John Rain, killer di professione, non può dire di no alla CIA. Aveva deciso di chiudere con la morte ed era fuggito in Brasile per far perdere le proprie tracce. Ma la sua abilità nel mascherare gli omicidi da morti naturali e la capacità di agire inosservato sullo scenario asiatico l'hanno reso indispensabile. L'incarico è di quelli che scottano, ad altissimo rischio: eliminare Achille Belghazi, spietato trafficante d'armi, implicato nel terrorismo islamico in Medio Oriente. Rain accetta, ma promette a sé stesso che questa sarà l'ultima missione. Quando arriva a Macao, sulle tracce di Belghazi, capisce che qualcun altro ha preso di mira il suo bersaglio. Ma per chi lavora? E che cosa nasconde la bella moglie della vittima designata? Possibile che l'intera operazione sia una messinscena? Dalle luci scintillanti dei casinò di Macao, ai vicoli bui di Hong Kong, Rain diventa la pedina di un gioco troppo insidioso, dove il confine tra cacciatore e preda è sottile e pericoloso.

L’assassinio di una squadra di scienziati dell’ONU a El Salvador, una collisione mortale nel fiume di Detroit, un violento attacco a un sito archeologico lungo il Nilo: tre eventi in apparenza scollegati tra loro ma che, come capirà presto il direttore della numa, Dirk Pitt, sono uniti da un enigma antico che potrebbe cambiare il futuro dell’umanità… Durante quella che doveva essere una missione di routine in Centroamerica, Pitt si ritrova invischiato in un intrigo internazionale che lo trascinerà in giro per il mondo – dalle acque profonde della Scozia, dove dovrà cercare risposte sulla diffusione di una malattia sconosciuta e sull’oscura azienda di biorisanamento che potrebbe esserne la causa, alle bollenti sabbie d’Egitto, dove la vita dei suoi figli è in grave pericolo, fino alle rocciose Isole d’Irlanda, dove avverrà una spettacolare resa dei conti. Cussler invia i suoi intrepidi eroi Dirk Pitt e Al Giordino nella più selvaggia e audace delle loro avventure: solo Pitt, infatti, può svelare i segreti di un mistero che affonda le radici nell’antichità, la cui soluzione potrebbe trovarsi nella tomba di una principessa egiziana costretta a fuggire dagli eserciti di suo padre. Sembra che Pitt debba guardare nel passato per salvare il futuro.
