- Synopsis The Last Odyssey James Rollins
Rome, 1515.
Browsing through the manuscripts preserved in the Vatican Archives, Leonardo da Vinci comes across a wonderful Arabic code, a treatise on mechanical engineering dating back to the 9th century.

The mission of the research team led by Dr. Elena Cargill is to shed light on an exceptional discovery: a medieval ship buried under the ice. In the captain's cabin, Elena discovers a strange golden artifact, clearly Arabic made, which appears to be a sort of mechanical map.

The Sigma Force is on high alert: Senator Cargill's daughter is missing, and it's the job of Painter Crowe and her team to get her home safe and sound. Gray Pierce immediately sets out on the trail of the kidnappers, in a mad pursuit across the Mediterranean, and little by little he realizes that those men are retracing the ancient route taken by Ulysses to reach the Tartarus sung by Homer, a place that scientists and sovereigns have searched in vain for centuries, drawn by the promise of power beyond all imagination. The gates of hell are about to open ...
James Rollins (1985) veterinarian by profession, at some point in his life he abandoned his job to devote himself to his passions: caving, diving and, of course, writing.
