The Arcadian returns. Greig Beck unleashes a relentless, blood-soaked epic tale in the twelfth Alex Hunter thriller, in a battle of gods, men and monsters. In a forgotten age, the old gods fell. Zeus crushed the ancient Titans in a war that shook the heavens, then hurled the vanquished into Tartarus: an abyss of ice and torment buried far beneath the underworld itself, sealed forever. Or so he believed. Now, high in Crete's mountains, archaeologists have unearthed a crumbling manuscript that promises whoever opens the gates to Tartarus will command the Titans: unstoppable beings capable of bringing the modern world to its knees. Linguist Matt Kearns discovers irrefutable evidence that a reclusive billionaire believes the myth is real and plans to free the Titans. Only one man can stop him: Alex Hunter, the legendary Arcadian, leading the elite HAWC commandos into the depths of the Earth to confront horrors never faced before. But victory demands the impossible - Alex must find and recruit Zeus himself. In this thunderous collision of ancient myth and cutting-edge military fury, Greig Beck unleashes a relentless, blood-soaked epic tale that races from buried Tartarean ruins to the marble arenas of Olympus itself, leaving you breathless until the final, cataclysmic page is turned.
