      Matthew Reilly, autore di bestseller noto per l'azione intensa, presenta una coinvolgente caccia al tesoro per le Sette Meraviglie del Mondo Antico. In tempi antichi, una Pietra di Capstone d'Oro fu collocata sulla Grande Piramide di Giza durante un raro evento solare chiamato Rotazione di Tartaro, che si verifica ogni 4.500 anni. Questo evento, causato dalla Macchia Solare di Tartaro, portò a devastanti inondazioni e calore estremo. La leggenda afferma che chi posizionerà la Capstone sulla piramide durante la prossima Rotazione di Tartaro otterrà potere assoluto sulla Terra per un millennio. Con l'avvicinarsi della Rotazione di Tartaro del 2006, la Capstone scompare, spingendo le potenze globali, tra cui Stati Uniti, Unione Europea e Israele, a inviare truppe per trovarla. Una coalizione di sette nazioni più piccole si unisce per impedire a un singolo paese di rivendicare il potere della Capstone, formando un team guidato dal super-soldato australiano Jack West Jr. Questo gruppo eterogeneo include un professore canadese, due commandos irlandesi, un paracadutista spagnolo, un soldato giamaicano, un commando arabo e un audace pilota neozelandese, insieme a Lily, una bambina di dieci anni in grado di decifrare il testo antico che conduce alla Capstone. Il loro viaggio è pieno di trappole, meraviglie antiche e avventure straordinarie, dal Colosso di Rodi alla Grande Piramide.

Il motivo per cui l'esercito statunitense è interessato a quel misterioso idolo è che la materia di cui è fatta la statua deriva da un meteorite, nel cui cratere si sono rinvenuti metalli che costituiscono la base di una nuova terrificante arma.
