Billionaire Dave Purdue buys an antique art piece, a tall cross monument, from a Finnish relic dealer. But the old cross holds a secret--literally. When the cross is struck by lightning, it reveals part of a treasure that urges Purdue to enlist the help of investigative journalist Sam Cleave to assist him on his search for the rest of it.When historian Dr. Nina Gould barely escapes with her life from an archeological dig in the Himalayas, she is compelled to return to the excavation to see what her team was prevented from discovering. The man who saved her life, archeologist Neville Padayachee, refuses to return there. Braving the freezing temperatures, she returns alone only to encounter what she perceives as a real-life yeti. Subsequently a captive, Nina is forced to steal a technological masterpiece from the same dig site she worked on.But when Purdue and Cleave locate her to assist them with the riddle of the antique cross and its inscriptions referring to the Norse god Odin, they find Nina delirious and on the brink of death with the peculiar device still in her possession. Her possession of the device ignites a dangerous excursion while she, Sam, and Purdue have to unravel the secret left by a Polish prisoner of war to his son after the Second World War. It is a secret that leads them to a grave mystery only perpetuated by conspiracy theorists. Trains buried with gold, hollow Earth theories and the myth of super men take on a whole new meaning when Nina, Sam, and Purdue discover the tomb of Odin and are intrigued to find what the currency of life really is.A word from the author: Hello and thank you for your interest in my book. It has come to my attention that some people have been mistaking my books for those written by the famous author duo Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. This is not the case. I wish to clarify that I am not, by any means, related to Douglas Preston or Lincoln Child, Lee Child or any other author called Preston Child. I hope this clears up the confusion. Tomb of Odin leads the reader on a roller-coaster ride in search of a legend. Packed with breathtaking suspense and nerve-shredding action, Tomb of Odin is a thrilling read for all fans of action, suspense, and intrigue.

For a long time studies on northern antiquarianism have focused on individual nations. This volume introduces this phenomenon in a transnational perspective. In the course of the 17th and 18th centuries, the Baltic Sea was at the centre of a culture of debate, whose networks encompassed numerous European centres of learning. When the countries around the Baltic began to explore their own antiquities in this period, the prevailing climate of competition between Sweden, Denmark, Russia and the German countries soon permeated the construction and presentation of their own pasts. Exploring the ancient literatures and monuments of Iceland, Sweden or Denmark, studying runic writings or the Sami tradition, the northern scholars were establishing an individual architecture of history, and so extending the horizon of their emerging nations both geographically and historically. The contributions in this volume provide case studies illustrating the role that scholarship, art and literature played in establishing and maintaining national claims around the Baltic Sea. The variety of methods combined for this purpose makes this book of interest to intellectual historians as well as historians of art and early modern science.
