The Takers

By Jerry Ahern

Book Number 1 in the Takers Series.

Josh Culhane, two-fisted adventurer who’ll go anywhere, do anything, teams up with the sexy scholar Mary Mulrooney in breathtaking pursuit of the satanic Steiglitz and his slinky, psychotic daughter. The boldhearted couple races to grab a power so great that world leaders would risk death to get it.

Culhane and Mulrooney battle halfway across the globe, through all the labyrinths of human history and myth, to a last stand beneath the Antarctic ice cap, where they find an ancient starbase whose builders had never gotten home.
