This time Gibbins hero is excavating near Troy. With a very limited time on the site and in the water nearby, the whole team we have come to know in previous books are here. Each working within their own specialty. Using the records left by Schliemann, they continue the original excavations, discovering the truth behind the victory by the Greeks and the real meaning of the Trojan Horse. Also chasing the Schliemann treasure is a group of who want to re-create the Nazi regime by finding some of the looted art treasures. They believe that stored with these treasures are weapons of mass destruction that can be upgraded and used in the modern world. But the treasure they are seeking, the Mask of Agamemnon, is deep in a flooded cave in Poland. Jack and Costas are the only divers who are likely to reach the treasure, but the problem is how to make them cooperate.
For a change, I felt that the neo-Nazi link was a bit flimsy. OK

The Mask of Troy
There are just some books that I am always happy to receive for review. And this was one of them.

As an archaeologist himself, he can create a plot that makes you think it just could be true
