"When most of the NUMA crew is exposed to a dangerous substance called the Black Mist, they fall into a deathlike sleep. With their own men and women on the line, Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala must race to find a cure buried in ancient Egyptian lore. Desperate to save their friends, they'll place their trust in a mysterious new ally, a doctor who knows more than she lets on. But this may not be their only sacrifice, as Kurt and Joe learn that the Black Mist is only part of the terror in store for those who would oppose Osiris. After all, it's called the City of the Dead for a reason." -- Page [4] cover.
Kurt and Joe tangle with the most determined enemy they've ever encountered when a ruthless powerbroker schemes to build a new Egyptian empire as glorious as those of the Pharaohs. Part of his plan rests on the manipulation of a newly discovered aquifer beneath the Sahara, but an even more devastating weapon at his disposal may threaten the entire world: a plant extract known as the Black Mist, discovered in the City of the Dead and rumored to have the power to take life from the living and restore it to the dead. With the balance of power in Africa and Europe on the verge of tipping, Kurt, Joe, and the rest of the NUMA team will have to fight to discover the truth behind the legends -- but to do that, they have to confront in person the greatest legend of them all: Osiris, the ruler of the Egyptian underworld.
