Prep school friends Jay Wray, Alyssa Garret, and Conrad Kingston travel to Egypt to study the history of its glorious past. Their friend and world-renowned antiquities dealer, Geoffrey Barnsworth, leads them into the fascinating archeological world of pharaohs, mummies, and treasures beyond belief. The quiet trip quickly erupts into a cat and mouse game, pitting them against a mastermind terrorist who guards a 3,000-year-old secret. Crumbling tombs, hieroglyph messages, and stolen artifacts draw them into an ever deepening and dangerous plot for control of the Egyptian people. The History Hunters struggle to evade a shadowy web of danger and deceit while they search for the secret behind the group who threatens the very security of the world.
