But the disaster is only the beginning, as the artifact leads Pitt toward a secretive cult convinced that the legendary Achaeans reached the New World thousands of years ago. With a ruthless conspiracy threatening to disrupt the world's climate and countless lives hanging in the balance, Pitt must expose the truth behind an ancient mystery before his enemies can reshape the modern world.
