The world changes for Ethan Gage--onetime assistant to the
renowned Ben Franklin--on a night in postrevolutionary Paris when
he wins a mysterious medallion in a card game. Framed soon after
for the murder of a prostitute and facing the grim prospect of
either prison or death, the young expatriate American barely
escapes France with his life--choosing instead to accompany the new
emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte, on his gamble to conquer Egypt. With
Lord Nelson's fleet following close behind, Gage is entangled with
generals, archaeologists, and mystics. And in a land of ancient
wonder and mystery, with the help of a beautiful Macedonian slave,
he will come to realize that the cursed prize he won at the gaming
table may be the key to solving one of history's greatest and most
perilous riddles: Who built the Great Pyramids ... and why?
