"Gregory Angell, the present day descendant of George Angell is summoned by a nameless covert agency of the US Government to retrieve a sacred book from the grasp of an Islamist terror network. Angell's quest takes him from the streets of Brooklyn to the deserts of the Middle East, to Central Asia, northern India and an island in the Pacific Ocean where a city that has been buried comes to the surface after a tsunami. The reader is taken on side trips to Nazi Germany, the laboratory of a South Florida necrophile, post-Katrina New Orleans, and to the origins of the modern science of archaeology in the late nineteenth century. This book will thrill ancient aliens fans, and Lovecraft followers and all readers interested in Codes and secrets"--
