A Templar bell that sank before Columbus. An archaeological adventure thriller with an impossible secret at its core.Over 800,000 copies sold. Fernando Gamboa is Spain's #1 bestselling action and adventure author.Off the coast of Utila, Honduras, diver Ulysses Vidal recovers a 14th-century bronze bell of Templar origin from the seafloor.
The unsettling detail? It sank there more than a century before Columbus ever reached America. A discovery that defies known history, and points to a past that some have kept carefully buried for centuries.
Ulysses does not look for trouble. Trouble tends to find him. Joined by Eduardo, a history professor most comfortable inside a library, and Cassandra, a marine archaeologist with a force-of-nature personality and zero patience for the word impossible, he follows a trail that runs from the Caribbean to Spain, across the Sahara, and deep into the jungles of Mexico.
What they are chasing is not just the lost treasure of the Knights Templar. It is a secret that could change not only the history of humankind, but the way we understand the universe.
And yet the most fascinating thing about this adventure is not the riddles, nor the enemies hunting them. It is how this trio of antiheroes faces it all: surprising you with wit and audacity at every turn.
Fast-paced, packed with unpredictable twists, and laced with humor, THE LAST CRYPT is a modern pulp adventure with a twist ending you will never see coming.
