Though scattered aeons ago, it is believed that once the Pieces are reunited they will show the way to the Tomb of the Gods- the greatest archaeological find of all time. From a rocket attack on the Louvre to a battle in a Swedish cavern, from a daring helicopter raid on New York’s National History Museum to an assault on a gangsters mansion in Hawaii, Matt Drake must find the world’s oldest treasure in one of the wildest places on earth, searching for the very bones of the Gods with the spoils of victory being the entire world.
2) The Blood King Conspiracy. Matt Drake takes his thirst for adventure to an even higher level when an incredible device dating back millennia is salvaged from Blackbeard’s ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge. With the answer to the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle in their hands, America is attacked on its own soil by the Blood King – an underworld figure so powerful his very existence is a mere myth: a man who coerces people at the highest levels of government and society; a man who sends an army to first storm a USS Destroyer, guarded by hundreds of marines and Special Forces soldiers, and then to steal the secret of the Bermuda Triangle – a source of power that will allow its owner to hold any civilised government to ransom. Matt Drake and his friends must follow a treasure trail through rich pirate history that leads beyond the death of Blackbeard himself, through modern sea battles and warfare on the streets of Key West, to a show-down with the most dangerous, well-connected and feared man in the world – the Blood King.

Revenge, terrible and personal drives Drake in his quest to stop the man who has become his nemesis. The mercenary, Boudreau, now in the hands of his enemies, sits stone-faced and unflinching as Hayden Jaye desperately tries to extract the information she needs to save the lives of hundreds. After several failed attempts she becomes painfully aware it’s going to take extreme measures to make him talk. Meanwhile, the Blood King finally sets into motion his long-term plan to enter the Gates of Hell and finish something his idol, Captain Cook, could never do: discover the shocking secrets hidden within, while launching multiple terrorist attacks and an all-out war against the islands of Hawaii. With nothing more than an ancient map left behind by Captain Cook, Drake and his team must follow the Blood King through a deadly maze in the heart of a volcano. He risks everything to track down the most dangerous man of modern times and help unravel the mysteries surrounding the bones of Odin.
4) The Tomb of the Gods. In the epic conclusion of the initial 4 part series Matt Drake races against time to prevent Odin’s horrifying doomsday device from being unleashed upon the world. From the destruction of an LA skyscraper to a desperate battle on board a Swiss train, from a crazy car chase through Hollywood to a covert assault on a secret SAS base, Matt Drake and his team ignite a blazing trail of destruction as they chase madmen and traitors across the globe. On a furious, action-packed battlefield, alongside soldiers ready to fight and die for their cause, Matt Drake and his entire team join together and charge fearlessly into the jaws of death.
5) Brothers in Arms. A new agency, a new era, and Matt Drake goes head to head with the government of North Korea.

Back home, the clock is ticking, but the deadly jigsaw puzzle of events refuses to fit together. Assassins stalk the streets of Washington DC. Civilians are being murdered by ordinary-seeming Americans turned expert killers, and for no apparent reason. Hayden and her team search for the fateful link between five total strangers. Mai, almost single-handedly, tries to capture the enemy island, and Drake storms his way over land from North Korea and across China and Europe, destroying a human trafficking ring on the way.

The battle for the survival of the human race begins in ancient Babylon, where Alexander the Great discovered and warned of a second way to activate Odin’s doomsday device. His solution was to forge seven swords of Babylon and connect them to the Tower of Babel. Drake’s team enter a deadly race to find and discover how to use these swords to combat the catastrophically powerful weapon of the gods before it’s too late. If they fail and the doomsday device is activated, the world will burn. Through high camaraderie, betrayal, and endless twists and turns, the team launch a rescue attempt for Drake, then face skirmishes in Russia’s Red Square, and fights among the ruins of Babylon until they come to a final desperate battle where all three tombs and the darkest black hole in existence – the ancient Pit of Babylon – have to be assaulted simultaneously.
