Nick Kismet

On the bloody battlefields of Iraq, one man's quest to find God will unleash hell. For more than a decade, Nick Kismet has traveled the world protecting priceless relics and cultural heritage sites from looters while searching for answers to the mystery that has haunted him since the first Gulf War - a mystery that has defined his life. Now, a new war has brought him back to the bloody battlefield where his search began.

Nick Kismet will go anywhere, do anything, to protect the treasures of the ancient world. But to stop an ancient symbol of power from becoming a weapon of unimaginable terror, he'll have to go further than he's ever gone before.... When an old college flame tries to entice him into smuggling a precious relic into the Unites States, Nick Kismet knows there's something more going on. But before he can get at the truth, a former rival appears out of nowhere, inviting Kismet to join him on a search for the mythical Golden Fleece.

The greatest treasures from the ancient world have been brought together in one place - a magnificent floating exhibition aboard a luxury cruise liner - and the wealthy, powerful and famous have come to bask in the glow of ancient riches. Unfortunately, someone is about to crash the party in a big way. When Nick Kismet foils an attempted pirate takeover of the cruise ship and rescues the lovely Elisabeth Neuell, little does he suspect that he has been drawn into a dangerous game controlled by diabolical occult scholar Dr. John Leed.
