Publisher's Synopsis
In A.D. 327, a Roman galley with an extraordinary cargo barely escapes a pirate attack. In 1916, a British warship mysteriously explodes. In the present day, a cluster of mosques are wracked by explosions. What ties them all together? NUMA director Dirk Pitt and his team are about to find out, as Roman artefacts discovered in Turkey and Israel connect to the rise of a fundamentalist movement determined to restore the glory of the Ottoman Empire. From Washington to London to the Near East, dangerous men fill their path, and at the end of it, the most dangerous thing of all: the rumoured existence of a mysterious lost "manifest", which just might change the history of the world as we know it.
