KlappentextOne of the world´s best storytellers. -Huffington PostFor eons, the city of Troy-whose legendary fall was detailed in Homer´s Iliad-was believed to be myth, until archaeologists in the nineteenth century uncovered its ancient walls buried beneath the sands. If Troy was real, how much of Homer´s twin tales of gods and monsters, curses and miracles-The Iliad and The Odyssey-could also be true and awaiting discovery?In the frozen tundra of Greenland, a group of modern-day researchers stumble on a shocking find: a medieval ship buried a half-mile below the ice. The ship´s hold contains a collection of artifacts-tools of war-dating back to the Bronze Age. Inside the captain´s cabin is a clockwork gold map imbedded with an intricate silver astrolabe. Once activated, the moving map traces the path of Odysseus´s famous ship as it sailed away from Troy. But the route detours as the map opens to reveal a fiery river leading to a hidden realm underneath the Mediterranean Sea-the subterranean world of Tartarus, the Greek name for Hell. When word of Tartarus spreads, the phantasmagoric horrors found in Homer´s tales are all too real-and whoever possesses them can use their awesome power to control the future of humanity.Now, Sigma Force must prevent a tyrant from igniting a global war and cross the very gates of Hell. [Rollins] is what you might end up with if you tossed Michael Crichton and Dan Brown into a particle accelerator together. -New York Times Book Review
