About this title

Review:

"Original, scary, rooted in the past but as current as tomorrow's nightmare. An enthralling read" (Lee Child)

"One of the boldest recent adventures in historical fiction" (Independent)

"A fantastic tale of human struggle against the forces of evil and an attempt to avert the apocalypse" (Soul & Spirit)

"Very much in the style of the epic thriller writers such as Wilbur Smith, Clive Cussler and Matthew Reilly, Scott has produced a veritable three course meal of a book in which every dish served up is superb" (Shropshire Star)

Book Description:

Only when thirteen crystal skulls are reunited can the world be saved: ancient prophecy combines with modern zeitgeist in this gripping, high concept conspiracy thriller.
