The Sacred Weapon
(2020)(The first book in the Tom Wagner Adventure series)
A novel by Roberts & Maclay
Stolen relics. Devious plans. Questionable allegiances. Fear grips Europe.
Tom Wagner is bored with his job. His work with the elite antiterror unit Cobra consists mainly of pointless exercises and guarding politicians – until he suddenly spots his parents‘ killer in an airport and survives a brutal attack in the treasure chamber of Vienna’s imperial palace.
Suddenly, he and his ex-girlfriend, archaelogist Hellen de Mey, are caught up in a web of international intrigue. A shadowy criminal organization is stealing ancient Christian artifacts all over Europe, and soon Tom and Hellen are racing against time to save a sacred weapon from the hands of ruthless terrorists . . . and thwart a monstrous plot that could shake the world to its foundations.
Read The Secret Weapon, the book fans of Dan Brown’s iconic Robert Langdon and Clive Cussler’s Dirk Pitt will rave, won’t want to miss.
Our thrilled readers:
“I like it! Short chapters, quick scene changes and themes taken from today’s news make a lot of things easy to understand. The detailed descriptions of locations alternate with a bird’s-eye view, and the authors manage to make every chapter compact and exciting. With the last sentence, it’s clear that marketing experts know how to write – when is Volume 2 coming out?”
“Exhilarating, great writing! A nice mixture of Dan Brown, James Bond, Jason Bourne, and a little Viennese humor thrown in for good measure. Solid research on the locations and surprising plot twists. All in all, a successful debut, definitely worth reading. Looking forward to the second installment!”
“My expectations weren’t just met, they were exceeded. The entertaining and sometimes peculiar characters and the detailed historical backgrounds and locations make the book a real pleasure to read. The writing style is short and concise, no convoluted sentences – I like it! Normally I’m not interested in world religions or their history, but with Tom Wagner I was happy to be on board! In short: I’m going to be a repeat offender. ;)”
“I’m a huge Dan Brown fan, and I was a little skeptical at the beginning – but Tom Wagner won me over after just a few pages! Great book, looking forward to more!”
Genre: Thriller
