Welcome to the IAA. The International Archaeological Agency operates out of Atlanta, Georgia, and is focused primarily on securing and transporting artifacts. Now and then, IAA agents are required to go beyond that mission statement and venture into dangerous, uncharted waters. The fact you're looking at this book says you're ready to join the adventure with the agents of the IAA, and enter a whole new world of discovery. Ernest Dempsey blends elements from political, pulp, historical, travel, action and adventure, and conspiracy thrillers into a ripping hot, up tempo action story that will keep you pinned to the pages until you have to turn just one more. Each book represents hundreds of hours of research into history, secret societies, ancient cultures, and legends. These stories read like Indiana Jones, the Goonies, and John Wick combined with Clive Cussler, James Rollins, Steve Berry, and Dan Brown. Welcome aboard. Enjoy the adventure.
