Book 4 in the Area 51 series Dr. Lisa Duncan and Special Forces officer Mike Turcotte know better than anyone that no secret is safe for long--especially one that offers untold power. Case in point: no sooner does Turcotte's elite Area 51 team uncover a dormant alien ship in earth orbit than a group of alien-human hybrids seizes it and uses its technology to commandeer a satellite array bristling with nuclear missiles. Now they're demanding that humankind hand over the key to an ancient stash of alien technology.or watch an entire continent be reduced to atomic rubble. Doom seems certain, as the required key is believed lost to the ages--until an unwitting anthropologist discovers the first of many clues to its hiding place. As Duncan and Turcotte race to reach the key--and the powerful treasure it can unlock--ahead of their alien foes, the quest leads them deep into a deadly maze within the Great Sphinx of Giza. The prize? Nothing less than the legendary Ark of the Covenant.

Have the highest echelons of power already been breached?
The U.S. government knows--but they're not telling....
For thousands of years it has harbored mankind's greatest secret. Now someone or something has found the key to...The Sphinx.
No place is safe from alien infiltration. Not even top secret Area 51. Scientist Lisa Duncan and Special Forces officer Mike Turcotte know that better than anyone. Secrets have been revealed. Codes have been broken. A countdown has begun. Using alien technology, a group has gained control of a Star Wars satellite that could engulf the planet in a nuclear fire. With no room for error, Turcotte and Duncan must race to solve an ancient riddle and prevent a global catastrophe.
Joined by a secret band of renegades, Mike and Lisa must travel to Egypt in a frantic search for answers. There they make a startling discovery: the key to the mysterious Ark of the Covenant, a true record of mankind's origins. But the artifact is hidden deep within the inner sanctum of the Great Sphinx of Giza. And Lisa and Mike are not alone in their quest. An anthropologist is one step ahead of them, and aliens close behind, as hunters and hunted race to uncover the secret of the Sphinx. Even if it means Armageddon...
