Back Cover Blurb:
"Driven by visions of his dead father, Professor Caleb Crowe reluctantly joins the Morpheus Initiative, a team of remote-viewing archaeologists determined to locate the remains of the seventh Wonder of the Ancient World - The Pharos Lighthouse - beneath which the legendary treasure of Alexander the Great is rumored to be hidden. Crowe's quest spans two thousand years of visionary history that connects the ashes of Herculaneum and the lost Library of Alexandria with a secret government program and an ancient society called The Keepers. To discover a threshold guarded by deadly traps and forgotten prophecies is one thing, but facing the truth about himself is something else altogether."
My thoughts:
I always love it when I find a new author that I like. Sakmyster is the latest. I loved The Pharos Objective. The plot moved along nicely and I hope the characters return in a sequel. The novel was well researched and the author has a chapter at the end telling us what is real and what is fiction. I had never heard of the Pharos Lighthouse before and feel like I had a history lesson. There was a lot of action and adventure which is a must for the treasure hunt sub-genre of mysteries. I can see this as a movie with Nicholas Cage playing the lead. Highly recommended.

I haven't heard of this wonder either. Looks good.

Hi: You are doing some great challenges that I hadn't heard about - historical fiction and Middle East - if I weren't doing so many already, I'd join in, happy reading, Ruby
