World War Zero: An Archaeology Action Thriller

A rogue archaeologist. A British spy. A lost tomb.

An ancient weapon. A load of Nazis. A race against time.

Once a rising star in the field of archaeology, Marah Chase is now a black-market treasure hunter, her services available to the highest bidder. But when she's caught "rescuing" relics in Syria before they're destroyed by war, an MI6 agent named Joanna Mason approaches her with an offer she can't refuse: help save the world or rot in prison.




All Chase has to do is find Alexander the Great's lost tomb, recover an ancient weapon of mass destruction he may have used to build his empire, and destroy it before the bad guys can get it. Among those adversaries are a powerful church that believes Earth was visited by ancient aliens, a group of Nazi mercenaries, and a rival relic hunter.




Chase can't resist a challenge-or the British spy recruiting her. There's just one problem. If Chase has any hope of unearthing Alexander's tomb before the forces hot on her heels do, she'll need the help of the one person she's been afraid to see since her fall from grace: Zoe Forrester, an heiress to a secret journal containing the key to the search, and Chase's ex-girlfriend.






A contemporary homage to the best adventure stories of literature, television, and film, World War Zero is an action-packed, globe-trotting quest, perfect for anyone who's ever thought Indy really ought to be Jewish, female, and gay.
