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.


當一名冷酷無情的權貴密謀建立與法老王時代一樣輝煌的新埃及帝國時，科特和喬第一次與這麼頑強的敵人交手。他計劃控制撒哈拉沙漠地底新發現的蓄水層，但是他手中握有另一樣更可怕的武器，足以對全世界造成威脅。這毀滅性的武器是一種在亡者之城發現的植物萃取物──黑迷霧，據說這種萃取物能吸取活人的生命，吸取來的生命能讓死者復活。非洲和歐洲的勢力平衡瀕臨崩毀，科特、喬、和國家水下與海洋組織團隊將奮力發掘傳奇故事背後的真相。但是要揭露真相，他們必須親自對抗史上最偉大的傳奇神祇：埃及地底世界的統治者—─歐西里斯。
