Herculean (Cerberus Group Book 1)

THE SECRET MUST BE KEPT... <br /> <br />For three thousand years, the Herculean Society has preserved the legacy of the ancient hero, Hercules, protecting history€s fragile relics from humanity, and humanity from the dangerous truths behind the legends. Now, the Society€s new leader, archaeologist George Pierce, faces his first test: the Cerberus Group. The shadowy organization has two goals: the collection and distribution of black market relics, tech and secrets, and the purge of those deemed unfit for survival. <br /> <br />Pierce and his niece, Fiona€"the last guardian of the €˜mother tongue,€ the forgotten language of creation€"discover a secret entrance to the legendary Labyrinth, and at its heart, a hidden trove of relics that point the way to Hercules€s greatest discovery: a mutagen that can rewrite the very code of life. When a surprise attack leaves Pierce and Fiona trapped in the deadly maze, fighting for their lives, the race to stop the Cerberus Group begins. <br /> <br />To defeat this new enemy, Pierce must assemble a team of experts including Felice Carter, a geneticist with a dangerous secret, Augustina Gallo, a mythology professor, Cintia Dourado, a high tech hacker, and Lazarus, a dead soldier returned to life. <br /> <br />Guided by their knowledge of science, history and mythology, Pierce€s team sets out on an epic journey, following in the footsteps of Hercules, to stop Cerberus from controlling the power that rises from the Well of Monsters. <br /> <br />...OR THE WORLD WILL BE CLEANSED. <br /> <br />Jeremy Robinson and Sean Ellis, the international bestselling team behind the Jack Sigler thrillers, including Savage and Cannibal, return with a new series that rewrites the way we see history. Rivaling the best of Matthew Reilly and James Rollins, Herculean combines a blistering pace with fringe science and myths reborn.
