Cotton Malone is awakened in the middle of the night by his ex-wife. Someone has kidnapped their
son and will only return him when he has given them the "link" to the legendary Library of Alexandria, which Cotton had secreted away 5 years before, while working for the Magellan Billet - an ultra-secret government spy agency. He is the only one who knows where it is, and how to get it. He is the only one who can tip the balance of peace in a war-torn area of the world, and he is the only one who can save his son.
This novel takes the reader on a quest through bible lore and legend on a search for the knowledge of the ancients. Deeply descriptive, and well-researched the reader often wonders if the lost library could actually have survived.
