Years ago, an ancient Phoenician statue known
as the Navigator was stolen from the Baghdad Museum, and there are
men who would do anything to get their hands on it. Their first
victim is a crooked antiquities dealer, murdered in cold blood.
Their second very nearly is a UN investigator who, were it not for
the timely assistance of Austin and Zavala, would now be at the
bottom of a watery grave.
What's so special about this statue? Austin wonders. The search
for answers will take the NUMA team on an astonishing odyssey through
time and space, one that encompasses no less than the lost treasures
of King Solomon, a mysterious packet of documents personally encoded
by Thomas Jefferson, and a top secret scientific project that could
change the world forever.
And
that's before the surprises really begin . . .

with all the hair-raising action and endless invention that have
