They sought the truth. They found a nightmare.
A team of explorers seek ancient treasures, hidden in a secret cave. At first it seems they will return empty-handed. Then their luck turns.
But the team's elation is short-lived as they become trapped there in the dark, with little possibility of escape.
Then events take an even more terrifying turn.
For not all secrets are meant to be found...
Gripping, exciting, page-turning fun. I suspect Michael Crichton would have been happy to put his name to it. * John Connolly *
Crackles with claustrophobic tension that had me holding my breath. I couldn't sleep until I'd finished reading, and then I couldn't sleep just thinking about it. * Sarah Pinborough, bestselling author of BEHIND HER EYES *
Brilliant. Thrilling, tense, dark, funny. Michael Crichton meets Indiana Jones. * C. J. Tudor, author of THE CHALK MAN *
Brilliant. Thrilling, horrifying, gripping . . . Like Michael Crichton had written The Descent * Martyn Waites *
The plot and writing are beautifully filmic in quality, bringing a sense of Crichton nostalgia. There's also that deep rooted almost mythological puzzle that begs to be solved.The imagery is haunting and garners a real threat towards the characters that will leave any reader's heart racing * Queens of Geekdom *
This is a great read, with some nice pop culture references and it feels like a mix of X-Files, Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider....it's truly gripping with some great humour, tension, excitement and some surprises along the dark and scary way. I loved this and can thoroughly recommend it * Orlando-books blog *
