Whilst this episode in the annals of The Project does not follow as a result of the previous book, there are elements carrying over. One of the team has left primarily for fitness reasons, although age also has a little to do with it. So a new member has to be inducted into the group, one Diego Rodriguez, who, after initial problems, including trying to take on Selina in hand to hand combat, appears to fit in pretty well.
The Project becomes involved with following up an explosion destroying a train in France, a rogue former MI6 agent, and a Lebanese businessman intent on finding what he believes to be the mystical ring of King Solomon.
Most of the action takes place in the Middle East, but a car crash in Washington, almost killing two people important to The Project, gives the team an additional incentive to track down hidden treasure as well as the power hungry businessman.
There is action a plenty, an intriguing denouement, and, finally, yet another bomb to spur me on to reading the next episode in the series. ( )

Yet another very enjoyable read in this little know but incredibly consistent Series. I have now read all the first 10 and have enjoyed each and everyone in it's own way, with all being rated between 4 and 4.5 stars. This one revolves around the discovery that could lead to the location of King Solomon's body will the Americans, Israelis and a ruthless Lebanese all in the hunt. Do give this series a try if you enjoy a mixture of espionage, intrigue, history and action. ( )

I have not read other books in this series, and that did confuse me for a bit at first, but not for too long. The characters drew me into the story.

I was drawn to the book by the title and its Biblical reference. I appreciated the historical parts though I'm not well read enough to know if most of it is truth or just the author's imagination.

Solomon was a Biblical king whose burial place is apparently unknown. A professor has an idea to use a newer scanning method to try to read a scroll that is so damaged, it can't be unrolled to read. The scan reveals some new information that is of interest to several different countries.

Nick Carter's team is looking to replace a member they lost. They get pulled into the search for Solomon's burial place and treasure. ( )
