Top British Agent Addison Black is back and this time M.I.5Æs latest recruit Dr Skyler Tidwell accompanies her on an assignment that takes them from the undiscovered tombs of Egypt to the deepest jungle of Sierra Leone. On an undercover mission to assist investigating into the murder of a team of archaeologists, Addison and Skyler discover not only the resting place of EgyptÆs most legendary architect, but also priceless artefacts, precious gems, deadly retribution and a plot to bring down and hold the world at ransom.
I might actually like this one more than Addison and Skyler's first adventure, Black's Magic, because we get to see them working together and kicking ass as agents in the field. Another great story from MJ. Read it, or be flogged with a wet noodle! - Arassar - Mar-09-2007    How did I miss this? What a great story, two great characters kicking some butt, mystery, suspense, well written, fast paced -- perfect. More please! - juliemania - Feb-05-2009    So glad I found this author and her stories. MJ spins one heck of a tale. Very well written. Action packed and engaging stories. One of the best authors on the site. Don't miss anything she's done. Highly recommended. - Anonymous - Nov-13-2010    i can't help but wonder why so few people have rated and commented on this story.. it is one hell of a ride.. uh, read.. with a time span of over 7000 years, the author nails every aspect and provides us a glimpse into the future.. this story is a little less funny than "black's magic", but that's the only minor flaw in this very well written novel.. - xtra dog - Jan-14-2012
