Early 1989: in the USSR communism is about to collapse. In China civil war is brewing. And an American archaeologist is about to discover an extraordinary secret. Dr Sally Parsons' ambition to excavate the tomb of the ruthless first emperor of China is dashed when she is mysteriously fired from the project. Then Sally agrees to deliver a computer disk to a contact in China - in return for access to the tomb. But the explosive secret the disk reveals is a prize worth killing for. If she survives, Sally's dream of an unprecedented archaeological coup might be within her grasp - but it could turn into a nightmare for millions.

More About the Author
I'm a foreign correspondent and the author of best-selling international thrillers. In The History Book, I've used interviews with hundreds of people in dozens of different of countries to draw a credible picture of a scary near-future world and I've created within it Kat Polinski, a bright, vulnerable, unsettled heroine. The first reviews rave about the concept and describe Kat as fabulous, the type of heroine we love to root for. The issues are total government surveillance, contracted out to private companies who control energy supplies for their own gain. True or false? The realistic backdrops match my Dragon trilogy of future global wars and the three stand alone thrillers, mostly set in Asia. But with Kat, I've tried something more ambitious, so please let me know if you think it works.
I live in London and travel crazily. Most recently, I've reported from (in alphabetical order) Brazil, Cyprus, India, Iraq, Israel, Kosovo, Sweden and all over the US. My website is www.humphreyhawksley.com Send me your thoughts on The History Book or any of my reports. One thing I love is lively debate.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Red Spirit (1) (Kindle Edition)
But the typos, mispellings, formating errors in the Kindle version put me off. It really looks like a rough draft!
