In the latest international thriller from bestselling author Boyd
Morrison, former combat engineer Tyler Locke races against time to
unearth the truth about the fabled touch of King Midas.
Tyler Locke's routine commute on a Washington State ferry is
interrupted by a chilling anonymous call: his father has been
kidnapped, and a truck bomb is set to detonate on board in twenty
minutes. When Tyler reaches the bomb on the boat's car deck, he's
stunned to find classical languages expert Stacy Benedict waiting
for him. She's received the same threat, and her sister has also
been taken.
In order to disarm the bomb, Tyler and Stacy must work together
to solve an engineering puzzle--a puzzle written in ancient Greek.
But preventing the explosion is only the first step; they soon
learn the entire setup is a test created by a ruthless criminal who
forces them to go on a seemingly impossible mission: uncover the
legendary lost riches of King Midas.
Tyler and Stacy have just five days to track down the gold.
Armed with an ancient manuscript penned by brilliant Greek inventor
Archimedes, they begin a quest to unravel a two-thousand-year-old
mystery whose answer is hidden within the workings of a cryptic
artifact: the Antikythera Mechanism, a device designed by
Archimedes himself. To save their loved ones and prevent their
captors from recovering a treasure that will finance unspeakable
devastation, the two scramble to Italy, Germany, Greece, and
finally to the streets of New York City in a race against the clock
to find the truth behind the story of King Midas.
"The Vault "combines an explosive premise and blistering pace
with a fascinating exploration of one of history's most intriguing
inventors and a brilliant reimagining of an ancient legend.
