Crypt of the Gladiator

FROM USA TODAY & MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR J. ROBERT KENNEDY

A LONG-LOST TREASURE.

A RUTHLESS ENEMY.

A DEADLY RACE AGAINST TIME.

A stunning discovery beneath the streets of Rome has the world watching in awe as an ancient crypt filled with the remains of gladiators stirs excitement among historians—and draws the attention of those willing to kill for its secrets.

When Professor James Acton and his team arrive to assist with the excavation, their archaeological adventure turns into a nightmare after a violent attack at the site that leaves one of their own fighting for her life, and loved ones kidnapped for insurance.

But the thieves aren’t just after history—they’re searching for a long-rumored treasure, hidden over a millennium ago when the Roman Empire teetered on the brink of collapse.

With the violent hostiles vanishing without a trace, Acton and his team must unravel an ancient map, outmaneuver deadly enemies, and survive a relentless band of insurgents—all while in pursuit of a former Spetsnaz team who will stop at nothing to claim the treasure for themselves.

From award-winning USA Today and multi-million copy bestselling author J. Robert Kennedy, Crypt of the Gladiator takes readers from the gladiatorial arenas of ancient Rome to a modern-day fight for survival. Buckle up for a non-stop thrill ride packed with action, humor, and a deadly game of cat and mouse.

James Acton is back. And this time, history isn’t the only thing at stake…
