About the book: year / France, early 19th century. American Ethan Gage, who came to Paris on business, wins an ancient medallion at the card table, allegedly made in Egypt and once belonging to Queen Cleopatra. This golden disk, covered with strange symbols, undoubtedly holds some secrets. But Gage does not have time to find out: that same night he is falsely accused of murder and is forced to flee France. He manages to join a group of scientists going with Napoleon on an Egyptian expedition. Arriving in this exotic country, Gage begins to suspect that the medallion will help solve one of the greatest mysteries in the world - the mystery of the Great Pyramid. An ancient medallion, covered with incomprehensible symbols, helps American adventurer Ethan Gage unravel one of the greatest mysteries in the world - the mystery of the Great Pyramid of Egypt. Once in the Holy Land, Gage undertakes a persistent search for an ancient Egyptian scroll saturated with magic. At the same time, Napoleon Bonaparte begins his invasion of Israel and is defeated at the Battle of Acre. A French general hopes that the secrets of ancient magic will help him gain strength and power. But only Gage has the key that can awaken the magical powers dormant in the scroll... 1800. American adventurer Ethan Gage carries out secret assignments for Napoleon Bonaparte, seduces his sister and witnesses the Battle of Marengo in Italy. Having met the mysterious Norwegian Magnus Bloodhammer in Paris, Ethan Gage goes with him to America in search of evidence of the presence of the Scandinavians there in the Middle Ages, the main one of which is the hammer of Thor, the powerful weapon of the ancient Scandinavian god. On the way to their goal, they face many dangers: confrontation with wild nature, battles with bloodthirsty Indians, treachery and betrayal of followers of Egyptian Freemasonry. The famous adventurer Ethan Gage did not come to Paris to start another adventure - on the contrary, the hot American dreamed of a vacation. But such is his fate - to constantly attract the most incredible incidents to himself like a magnet. As a result of a chain of misadventures, Ethan ended up in the palace... to Napoleon Bonaparte himself, while breaking the law many times. However, he promised forgiveness to his old acquaintance if Gage fulfilled one assignment. He had to deal with one ancient mystery - Napoleon was sure that it hid the location of the all-destructive weapon that France needed so much. Ethan rushed headlong into another adventure, in which he was accompanied by several old friends - and many more old enemies who also dreamed of unraveling this disastrous mystery... Having reunited with his wife and little son, the famous adventurer Ethan Gage decided that he had had enough of adventures and dangers - the time has come to retire and enjoy quiet family happiness. But alas, these dreams were not destined to come true. Finding himself in Paris and trying to sell his battle trophy - a huge emerald - Gage fell into the clutches of Napoleonic gendarmes. They captured his family and threatened that they would kill them without pity if Ethan did not help the gendarmes find the ancient Aztec treasure from which that same emerald was once taken. Gage has no choice - and he again embarks on a most dangerous adventure... Contents: "Ethan Gage"1. Pyramids of Napoleon (Translation: Margarita Yurkan)2.
