Praise for this book
"Move over Indiana Jones, Captain Moxley has arrived and she won’t ask you twice! A secret organisation, otherworldly treasures and terrors, and one kick-ass heroine make this an action-packed read!" - Amanda Bridgeman
"Author Dan Hanks sets his war-weary protagonist on a pulp-paced adventure--cunning traps, ancient maps, and brutal scraps... semi-retired Nazis, aggressive corpses, and family drama. It's a giddy, white-knuckled ride to the very end." - R W W Greene
"In the style of Sky Captain and Indiana Jones, Dan Hanks delivers a rip-roaring pulp adventure full of supernatural artefacts and boobytraps, insurmountable odds, and irredeemable villains. Sam Moxley is a hero full of style and panache we love to root for. What more can anyone ask for?" - Michael F Haspil
"Can a book at once beg for a prequel as much as a sequel? Dan Hanks' debut does both, pushing the reader to confront the past as it thunders ahead, in a nonstop archaeological adventure that nods to The Last Crusade, Romancing the Stone, Fury Road, and Hellboy, all led by a weary, yet magnetic protagonist who can't seem to escape from the path she has chosen." - Chris Panatier
"So cinematic, you can taste the buttered popcorn." - SA Sidor
