Description
Taklamakan desert, 1895A new Pompeii has come to light and, with it, two remarkable artefacts, found in a hidden burial chamber.
A metal ankh and star - covered in strange inscriptions, feather-light and cool to the touch.
Svalbard, 1897On the skerried islands of Svalbard, a hydrogen balloon is readied for a polar voyage.
Publicly, it is a patriotic attempt to put Sweden in the lead of the race to the North Pole.
Privately, the three men on board have another objective.
But S. A Andree, Knut Frænkel and Nils Strindberg will never be seen alive again. Falun, Sweden, 2011260 meters under the earth, in a long-flooded mineshaft, a diver's torchbeam plays over a mouldering corpse with a fist-sized hole in its forehead.
Skeletal fingers clutch a metal amulet. It is the key to the annals of a secret history so deeply buried that the few who knew of it though it lost forever.
Until now...
