Publisher's Synopsis
For thousands of years mankind has spoke of a legendary, mythical city lost beneath the waves. Now, that legend is no longer a myth. Ethan Warner and Nicola Lopez are pulled out of hiding in pursuit of their greatest prize yet: the origin of almost every artefact they've uncovered in their investigations with the Defense Intelligence Agency. But now there is a new administration in Washington DC and the Russians are colluding with the White House to seek out the city for themselves. Obsessed with recovering the billions stolen from the corrupt cabal Majestic Twelve, men of power will stop at nothing to obtain untold wealth - even if that means all out war between east and west. Caught in the turmoil, Ethan and Nicola are deployed to find the lost city before the Russians, but they're out on their own as America seeks revenge on their team. Hunted across the globe, the final showdown has begun. From India to the Aegean Sea, the fjords of Norway to the humid jungles of Indonesia, Ethan and Nicola must follow clues left behind 3,000 years ago by a Greek mariner, and everybody is out to stop them at any cost...
