Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Gideon Crew--brilliant scientist, master thief--is living on borrowed time. When his mysterious employer, Eli Glinn, gives him an eyebrow-raising mission, he has no reason to refuse. Gideon's task: steal a page from the priceless Book of Kells, now on display in New York City and protected by unbreakable security.
Accomplishing the impossible, Gideon steals the parchment--only to learn that hidden beneath the gorgeously illuminated image is a treasure map dating back to the time of the ancient Greeks. As they ponder the strange map, they realize that the treasure it leads to is no ordinary fortune. It is something far more precious: an amazing discovery that could perhaps even save Gideon's life.
Together with his new partner, Amy, Gideon follows a trail of cryptic clues to an unknown island in a remote corner of the Caribbean Sea. There, off the hostile and desolate Mosquito Coast, the pair realize the extraordinary treasure they are hunting conceals an even greater shock-a revelation so profound that it may benefit the entire human race . . . if Gideon and Amy can survive.
Reviews
Great read, highly recommend!
5By DanSmith119Great read, highly recommend!Waste of money
1By Dune1074Too far-fetched. Started of with a good believable story-line and frayed into something out of a bad 1950's science-fiction novel. Not worth the money...Childish Fantasy
1By SvsmdA very interesting storyline but possibly the worst writing I have encountered ever. I will never read another book by these authors and have serious questions about the meaning of NYT Bestseller.The Lost Island
5By LibrtyThis was a very entertaining story. It was difficult to put down. I'm looking forward to Gideon's next mission.Lost Island
3By SAppelquistSuspend your disbelief. The book starts out as an entertaining thriller, then twists around into a fantasy fest. It ends as a prologue to the next book. Somewhat disappointing.The Lost Island
