Journey of the Pharaohs
In 1074 B.C., vast treasures disappear from the tombs of Egyptian Pharaohs. In 1927, a daredevil American aviator vanishes on an attempted transcontinental flight. And in the present day, a fishing trawler--along with its mysterious cargo--sinks off the coast of Scotland. How are these three mysterious events connected? And, more importantly, what do they mean for Kurt Austin and his NUMA team?
As they search for answers, the NUMA squad join the agents of the British MI5 to take on a wide-reaching international conspiracy. Their common enemy is the Bloodstone Group, a conglomerate of arms dealers and thieves attempting to steal ancient relics on both sides of the Atlantic. Kurt and his team soon find themselves wrapped up in a treacherous treasure hunt as they race to find the lost Egyptian riches. . . before they fall into the wrong hands.

Clive Cussler
Before most thriller writers were sending heroes across collapsing ice shelves or into sunken wartime submarines, Clive Cussler was already there, charting the coordinates.
Born in 1931 in Aurora, Illinois, and raised in Southern California, Cussler grew up close enough to the Pacific to feel its pull. The ocean was not background scenery for him, it was a question mark. After serving in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War as a flight engineer and mechanic, he moved into advertising, where he learned the art of momentum, how to seize attention quickly and never let it drift. That instinct would later define his brand of adventure fiction.
