The Sacred Vault McDermott, Andy

Archaeologist Nina Wilde and ex-SGA operative Eddie Chase are back, this time hunting for the legendary Talonor Codex — a 3,000-year-old text that might reveal the location of the world's oldest vault, filled with treasures that could rewrite human history. The problem? They're not the only ones looking. A shadowy cult wants the vault opened, a ruthless billionaire wants it for himself, and Nina and Eddie are caught in a deadly race across continents, dodging bullets and ancient traps. Andy McDermott writes action-thriller archaeology like a Hollywood blockbuster on paper — think *Indiana Jones* meets *The Bourne Identity*, with witty banter and explosions in equal measure. If you like your adventure novels fast, fun, and completely unapologetic about being entertaining, this is for you.
