« Boyd Morrison est le roi Midas du thriller : il transforme tout ce qu''il touche en or. » Chris Kuzneski, auteur du Signe de la croix « Un mélange électrifiant d''histoire, de mythe et de science. » Publishers Weekly Désamorcer une bombe cachée sur un ferry bondé en moins de dix minutes : une mission pour l''ingénieur militaire Tyler Locke - ou plutôt un test orchestré dans l''ombre par un génie criminel, qui a kidnappé le père de Tyler pour faire pression sur lui. Forcé de coopérer, Tyler doit alors se lancer dans une quête en apparence improbable : retrouver le trésor perdu du roi Midas. Il ne dispose que d''un seul indice, un manuscrit crypté peut-être écrit de la main d''Archimède lui-même. Avec l''aide de Stacy Benedict, une linguiste ayant reçu les mêmes menaces, Tyler se lance dans une course effrénée à travers l''Italie, l''Allemagne, la Grèce et les rues de New York. Ils ont à peine cinq jours pour résoudre une énigme qui résiste à l''humanité depuis deux mille ans...

When a violent bank heist during the Monaco Grand Prix decimates the Corporation''s accounts, Juan joins forces with an old friend from his days in the CIA so they can track down a rogue hacker and a ruthless former Ukrainian naval officer. It is only after the hunt begins that the enormity of the plan comes into focus: the bank theft is just the first step in a plot that will result in the deaths of millions and bring the world''s economies to a standstill. The catalyst for the scheme? A document stolen during Napoleon''s disastrous invasion of Russia... and two hundred years later, it may be the thing that brings Europe to its knees.

An exhilarating thriller from the internationally bestselling author of The Ark and The Vault! Chemistry grad student Kevin Hamilton is sure his advisor Michael Ward''s death in a suspicious fire was no accident. The young Ph.D. candidate received a cryptic message from Ward just before the fatal blaze--a warning that their recent collaboration on a supposedly failed experiment had actually brought about one of the most important discoveries of the century: Adamas, a chemical process worth billions, and one with the potential to topple entire industries. Now on the run with his girlfriend, Erica, the two must elude relentless assassins long enough to protect the top-secret information, thwart a global conspiracy, and save their own lives before time runs out. (Previously published as The Adamas Blueprint.)

National bestselling author Boyd Morrison brings back Tyler Locke, who must race to stop a terrorist cell that has stolen an ancient text related to the tale of King Midas in this, “heart-thumping ride…not to be missed” (Steve Berry). Tyler Locke’s routine commute on a Washington State ferry is interrupted by a chilling anonymous call: his father has been kidnapped, and a truck bomb is set to detonate on board in twenty minutes. When Tyler reaches the bomb on the boat’s car deck, he’s stunned to find classical languages expert Stacy Benedict waiting for him. She’s received the same threat, and her sister has also been taken. In order to disarm the bomb, Tyler and Stacy must work together to solve an engineering puzzle—a puzzle written in ancient Greek. But preventing the explosion is only the first step; they soon learn the entire setup is a test created by a ruthless criminal who forces them to go on a seemingly impossible mission: uncover the legendary lost riches of King Midas. Tyler and Stacy have just five days to track down the gold. Armed with an ancient manuscript penned by brilliant Greek inventor Archimedes, they begin a quest to unravel a two-thousand-year-old mystery whose answer is hidden within the workings of a cryptic artifact: the Antikythera Mechanism, a device designed by Archimedes himself. To save their loved ones and prevent their captors from recovering a treasure that will finance unspeakable devastation, the two scramble to Italy, Germany, Greece, and finally to the streets of New York City in a race against the clock to find the truth behind the story of King Midas. The Vault combines an explosive premise and blistering pace with a fascinating exploration of one of history’s most intriguing inventors and a brilliant reimagining of an ancient legend.

In just one hour, Kai will lose all he has ever known—including his wife and daughter— unless he can save them from nature’s most destructive force.

Dilara Kenner, een ambitieuze jonge archeologe, is getuige van de moord op een oude vriend. Zijn laatste woorden waarschuwen haar voor een complot rond de Ark, een historisch artefact dat de kracht zou bezitten om de Bijbelse Zondvloed op te roepen. Hij draagt haar op voormalig militair ingenieur Tyler Locke te vinden, de enige die haar kan helpen. Als Dilara op zoek gaat naar Locke, wordt ook zij het doelwit van de moordenaars. Alleen Lockes ingrijpen redt haar van een zekere dood. In een race tegen de klok moeten ze het geheim van de Ark ontrafelen en voorkomen dat de beschaving opnieuw vernietigd wordt.

In nationally bestselling author Boyd Morrison’s debut, the unraveling of one of the greatest archeological mysteries from the bible—Noah’s Ark—could threaten civilization itself in this blockbuster hailed by James Rollins as “a stunning thriller.” When brilliant archaeologist Dilara Kenner is contacted by Sam Watson, an old family friend who says that he has crucial information about her missing father, Dilara abandons her Peruvian dig and rushes to Los Angeles to meet him. But at the airport, Sam speaks instead of Noah’s Ark—the artifact her father had long been searching for—and the possible death of billions. Before Sam can explain, he collapses. With his dying breath, he urges Dilara to find Tyler Locke—a man she’s never heard of. Two days later Dilara manages to track down former combat engineer Tyler Locke on an oil rig off Newfoundland. Her helicopter transport goes down well short of the oil rig’s landing pad and Dilara and those aboard nearly drown. No sooner is Dilara safely on the rig than she convinces Tyler the crash was no accident. Tyler agrees to help her uncover the secret behind Noah’s Ark and, more important, her father''s disappearance. As the picture begins to come into focus, they realize they have just seven days to find the Ark before its secret is used to wipe out civilization once again. With a chilling premise and a blistering pace, Boyd Morrison combines all the best elements of a blockbuster thriller with an intelligent and fascinating exploration of one of the Old Testament’s great mysteries.
