<b>A MAP TO ALEXANDER THE GREAT’S LOST TREASURE TURNS AN EXPEDITION INTO A MURDER HUNT.</b><br>
Captain Gordon is hired to fly a team of American anthropologists into Makran, an arid mountain region near the Arabian Sea. Their expedition begins as a search for knowledge. Then someone breaks open an ancient pottery jar and finds a map.<br>
The map points to a treasure lost for more than two thousand years—the spoils Alexander the Great’s army carried back from India before thousands of soldiers and camp followers died in the desert.<br>
Suddenly scholarship no longer matters.<br>
Greed takes over, arguments sharpen and one of the anthropologists is murdered. Gordon is found standing over the body, and the men who hired him no longer know whether he is their pilot—or the killer.<br>
With the treasure somewhere in the mountains and suspicion closing around him, Gordon has to survive an expedition in which every man has acquired a reason to lie, steal or kill.<br>
<i>Tomb of the Ten Thousand Dead</i> is fast-paced historical fiction and action adventure fiction combining lost treasure, archaeological mystery, murder and survival in a remote desert landscape.<br>

L. Ron Hubbard
With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most acclaimed and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard.
