Some secrets are worth crossing the world for. Not every family agrees on why.
When his grandfather vanishes from an archaeological dig in Ethiopia, journalist Nathan De Groot inherits a coded diary and a trail that runs through a secret Templar archive, across nine countries, and into the hands of an ancient order that has guarded the Ark of the Covenant since the days of Solomon.
He isn't the only one looking. The Shadow Syndicate is hunting the same trail, backed by resources, patience, and a scientist convinced the Ark's power could make death optional, for the right price. When Nathan learns who's really running the Syndicate, the case stops being about the past. It becomes personal.
The Ark Conspiracy moves across a large canvas, a private island headquarters, an artificial intelligence with something close to a conscience, an ancient brotherhood, and a family fracture three thousand years in the making. Readers who want their adventure fiction with real weight behind it, in the tradition of Wilbur Smith's sweeping, character-driven epics, will find a story that asks as much of the heart as it does of the passport.
Book One of the Nathan De Groot Adventures.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Nathan De Groot is a South African investigative journalist with an instinct for walking toward trouble. When his grandfather, celebrated archaeologist Professor Archibald De Groot, vanishes from an Ethiopian excavation site, Nathan follows the only lead he has: an encrypted diary and a trail that leads from the Swiss Alps to a medieval archive in Sion, to the stone-carved secrets of Chartres Cathedral.What he uncovers is three thousand years old and still dangerous. The Ark of the Covenant is not lost. It has been hidden, protected by an unbroken line of Guardians since the reign of Solomon - and someone has finally come close enough to take it.That someone is Dr Simon Rowell: brilliant, patient, and Nathan's uncle. His goal is not the Ark itself but the extraordinary energy field it produces - enough to make death optional, for those who can afford it.The key exists. The ring exists. And the mechanism built into both was designed, three thousand years ago, for exactly this moment.The shepherd does not own the flock. This item is printed on demand.
