The latest pulse-pounding thriller from New York Times bestsellers Preston & Child.

There´s no such thing as too great a risk for a man living on borrowed time.

Gideon Crew is out of a job but it is the least of his worries: his doctor has just told him he has only months to live.

Time enough for one last adventure.

For a century, the infamously enigmatic hieroglyphs etched into the Phaistos Disk have defied interpretation. But now, after five long years of computer-aided code-breaking, Gideon has a lead on an undiscovered civilization, long-lost beneath the sands of the Egyptian Sahara.

As a man facing the end of his days, Crew needs little persuasion to pack up and head out into the heart of the desert.
