Description
The definitive versions of the first two books in Australian author Richard Dive's epic Holder of the Key series, collected in a single volume, and available for the first time in the United States and internationally. In 2014, the journey begins anew.
THE HOLDER OF THE KEY (REDUX)
There are countless legends that have been lost to this world, but none more important than those of the Elysian Gifts. Civilizations rose and fell in their wake, and the hunt for these coveted artefacts, which hold a power that could change the course of history, has begun anew.
An indestructible key, an indecipherable language, an ancient seal broken only by the blood of one who has been chosen, and a warning: they must never come together
Young researcher Adam Thorne finds himself drawn into the search for these mysterious Elysian Gifts, a search that has spanned from before the dawn of Rome to the present day, under the wing of billionaire business magnate Lucius Hart. Adam and his team will soon learn that there is a great deal more to these artefacts than can be seen on the surface, great powers, and secret histories long forgotten. It begin in an ancient shrine hidden deep within the Mojave Desert.
THE ALPHA INITIATIVE (REDUX)
A break in at one of the most secure facilities in the world, data worth billions stolen, and Hart Industries has been made to look like fools. The culprits: a notorious terrorist organization known as The Alpha Initiative, a black ops cell with an unknown agenda. They are responsible for dozens of domestic and international attacks, and are believed to be composed of the best soldiers the world has ever seen. Anyone who has ever worked for Lucius Hart is in great danger, and Adam Thorne and his team, working on Hart's mysterious Holders Project, have been targeted.
The discovery of two Elysian shrines in the barren tundra of Nunavut will lead Adam and company to the desolate region of Canada, where they face threats both ancient and new, and will see the rise of a dangerous rival in their quest to find the Elysian Gifts. Guided by visions from the Key of Elysia, Adam begins to question his sanity as he relives the memories of those who held the artefacts before him.
