Synopsis

Part One – England 50BC.  A Celtic symbol of power and wealth, wrought from white gold, a trophy for a king.

Luaine Mac Lanis, the metal smith responsible for its creation, is commanded by an old friend to make a magnificent Torc.  He knows nothing of the curse surrounding the strange metal or the circumstances of its arrival in Britain, because of this he will pay the ultimate price.

The Torc brings death to those who wear it and when the King of the Belgae tribe collapses and dies whilst delivering an important ceremony, his people cannot rest until the Gods have been appeased.  The only way to lift the curse is to offer the Torc to the Gods, a horrific human sacrifice in which the creator of the piece must die.

Part Two – Two thousand years later the Torc is listed on the inventory of a sunken ship. 

The Hudson Bay, a cargo ship lying on the seabed off the coast of Portugal, is laden with Nazi gold and treasures stolen during World War Two.

Dr Orlagh Gairne, a leading archaeologist working for the National Museum of Ireland, is sent to investigate.  She is instructed to work with Jack Harrington and his crew of salvage experts.  It’s Orlagh’s job to identify the Torc and ensure its safe delivery to the museum, but the operation is not as straightforward as expected.  The survey ship they are working on is attacked and sunk by terrorists who are also seeking the treasure.  During a daring escape from their stricken vessel Orlagh and Roz Stacey, one of the ships engineers, are kidnapped and held hostage by the terrorists.  The women are taken on a journey across Portugal, Spain and on towards the coast of Africa.

With Jack and his team in pursuit, the story reaches its climax on two small remote islands from where the terrorists plan to launch an attack on the Western world.  Two sinister weapons, Gog and Magog, named after biblical giants, remain concealed in their silos.  Jack is aware of the imminent attack but has no idea that it could escalate into a global catastrophe on an unimaginable scale.

Time is running out and he must discover the location of the kidnapped women whilst uncovering the full extent of the terrorists’ plot.  Aided by his team of mercenaries and an historical expert, they unearth a wave of hatred spreading across Europe.

With the past weaving tightly with the present, Jack uncovers a deadly plan for world domination.  He foils the terrorists by preventing the weapons from destroying their targets but he fails to capture the ringleaders who manage to escape, taking the Belgae Torc with them.
