Description: "A cracking thriller." -- The Sun (London) "This is a sort of Platonic ideal of the kind of book Dan Brown attempts to write--a pacy, preposterous Indiana Jones-esque thriller, but with prose that sparkles, jokes that amuse and characters that resemble human beings." -- Jake Kerridge, Daily Telegraph (London) "An act of great daring, pulled off to perfection....Thoughtful, thought-provoking and intelligent: mind-blowingly good." -- Manda Scott, author of The Crystal Skull "Tom Harper has been writing elaborate thrillers that marry ironclad narrative skills with some of the most elegantly understated writing in the field; he's the thinking person's Dan Brown. Actually, Harper deserves the latter's success--and more, as Harper is comfortably the better writer." -- Barry Forshaw, author of The Rough Guide to Crime Writing "There is food here for mind, sense, and heart. It is exceedingly high-class entertainment." -- N.J. Cooper, author of Vengeance in Mind "This thought-provoking thriller marks a return to form for the talented Harper. . . .A convincing portrait of Plato's time." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "This exciting, fast-paced thriller boasts some well-drawn characters, an involving plot, and some seriously interesting speculation about the nature of hell. . . . It's an ambitious book, and fans of the author's previous, history-based thrillers will have a great time." -- Booklist "A historical thrill ride. . . . The history and mystery move forward like a bullet out of a gun. . . . The research of ancient Greece is stunning and in-depth, and the marvelous characters, both present day and long ago, are enticing." -- Suspense Magazine
