Researcher Jane Percy Brown is fascinated by the extraordinarily vivid pictures of antiquities and artifacts taken by photographer Caulder Macgregor. Needing more material for his book, he asks her to come with him on his travels. But is there a deeper reason behind his search for the unusual? Is the sinister stranger who follows them the dangerous instigator of kidnapping and attempted murder? During exploration of strange, ancient places, three brave men, a Croatian, an Albanian and a Macedonian, are determined to protect Caulder and Percy and prevent a terrible destruction that could spread fear across the world.

Twenty-three essays by scholars from all over the world give a vivid portrayal of Georgia's heritage in history, literature and manuscript production, archaeology and art throughout prehistoric, classical and Christian periods up to the Early Modern Era. Over 150 objects are presented and their range is vast: Neolithic ceramics, intricately worked Bronze and Iron Age gold and silver, Greek and Roman jewellery, richly illuminated manuscripts, medieval paintings, cloisonne enamel and gold repousse work, and embroidery are illustrated."--Jacket.
