothes & shelter. Computer programs give the answers to outstanding questions; humans do not. They also drive all artificial moving objects; humans do not. One program designs all the building and a different one does cars; the program includes after they are built schedules for them and us. Cameras are a derivative of computer separate from video recorder for unreal pictures and photograph obstructing justice to disappear or vanish includes video tapes & DVD's.
