The Heirs of Alexander

There have been many conquerors through the ages but only one was never defeated--Alexander the Great. With his death scholars believed the source of his might was lost forever. They were wrong. ------Former C.I.A. operative Hannibal Poe always does the right thing...after hes tried everything else. Its an expensive habit costing Hannibal his job and very nearly his freedom.

Taking advantage of his career as a gun-for-hire his handler asks him to complete one more mission. He must protect the brilliant archeologist Alexandra Seymour and any relics she recovers in her quest for the lost tomb of Alexander the Great. To get back into the Agencys good graces Hannibal grudgingly agrees to the task but to protect Noah he must take him along for the ride. Getting his job back is soon the least of Hannibals worries. His ruthless employer corporate titan Erik King has discovered that the C.I.A. believes the Omphalos the mythic relic used by the Oracle of Delphi to predict the future may lie within the hidden tomb. King will pay any price to seize it. Now hunted by religious fanatics fellow soldiers of fortune and the self-proclaimed Lord of Hell Hannibal and his team of misfits must decipher the ancients riddles navigate underwater death traps and elude the claws of the monstrous Shackled to claim the prize. But to keep his newfound friends alive and the Omphalos from shaping a dark new world Hannibal will need to rely on more than his beloved Patton hand cannons. He must find the strength to overcome his hidden grief and do whats right one last time--or lose his very soul.------ His legend you know. The quest for his truth has just begun...
