The Crypt Trilogy Bundle
The Crypt Trilogy follows the adventures of one unique, wealthy man with many identities. In "The Relic of the King" a London bookseller falls through a basement floor into an ancient crypt, discovering something that may change history. An astonishing set of diaries turns up, written by a monarch whom history says never existed.
"The Crypt of the Ancients" takes the protagonist into the jungles of Guatemala, where a rebel leader captures a busload of tourists and holds them for ransom. When he begins killing them one by one, something must be done quickly. A beautiful archaeology student discovers an astonishing connection between two civilizations and secrets in a cave that will help free the prisoners.
In "Ghost Train," our hero arrives in Berlin looking for clues about a rumored trainload of wealth stolen by the Nazis and hidden in a cavern. A cache that would fund Hitler's Fourth Reich lies hidden, and a Romanian family believes its patriarch has a coded diary that tells where he helped hide the train. Nothing is as it should be; a hundred-year-old murderer, a gypsy fortune-teller and greedy relatives lead Paul Silver on the most exciting adventure of his life - a search for the mysterious Ghost Train of the Nazis.

outrageously fun archaeology, but the bad guy wins!?
A good read, worth the time: protagonist Paul Silver/Roberto Maas presents appealingly as an Indiana Jones’s with eclectic tastes and a distinctly hard edge! However, I wanted Arthur publicly vindicated, and I thought the Russian oligarchs, slime-balls though they certainly were, should have taken out Silver and his Gypsy girlfriend, leaving the Nazi gold still hidden . . .
