ISBN 9780345485779 9780345485786 9780340933442 0345485777 0345485785 0340933445 OCLC 156892029 ; SIGNED presentation by the author on the title page to Chief Justice George Holmes Carley 1938-2020. Carley's father Maj. George L. Carley Jr. 1908-1986 was a member of the United States Public Health Service and while posted in Rangoon Burma His son George Carley attended the eighth and ninth grades at the Woodstock School in Mussoorie India from 1951 to 1953. He himself served in the United States Army on active duty in 1956 and then in the Reserve until 1960. He received his A.B. from the University of Georgia in 1960 and his LL.B. from the University of Georgia School of Law in 1962 becoming a "Double Dawg". He married Sandra Marie Lineberger 1940-2025 a well-known Atlanta interior designer. George H. Carley was appointed to the Supreme Court of Georgia in 1993 by then-Gov. Zell Miller. In May 2012 he was sworn in as the 29th Chief Justice serving as leader of Georgia's judicial system until Dec. 31 2012 ; In 323 B.C.E having conquered Persia Alexander the Great set his sights on Arabia then suddenly succumbed to a strange fever. Locating his final resting place-unknown to this day-remains a tantalizing goal for both archaeologists and treasure hunters. Now the quest for this coveted prize is about to heat up. And Cotton Malone-former U.S. Justice Department agent turned rare-book dealer-will be drawn into an intense geopolitical chess game. After narrowly escaping incineration in a devastating fire that consumes a Danish museum Cotton learns from his friend the beguiling adventurer Cassiopeia Vitt that the blaze was neither an accident nor an isolated incident. As part of campaign of arson intended to mask a far more diabolical design buildings across Europe are being devoured by infernos of unnatural strength. And from the ashes of the U.S.S.R. a new nation has arisen: Former Soviet republics have consolidated into the Central Asian Federation. At its helm is Supreme Minister Irina Zovastina a cunning despot with a talent for politics a taste for blood sport and the single-minded desire to surpass Alexander the Great as history's ultimate conqueror. Backed by a secret cabal of powerbrokers the Federation has amassed a harrowing arsenal of biological weapons. Equipped with the hellish power to decimate other nations at will only one thing keeps Zovastina from setting in motion her death march of domination: a miraculous healing serum kept secret by an ancient puzzle and buried with the mummified remains of Alexander the Great-in a tomb lost to the ages for more than 1500 years. Together Cotton and Cassiopeia must outrun and outthink the forces alliedagainst them. Their perilous quest will take them to the shores of Denmark deep into the venerated monuments of Venice and finally high inside the desolate Pamir mountains of Central Asia to unravel a riddle whose solution could destroy or save millions of people-depending on who finds the lost tomb first. ; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> Ballantine Books, New York, ©2007 hardcover
