An ancient talisman. A relentless emperor. One roguish American swept into a breathless odyssey across three continents.

From master storyteller William Dietrich come books 1-3 in his bestselling Ethan Gage adventure series: Napoleon's Pyramids, The Rosetta Key, and The Dakota Cipher.

The opening volumes follow former Franklin assistant Ethan Gage through late-eighteenth-century turmoil after a Parisian card game yields an enigmatic Egyptian medallion. Dietrich sweeps his reluctant protagonist across the Mediterranean with Bonaparte's invasion fleet, into the Great Pyramid, and through the bloody siege of Acre.

Across the third installment, the narrative carries Gage to the American frontier, where ancient Norse runes and hidden relics ignite a deadly pursuit along the upper Mississippi.

Secret History: Cryptic clues left by medieval Knights Templar send Gage into the rose-red rock canyons of Petra, hunting an ancient biblical scroll rumored to command the forces of creation.

Suspense Thriller: Summoned to the unfinished President’s House in Washington, Gage accepts an executive commission from Thomas Jefferson to investigate prehistoric mammoth bones and uncharted western territories.

Morally Grey Hero: Driven by self-preservation and sudden flashes of conscience, Gage allies with an ax-wielding, one-eyed Norseman seeking a legendary lightning-charged relic beneath a colossal ash tree.

Unlikely Romance: Rescued from the rubble of an Alexandrian sniper nest, sharp-tongued priestess Astiza challenges Gage’s cynicism while deciphering antique texts and dodging rival assassins across two continents.
