Ooit stond op de top van de piramide van Cheops een mysterieuze gouden driehoek die duizend jaar wereldheerschappij kon geven aan degene die een geheim ritueel uitvoerde. Maar lang geleden is die gouden driehoek in zeven stukken gebroken, die werden verborgen in de zeven wereldwonderen. Al die tijd was het geheim van Cheops goed verborgen, maar daar is nu verandering in gekomen. De eerste aanwijzingen zijn boven water gekomen en hebben een proces in gang gezet dat niet meer te stoppen is. In een race tegen de klok proberen de Verenigde Staten de zeven wereldwonderen te vinden. Een team van experts probeert de geheime codes te ontrafelen die de locaties prijsgeven waar ooit de hangende tuinen van Babylon, de Kolossus van Rhodos en de andere wereldwonderen zich bevonden. Maar ook een samenwerkingsverband van de belangrijkste Europese landen en het Vaticaan heeft het op het geheim van Cheops voorzien. In een poging deze twee imperia te stoppen, gaan een kleine groep landen de strijd met hen aan. Een expeditie onder leiding van Jack West jr. vecht een ongelijke strijd met de twee grootmachten uit. De strijd om de heerschappij over de wereld is losgebarsten. Onderdeel van een serie: #2: De stenen van Stonehenge #3: Het pact van Paaseiland

Dopo aver ritrovato la punta d'oro massiccio della Piramide di Giza, Jack West crede di potersi godere un meritato riposo in Australia, insieme con Lily, la sua figlia adottiva. Ma un membro del suo team lo contatta e gli rivela che superare le Sette Prove è stato soltanto l'inizio: il mondo, insomma, ha ancora bisogno di loro, perché un'altra catastrofe incombe. Stavolta la sfida consiste nel trovare sei leggendari diamanti - i Pilastri - e incastonarli nelle altrettanto leggendarie Sei Pietre Sacre: soltanto così si potrà contrastare una gigantesca fonte di energia che finirebbe per distruggere completamente l'umanità. Nel breve arco di nove giorni, il gruppo di West dovrà decifrare l'enigma di Stonehenge e violare le camere segrete delle piramidi, sopravvivere a un inseguimento sulle montagne della Cina e sfuggire a una tribù cannibale in Congo.
