Police storm the headquarters of an apocalyptic cult in remote Utah, and in the carnage that follows a wounded police officer is led to safety through smoke and flames by a young girl. It is only when they emerge that the officer realises that the girl is completely blind......
Six months after the collapse of Majestic Twelve, The Defense Intelligence Agency is hunting for their lost billions while investigating the discovery of a mysterious Sumerian tablet that describes an alien encounter in ancient Egypt. Ethan Warner and Nicola Lopez are despatched to follow up the claims, and find themselves embroiled in a Russian conspiracy, Operation Orakul. Amid the horror of the Syrian Civil War, Russian investigators are abducting troubled young girls and using them as "Seers", intent on pursuing the same leads as the DIA. As the two missions hurtle toward each other, so Ethan and Nicola find a bizarre connection between ancient Egypt, the Delphi of Greece and the fabled Ark of the Covenant.
From the blistering deserts of Utah to the sacred halls of the Vatican, the ancient plateau of Giza to the war-torn wastelands of Syria, Ethan and Nicola must hurry to locate a tomb long-buried beneath the sands of Egypt and unlock the mystery that formed Majestic Twelve in the first place, and the Russians will stop at nothing to beat them to it...
