The Pharaoh Key: Gideon Crew series
Autor Douglas Preston, Lincoln Childen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 mar 2019
Don't
miss
the
this
exciting,New
York
Timesbestselling
adventure
from
Preston
&
Child,
in
which
the
secrets
of
a
mysterious
ancient
tablet
may
point
the
way
to
untold
treasure--or
unspeakable
danger.
"I
just
want
to
be
crystal
clear
about
this:
if
it
has
value,
we're
gonna
steal
it.
Are
you
with
me?"
Effective
Engineering
Solutions
has
been
inexplicably
shut
down
and
the
head
of
the
company,
Eli
Glinn,
has
all
but
vanished.
Fresh
off
a
diagnosis
that
gives
him
only
months
to
live,
Gideon
Crew
is
contacted
by
one
of
his
coworkers
at
EES,
Manuel
Garza,
who
tells
him
the
two
have
mere
hours
to
collect
their
belongings
before
the
office
closes
forever.
After
years
of
dedicated
service
and
several
high-risk
missions,
theirs
seems
like
the
most
ignoble
of
terminations-until
Gideon
and
Garza
happen
upon
an
incredible
discovery.
After
centuries
of
silence,
a
code-breaking
machine
at
EES
has
cracked
the
long-awaited
translation
of
a
centuries-old
stone
tablet,
the
Phaistos
Disc,
that
dates
back
to
an
otherwise
completely
unknown,
ancient
civilization.
The
mysteries
of
the
message
itself
hint
at
incredible
treasures,
and
perhaps
even
a
world-altering
secret.
No
one
remains
at
EES
to
take
on
this
most
remarkable
mission
but
Gideon
and
Garza.
The
two
agree
to
solve
the
mystery
of
the
disc's
message
and
split
the
spoils:
the
perfect
parting
gift
their
employer
doesn't
know
he
has
given.
What
lies
at
the
end
of
the
trail
may
save
Gideon's
life-or
bring
it
to
a
sudden,
shocking
close.
As
Gideon
and
Garza
soon
discover,
some
missions
are
more
dangerous
than
others.
But
as
Gideon
has
proved
again
and
again,
there's
no
such
thing
as
too
great
a
risk
when
you're
living
on
borrowed
time.

PRAISE
FOR
THE
GIDEON
CREW
SERIES:
"Preston & Child take all of the various elements from classic horror and sci-fi films and novels and spin them together to write what begins as an action adventure, but soon delves into paranoid terror ... scary good fun."—Associated Press, on BEYOND THE ICE LIMIT
"Preston and Child have been in the business of keeping secrets for years now and simply no one's better at knowing just how long to keep them... wildly entertaining and lightening paced... impossible to put down."
—Providence Sunday Journal, on THE LOST ISLAND
The eponymous Gideon Crew would be equally comfortable smack in a Ludlum tempest or striding onto the set of the Ocean's Eleven franchise. Preston and Child have crafted an electrifying, riveting thriller on which I could continue to heap praise, but instead I will just offer this: Read the book! And we can all look forward to the next appearance of Mr. Gideon Crew in the not-so-distant future."—David Baldacci, onGideon's Sword
"One wild, series-ending adventure....cleverly plotted...This is a great cap on the series."
—Kirkus (Starred Review)
"Entertaining...Fans of theIndiana Jonesmovies
will find plenty to like."
—Publishers Weekly
"Look up adventure in the dictionary and you're likely to find a picture of Doug Preston and Lincoln Child for reasons that are all on display in 'The Pharaoh Key'....This is lightning-paced, action-thriller writing of the highest order, a throwback to the best of Alistair MacLean and reminiscent of James Rollins and Brad Meltzer at their best."—Providence Sunday Journal
"[THE PHARAOH KEY] invokes classic adventure novels from the early 20th century. Mystery after mystery builds into a finale that even savvy readers won't see coming. If this truly is the last Gideon Crew novel, the authors have ended his escapades in grand style; fans will rejoice and newcomers will appreciate the sheer scope of everything."—The Associated Press
