A new state is rising from the ruins of the USSR. The former Soviet republics form the Central Asian Federation, led by Prime Minister Irina Zovastina, a cunning despot who is a devotee of blood sports and the history of ancient Greece. The Federation, backed by the Venetian League, a mysterious and powerful association, manages to amass a terrifying arsenal of biological weapons. Zovastina could decide at any moment to decimate the population of another country, but she is held back by the lack of an antidote that would guarantee her own safety.
The secret of this miraculous healing potion is guarded by an ancient riddle. Its solution lies hidden along with the mummified remains of Alexander the Great.
However, her search will be made difficult by Cotton Malone, a former agent of the US Department of Justice, now an antiquarian bookseller. To solve the riddle he will not hesitate to set off on a journey to the coast of Denmark, to historic Venice, and even to the remote Pamir mountains in Central Asia. He is well aware that uncovering the secret may bring millions of people either annihilation or salvation, depending on who is the first to find the lost tomb of Alexander the Great.
