Book Description
======
To save the world and our future, Sigma Force must embark on a
dangerous odyssey into an ancient past whose horrors are all too
present in this pause-resisting thriller from number-one New York
Times best-selling author James Rollins that combines cutting-edge
science, historical mystery, mythology, and pulse-pounding action.

For eons, the city of Troy – whose legendary fall was detailed in
Homers Iliad – was believed to be myth, until archaeologists in the
19th century uncovered its ancient walls buried beneath the sands. If–
Troy was real, how much of Homers twin tales of gods and monsters,
curses and miracles – The Iliad and The Odyssey – could also be true
and awaiting discovery?

In the frozen tundra of Greenland, a group of modern-day researchers
stumble on a shocking find: a medieval ship buried a half-mile below
the ice. The ships hold contains a collection of even older artifacts–
– tools of war – dating back to the Bronze Age. Inside the captains
cabin is a magnificent treasure that is as priceless as it is
miraculous: a clockwork gold map imbedded with an intricate silver
astrolabe. The mechanism was crafted by a group of Muslim inventors
–
the Banu Musa brothers – considered by many to be the Da Vincis of the–
Arab world – brilliant scientists who inspired Leonardos own work.

Once activated, the moving map traces the path of Odysseuss famous
ship as it sailed away from Troy. But the route detours as the map
opens to reveal a fiery river leading to a hidden realm underneath the–
Mediterranean Sea. It is the subterranean world of Tartarus, the Greek–
name for Hell. In mythology, Tartarus was where the wicked were
punished and the monstrous Titans of old, imprisoned.

When word of Tartarus spreads – and of the cache of miraculous weapons–
said to be hidden there – tensions explode in this volatile region
where Turks battle Kurds, terrorists wage war, and civilians suffer
untold horrors. The phantasmagoric horrors found in Homers tales are
all too real – and could be unleashed upon the world. Whoever
possesses them can use their awesome power to control the future of
humanity.

Now, Sigma Force must go where humans fear to tread. To prevent a
tyrant from igniting a global war, they must cross the very gates of
Hell.
