Napoleon’s Pyramids

Description (from back of book)
Revolutionary Paris, 1798. Adventurer Ethan Gage - gambler, sharpshooter and pupil of the late Benjamin Franklin - wins a mysterious medallion in a card game. Within hours he is framed for murder and, facing the grim prospect of either prison or death, he barely escapes France with his life, choosing to accompany the ambitious young general Napoleon Bonaparte on his glorious mission to conquer Egypt.

With Horatio Nelson’s fleet following close behind, Gage sets out on the adventure of a lifetime. But even as he hurtles into war, Gage is pursued by shadowy enemies who seem determined to lay their hands on the baffling medallion, and the powers it could unlock, at all costs. In a race against time and terrain, he must find the answer to one of history’s greatest riddles, before it is too late…

The Rosetta Key

Set in the period between October of 1798 and November of 1799, “The Rosetta Key” continues the story of our hero, Ethan Gage, and his quest for the magical “Book of Thoth.” This scroll of wisdom may have been stolen from the Great Pyramid by Moses and carried by the Jews to their new kingdom of Israel some three thousand years ago. Whoever holds it will have the power to dominate the world. The novel also continues the story of Napoleon Bonaparte, retracing his 1799 invasion of Syria from his base in Cairo, his defeat at the Siege of Acre, and his eventual abandonment of his army in Egypt. It follows the general’s return to France, where he seized power in a coup in November of 1799. In the story, Napoleon’s henchmen seize the Book of Thoth from Gage in Syria. Once back in France, the conqueror uses a hurried translation of key passages to bewitch the French Assembly into approving his accession to power.The Book, it seems, has become Napoleon’s magic key, his grail. Ever the furtive thief, Gage manages to wrest the book back (and finally kills the central villain, Alessandro Silano) before Bonaparte can use its powers to assure his conquest of the world. It’s then off to America for Gage, who sees his home country as the best hiding place. Where will Gage go from here? Will he hide the beloved key in the wildernesses of the American South? Or will he opt for the cosmpolitan fanfares of Manhattan? “The Rosetta Key” presents William Dietrich at his fast-paced, cliffhanger best, in a tale that joins the Old and New World, the ancient and the modern, the emperor and the absconding explorer. For the many readers who loved “Napoleon’s Pyramids”, as well as all fans of historical thrillers, “The Rosetta Key” is another chance to marvel at Dietrich’s adept storytelling and at the death-defying feats of the inimitable Gage.

The Dakota Cypher

Ethan Gage wants to enjoy the fruits of victory after helping Napoleon win the Battle of Marengo. But an ill-advised tryst with Bonaparte’s married sister has made that impossible and he flees to America, accompanied by the wild Norwegian Magnus Bloodhammer.

With President Thomas Jefferson’s blessing, Ethan and Magnus embark upon an expedition into the western wilderness – keeping their eyes open for woolly elephants. But another prize secretly impels them: Thor’s mythical hammer, allegedly carried to North America more than a century before Columbus. Gage’s skills will be tested as never before as he braves unimaginable peril en route to the most incredible discovery of all time.

The Barbery Pirates

Ethan Gage is back in Paris, hoping to persuade Napoleon Bonaparte to sell the Louisiana Territory he explored in The Dakota Cipher to the United States. But when three famous scientists enlist Ethan to show them the bawdy wonders of the Palais Royale, he soon finds himself sucked into his most exciting, heart-wrenching, and funniest adventure yet.

Rumors of an ancient weapon on a volcanic Greek island pit Ethan and his scientist companions in a desperate race with the Barbary pirates – and with his Egyptian Rite nemesis Aurora Somerset – to
