Underwater archaeologist Jack Howard is back with a dangerous mission to uncover a shocking secret which could rewrite history . . .In 1890, a British soldier emerges from the depths of a Cairo sewer.

Dismissed as a madman who has lost his mind in the desert, his story was lost to the world. Until now . . .When a colleague of Jack Howard's stumbles across the soldier's story, the mention of a 'blinding shaft of light' captures Jack's attention and resurrects the forgotten ramblings.
