"For centuries, legends have whispered of an extraordinary group of ancient people whose lifespans stretched two or three times longer than ordinary people. Though not truly immortal, these enigmatic individuals amassed lifetimes of unparalleled knowledge, their advancements so astonishing that they were mistaken as gods.
They shaped humanity’s most extraordinary achievements: the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Ming dynasty’s Treasure Ships, the lost city of Atlantis, the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacán, and a global communication network – known as the Looking Glass – that linked the world four thousand years before Columbus crossed the Atlantic, earning them the title of Master Builders.
When the last of the great ones died, their vast knowledge of the ancient world was buried with them in a secret tomb some believed was never meant to be found. If such a necropolis existed, it would be much larger than even the Great Pyramid of Khufu, its treasures eclipsing those of King Tutankhamun, and guarded by an ancient army more formidable than the Terracotta Warriors who protected the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.
With the location of the Necropolis of the Gods now known, Sam Reilly is on a race to reach its inner sanctum before others – equipped with the Elixir of Life – are able to steal its deadly treasures and unlock an ancient army of unimaginable power."
"Pax West was only four years old when he nearly killed another child.
Extensive physical and behavioral testing revealed a unique genetic anomaly that might explain his extreme responses to external threats. Specifically, his ventromedial prefrontal cortex – the part of the brain that governs emotions, morals, and ethics – was missing. Neurologists had never encountered such a condition. Most believed he wouldn't survive to adulthood. Some even suggested he should be locked up – or euthanized while there was still time.
But Dr. Alan Kepler, a leading neurologist working with the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, had a different idea.
If Pax West could be tamed, he would become the perfect weapon – the very tip of the spear the CIA used to keep America safe. Could he be taught to override his impulses and develop an unwavering sense of duty to his country?
By eighteen, Pax became a Navy SEAL. By twenty-four, he was recruited by a clandestine arm of the CIA to become a Ghost – a man who didn’t exist. His honor and duty to his country were now hardwired into his very being. He lived to serve, finding purpose in his new moral compass: doing whatever it took to protect his country.
But what happens when a mission goes wrong, and Pax discovers that the very man he's been taking orders from for years has betrayed the nation he's sworn to protect?
Pax must do what he’s always done: find and neutralize the threat. But what if saving this enemy’s life is the only way to prevent World War III from erupting?
If you're a fan of authors like Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, Brad Taylor, or Lee Child, you will enjoy this thrilling new series from the bestselling author of the Sam Reilly series, Christopher Cartwright."
"Kelly Robinson, a 24-year-old economics doctoral student, spent the day on a perilous climb to Abuna Yemata Guh, a 5th-century monolithic church carved into a sheer cliffside in Ethiopia.
Inside, the chapel walls were covered with vibrant frescoes, their colors deep and rich, depicting serene biblical figures, saints, and angels.
But then something happened that science couldn’t explain.
Within hours, the video Kelly captured of the incident went viral.
Thousands of miles away, the crew of the Tahila watched in disbelief. If the footage was real, it meant one terrifying thing: the Elixir of Life had been found.
And the world was now in grave danger.
To make matters worse, Sam Reilly was missing…"
"A private jet crashes in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, killing everyone on board.
One of the passengers was Darren Young, an entomologist who was meant to be working alone in Papua New Guinea, studying rare beetles.

And why, as his plane entered its fatal descent, did he send a text message to his wife containing just three simple words:
