内容简介 Cotton Malone is back and the stakes were never higher: a deadly virus that could wipe out civilisation as we know it -- and a cure that lies buried in the past. The Venetian League, a secret group of 45 political and economic leaders from around the world, has joined forces with a coalition of former Soviet republics to create a potentially devastating biological weapon, a bird flu-like virus that has been artificially mutated to pass from human to human. Whoever develops the cure would control the future of global warfare. Yet that cure may have been discovered centuries ago, and if so the clue to the location of the formula lies buried with Alexander the Great. When Cotton Malone's former companion Cassiopeia Vitt hears about it, she and Cotton join the hunt for Alexander's long-lost tomb, and what at first seems to Cotton a wild quest for the answer to a perplexing historical riddle becomes a harrowing fight for truth that has unimaginable repercussions, both geopolitical and terrifyingly personal.

媒体推荐 'Pure intrigue. Pure fun.' -- Clive Cussler on Steve Berry 'A major twist... the puzzles are so much fun... radical thinking of the Gospels that's sure to spark some lively debate ... pretty grabby stuff' -- Wall Street Journal on THE TEMPLAR LEGACY 'Complex and fast-moving thriller writing, delivered with a great deal of dash, and shades of The Da Vinci Code' -- Good Book Guide on THE TEMPLAR LEGACY 'Sexy, illuminating ... my kind of thriller.' -- Dan Brown on THE AMBER ROOM 'Writes with the self-assured style of a veteran' -- Dan Brown 'Not to be missed. Anagrams and complicated symbology... a complex, well-written, and extremely readable story.' -- Library Journal on THE TEMPLAR LEGACY 'Steve Berry is a writer on the rise.' -- David Morrell, author of NIGHTSCAPE and CREEPERS 'Conspiracies and plots abound ... Berry handles his thriller tradecraft skilfully, [and] his descriptions are stellar.' -- Booklist on THE THIRD SECRET 'International intrigue, swashbuckling action, indestructible hero from the American South... Not to be missed.' -- Kirkus Reviews, on THE ROMANOV PROPHECY
