"One of the world's best storytellers." -Huffington Post For eons,
the city of Troy-whose legendary fall was detailed in Homer's
Iliad-was believed to be myth, until archaeologists in the
nineteenth century uncovered its ancient walls buried beneath the
sands. If Troy was real, how much of Homer's 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 ship's hold
contains a collection of artifacts-tools of war-dating back to the
Bronze Age. Inside the captain's cabin is a clockwork gold map
imbedded with an intricate silver astrolabe. Once activated, the
moving map traces the path of Odysseus's 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-the subterranean world of Tartarus, the Greek name for Hell.
When word of Tartarus spreads, the phantasmagoric horrors found in
Homer's tales are all too real-and whoever possesses them can use
their awesome power to control the future of humanity. Now, Sigma
Force must prevent a tyrant from igniting a global war and cross
the very gates of Hell. "[Rollins] is what you might end up with if
you tossed Michael Crichton and Dan Brown into a particle
accelerator together." -New York Times Book Review
