The
first exciting book in a bold new
series of Lara Croft novels tying
directly into the popular video games.
The Amulet of Power reveals the never-before
shown events that took place between
The Last Revelation and Angel of Darkness.
Trapped
beneath the ruins of an Egyptian tomb,
Lara faces certain death until fate
intervenes and sets her on the trail
of an ancient talisman of power.
Archaeologist
and explorer Lara Croft travels the
world in search of ancient relics,
forgotten crypts, and lost cities.
Highly trained for combat and possessing
an insatiable appetite for adventure,
she answers to no one and goes wherever
the quest takes her–heedless of the
danger.
When
Lara turns up in the Middle East,
despite the rumors of her death, religious
fanatics believe she has located the
coveted Amulet of Mareish. Lost since
the siege of Khartoum, the amulet
is rumored to grant the wearer untold
power. Some long to possess it, others
want to see it destroyed, and both
sides pursue Lara relentlessly.
While
she fights trained warriors and ruthless
mercenaries, and desperately searches
for the jewel they all seek, one thing
becomes clear: the fate of the world
rests in the hands of Lara Croft.
