Description

THE POWER TO RULE THE WORLD OR SET US ALL FREE.

When an undiscovered temple emerges from the waters of a drought-stricken lake, the world of archaeology starts to pay attention.

On the discovery of a set of hieroglyphs suggesting the location of an ancient power source so abundant it could boil the world’s oceans dry, a lot more people start to listen.

Enter EDEN BLACK.

With forest fires, droughts, and famine worldwide, Eden and her band of unlikely heroes must move quickly to make sure this lifeline for humankind doesn’t become another asset for the super-rich.

From Lake Nasser to the labyrinthine tunnels beneath The Giza Plateau, Eden will find herself trapped in the crosshairs of a tycoon on the make, an enigmatic secret society, and a foe who’s closer to home than she could ever imagine.

FAQ

What is The Giza Protocol about?

The Giza Protocol picks up where The Ark Files left off.

The ancient tablets Eden uncovered are being translated at Cambridge University — and what they reveal sends her to Egypt. At the heart of the book is one of archaeology’s most tantalising theories: the Hall of Records, a legendary ancient library said to be buried somewhere beneath the Giza Plateau, containing knowledge of a civilisation far older and more advanced than the one history books describe. Eden needs to find it before the Council of Selene, the shadowy organisation that has been suppressing exactly this kind of discovery for centuries, can stop her.


Running alongside Eden’s present-day investigation is a second story set in Cairo in 1987, following a nighttime security guard on the Giza Plateau who makes a discovery beneath the pyramids that will haunt the rest of his life — and change the course of Eden’s mission.

The primary goal is the Hall of Records — a mythical ancient library, first described by American clairvoyant Edgar Cayce, believed to be hidden beneath the Giza Plateau and containing the accumulated knowledge of a lost civilisation. Ancient historians including Herodotus and Flavius Josephus describe a very different history for the Giza Plateau than the one taught in schools, and the tablets from The Ark Files appear to point directly to it.


But The Giza Protocol also brings the Ark of the Covenant into the story — a real and deeply mysterious artefact with electricity-like properties described in ancient texts, whose connection to the pyramids and their possible function as a power generation system forms one of the book’s most compelling threads. The author’s note explores the real science behind this — including Christopher Dunn’s theory about the Queen’s Chamber, and the role of Element 115 — the synthetic element made infamous by Robert Lazar and his revelations about Area 51.

Significantly more than you might expect.

The Hall of Records is a real theory, supported by ancient writers including Herodotus and Flavius Josephus. The Sun Temple that appears from the receding waters of Lake Nasser in the story is based on a real event — structures genuinely were revealed as water levels dropped to record lows. The idea that the Giza Plateau represents a map of the solar system was proposed twenty years ago by researcher Terence Maxwell, accounting for all ten pyramids in correct order. The Ark of the Covenant’s electricity-like properties — people struck down on contact, its apparent ability to float like an electromagnet, its battery-like construction — are all drawn from real ancient descriptions. And Element 115, the stable synthetic element at the heart of the story’s energy conspiracy, is real — first synthesised in 2003 and officially recognised in 2015.

As with The Ark Files, the threads are real. The story pulls them together.

At the start of The Giza Protocol, Eden is in the Himalayas — volunteering with a remote Nepali village, teaching English, doing physical work, trying to find some quiet after the events of The Ark Files. It doesn’t last long. When Cambridge University’s translation of the ancient tablets throws up a reference to the Hall of Records, she’s pulled back into action.

This book deepens our understanding of who Eden is — her instincts, her loyalties, and the strength of the cause she’s fighting for. She also crosses paths briefly here with Allissa Stockwell, one of the main characters in my International Detectives series.

The book opens briefly in a remote Himalayan village in Nepal before moving to England before on to Egypt. There are short scenes in London, Cambridge University, and New York too.


Cairo and Giza are the most important settings of the story, from the chaotic streets of Nazlet-El-Samman in the shadow of the Great Pyramid to the Giza Plateau itself. The book also travels south to Lake Nasser, where a submerged Sun Temple is surfacing from the dropping waters, its walls potentially containing inscriptions that could unlock the mystery of the tablets.

Very much so. The Giza Protocol takes the genre into some of its most fascinating territory — the real mysteries of ancient Egypt, the unanswered questions about the pyramids, the Hall of Records, the Ark of the Covenant, and the growing body of evidence that the Giza Plateau is considerably older and stranger than mainstream archaeology has been willing to accept. If you’ve ever read Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval, or Andrew Collins and wanted to see those ideas turned into a thriller, this is the book.

Readers who loved The Ark Files, and anyone drawn to ancient Egypt’s deeper mysteries — the pyramids, the Sphinx, the Hall of Records, and the questions about who really built these structures and why.

Fans of Indiana Jones, Dan Brown, Clive Cussler, or anyone who has spent an evening reading about Edgar Cayce, the Book of Enoch, or the Dead Sea Scrolls. Also anyone who has ever wondered whether the history of human civilisation might stretch considerably further back than we’ve been told.

As with The Ark Files, there is action and danger but nothing gratuitously violent or explicit. Older teenagers and adults who enjoy adventure fiction should find it a comfortable read.

Start with The Ark Files — it introduces Eden, her world, and the tablets that drive the series forward. The Giza Protocol is book two and picks up directly from where The Ark Files ends. Reading them in order will give you the full experience, though each book tells a complete story in its own right.

Eden Black just gets better and better! I couldn’t put this series down. Nonstop action, lots of emotion, and lots of turning the page to see what comes next. Bravo!
Reader of the The Ark Files
Blow the bloody doors off! Luke Richardson has given me more shivers and jumped up shouting from my seat in this series than I care to talk about. I can't express how much I love the Eden Black series.

Fans of Indiana Jones will love this book and series. I’m only disappointed that I have to wait for the next book to come out!
