2 journalers for this copy...
Revolutionary France, 1798. American adventurer Ethan Gage, gambler, sharpshooter, and pupil of the late Franklin, wins a mysterious medallion in a card game. Within hours he is framed with a prostitute’s murder and in flight to join Napoleon’s secret invasion of Egypt, enlisted with a promise to unlock the secrets of the Great Pyramid.
Accompanying Napoleon’s military force are 167 scientists and engineers who will be the first Europeans to study the ruins of ancient Egypt. Gage is admitted to this company of “savants” because of his medallion and knowledge of electricity, learned from Benjamin Franklin. Did some mysterious force aid erection of the pyramids? Did the pharaohs learn the secrets of living forever? Even as he hurtles into war, Gage is pursued by shadowy enemies who seem determined to get the baffling medallion, and the powers it could unlock, at all costs. In a race against time and terrain, the world’s fate is at stake.
