Reseña del libro "World War Zero: A Marah Chase Thriller"
FIND THE TOMB. SAVE THE WORLD.A rogue archaeologist. A British spy. An ancient weapon. An epic race against time.Once a rising star in the field of archaeology, Marah Chase is now a black-market treasure hunter, selling history to the highest bidder. When she's caught "rescuing" relics in Syria, an MI6 agent named Joanna Mason approaches her with an offer she can't refuse: save the world or rot in prison.A shady cult who believe ancient aliens left technology buried on earth are scouring the globe for proof. Their latest target is the tomb of Alexander the Great. But MI6 have reason to believe this time they might find what they're looking for, buried in the sands of Egypt. Also joining the race are a group of Neo-Nazi mercenaries who want Alexander's body for political reasons, and Syrian treasure hunters posing as Islamic fundamentalists.Chase doesn't believe in ancient aliens. She came to archeology for a love of genuine history. But she can't resist a challenge―or Joanna Mason. There's just one problem. If Chase has any hope of finding Alexander's legendary hidden tomb, she'll need the help of the one person she's been afraid to see since her fall from grace: Zoe Forrester, an heiress to a secret journal containing the key to the search, and Chase's ex-girlfriend.Find the tomb, save the world.
