About this audiobook
A BURIED EGYPTIAN TEMPLE.
A SECRET KEPT FOR SIX THOUSAND YEARS.
A RACE FOR LIFE WORTH KILLING FOR.
An international TV audience waits breathlessly as archaeologists prepare to break into a long-hidden vault beneath the Great Sphinx. But archaeology student Macy Sharif has already made her own shocking discovery: a religious cult raiding the site. Their prize? A map that will lead to something far more astounding: the lost pyramid of Osiris. Framed by corrupt officials, Macy goes on the run, trying to reach the only people who can save her before she is silenced-permanently.
American archaeologist Nina Wilde-once a renowned scientific explorer, now all but blacklisted by her colleagues-is trying to rebuild her reputation. But Macy's plea for help will send Nina and ex-SAS bodyguard Eddie Chase on the ultimate treasure hunt. From the streets of Manhattan to a yacht off Monaco to a buried desert site, they'll follow an elusive trail stalked by a killer determined to uncover a six-thousand-year-old secret. And beneath the forbidding desert, they'll enter a forgotten world both wondrous and horrifying, where the ancient God of Death has kept his secrets-until now.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was enjoyable, had a lot of action. I recommend reading it
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Prepare to suspend any disbelief you might have had as Eddie Chase and Nina Wide return to dig up artefacts previously thought to be mythological and save the world from meglomaniac bad-guys. This time Eddie and Nina are off to Egypt to uncover the tomb of the god Osiris. This book is no different from any of the previous ones in the series, except the location and the names of some of the characters have been changed. If you want a clever, original thriller with depth of characters and smart plot twists then this is not for you. If you want an easy read that plays out like a big budget film script then this is right up your street!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a typical McDermott read. Lots of chasing, fighting and escaping with interaction between Nina Wilde & Eddie Chase, the main character-married couple. Some interjection of humor was also good. Fans of Matthew Reilly books will enjoy this book especially when Nina & Eddie explore the Osiris pyramid.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Love it. Entertaining and knowledgeable on Egyptian information.
Will now go to the earlier books to see if they are as good! - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Archaeologist Nina Wilde has discovered the lost city of Atlantis, the tomb of Hercules and the Sword of Excalibur – tantamount to a scientist inventing a time machine, limitless clean power and an anti-aging serum. However, with the convoluted reality of adventure novels, Nina is broke, discredited and unemployed – when she finds evidence leading to the lost pyramid of Osiris.Cultists, corrupt officials, mysticism, inept archaeologists and ruthless killers clutter the pages of Aussie writer McDermott’s 5th Wilde and Chase story, which makes up in breakneck action for what it loses in literacy and believability. Strictly a once-off road trip read.
