In 2006, the Tartarus Rotation will come again, but the Capstone is nowhere to be found.

With the fate of global dominance hanging in the balance, nearly
every world power sends forth its troops to locate the Capstone. Among
them are the United States, the European Union, Israel, ruthless
terrorists, and one other unusual force: a coalition of seven smaller
nations that have decided that the Capstone is too powerful for any one
country to hold.

So they band together against all odds and send
an eight-man team to take on all the great forces in the chase. Led by
an Australian super-soldier named Jack West Jr., the team includes a
Canadian professor, two crack Irish commandos (one of whom is female), a
Spanish paratrooper, a Jamaican soldier, an Arab commando, and a
daredevil New Zealand pilot. And with them always is a little girl named
Lily, the ten-year-old daughter of the Oracle of Siwa-- one of only two
people in the world who can decode an ancient text that leads to the
Capstone.

This stalwart group embarks on a global journey filled
with booby-trapped mines, stupendous ancient wonders, gigantic evil
forces, and adventure beyond imagination.
