Book Review:
''The Emperor's Tomb'' by Steve Berry is a top-notch, gripping, intelligent thriller featuring former Justice Department agent Cotton Malone. The tomb of China's First Emperor, guarded by an underground army of terra-cotta warriors, has remained sealed for 2,200 years. It is one of the greatest archaeological sites in the world—so why won't the government allow anyone to open it?

That question is at the heart of the harrowing adventure that begins when Malone is told to visit an unfamiliar website and see his friend Cassiopeia Vitt being tortured. Her captor demands that Malone hand over a priceless artefact Cassiopeia asked him to keep safe. There's only one problem: Malone has no idea what he's talking about.

Malone races from Europe to China to confront a ruthless brotherhood, an explosive secret—and a deadly battle for power over the whole world.

Berry is a master of the historical thriller. This novel is breathless, second-by-second suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat. If you enjoy Dan Brown, historical mysteries, or adventure thrillers, The Emperor's Tomb is a must-read. Highly recommended!
