Gold of the Lost Empire: A Lost Origins Novel

Legendary gold. A mythical city. A race like no other.
1976: years after becoming the first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong leads a 100-strong expedition into the Ecuadorian rainforest, searching for the Tayos Gold – a rumoured repository of golden books, thought to have been written by a higher intelligence than humans. The team of explorers and scientists find nothing except more questions.
Now: when Prihya Sibal is kidnapped by a foe from her past, Jules Sibeko and the Lost Origins Recovery Institute learn she was exploring an ancient site on the island of Malta. Following her trail, and a cipher that unlocks an ancient navigation device, it is clear she was close to unlocking the true location of the Tayos Gold.
And now a religious cult, funded by billionaire Valerio Conchin, is one step ahead.
Using a combination of recently uncovered ancient technology and state of the art computer modeling, Jules leads a team of his own into the remote Amazonian region to discover whether Armstrong’s mission was a fantasy, or simply looking in the wrong place.
A mystery to solve, a fight to control the Tayos Gold, and a race to an ancient city beyond the rainforest all adds up to another epic archaeological thriller for the Lost Origins team.
Gold of the Lost Empire is the fifth book in this action adventure series, and promises to be the biggest thrill ride yet.
