You never know what's buried beneath the sands of time ...While in Cairo, Egypt, amateur archaeologist Doon receives word that a hidden vault has been unearthed deep beneath the Great Pyramid of Giza. Along with his sidekick Amon, a local who works at the Giza Plateau, Doon sneaks into a subterranean chamber to see the vault for himself. But what Doon and Amon come across is more than just a long-lost buried room, and they soon find themselves embarking on a journey that will ultimately rewrite the history books. Over a three-day period, Doon discovers hidden secrets, forgotten histories, and treasures beyond imagination-all while trying to evade a shadowy group that's willing to kill to obtain a powerful artifact supposedly stored within the vault. Along the way, Doon learns things about himself-including clues about his own mysterious past and of what his future might hold. And while Doon has a reputation as an explorer and a playboy, he is also known as a prankster and a prolific storyteller-and like the boy who cried wolf, he has a hard time convincing his friend Amon that the things they've just uncovered are as mind-boggling as he claims they are. An adventure with never-ending plot twists and a little bit of humor, The Mighty Maldoon will leave you staring up at the night sky with renewed wonder.
