Summary

Nearly two thousand years ago, an Eastern emperor charged a small group with safeguarding a body of knowledge and secrets powerful enough to change the history of mankind. They went down in legend as the Nine Unknown Men—and now two rival factions of the descendants are fighting a mighty battle. Both sides think they are saving the world, but one of them is willing to use horrifying means to accomplish its goals. Now is up to Cabrillo and his team of expert operatives to stop both of them from the destructive path they're on, and save the earth from a dynasty of terror.[3]

Reception

Critics are mixed, with Kirkus noting, "It’s not the strongest premise for a thriller" and "Readers probably won’t lie awake worrying whether all this could really happen" [4] and Publishers Weekly saying "There’s plenty of action, but the stale scenario and stock characters add up to a seen-it-before experience."[5] Whereas the AP offered the praise, "Cussler and action-adventure fans will love this latest Oregon Files novel. New characters to the team are most welcome, and the sheer insanity of the story line will keep readers guessing about what's going on until the last page of the book."[6]
