The only clue to the idol's final resting place is to be found in a 400-year-old manuscript. Which introduces Professor William Race, a mild-mannered but brilliant young linguist who is unwillingly recruited to interpret the document that could lead to the idol itself. So begins the mission that will lead Race and his companions to a mysterious temple hidden in the foothills of the Andes.

But it is not until the silence of the temple is breached that Race and his team discover they have broken a golden rule . . . Some doors are meant to remain unopened.

For 4500 år siden prydede en slutsten af det pureste guld spidsen af Keopspyramiden. Den var et umiddelbart symbol på, men også kilden til, Egyptens magt og rigdom – angiveligt i stand til at skænke absolut globalt overherredømme til, hvem der end havde den i sin besiddelse ved tartaros-solplettens tilsynekomst. Efter ti år blev slutstenen delt i syv dele og gemt, hver del for sig, i tidens største monumenter – Verdens Syv Underværker. Nu nærmer tartarus sig igen, og det er tid til at finde de syv brudstykker og genskabe slutstenen. Alle drømmer om at besidde den – den mest magtfulde nation i verden, Den Katolske Kirke, europæiske nationer med drømme om fortidens magt og islamiske terrorister samt en alliance bestående af otte små nationer, som hver for sig ikke ville have en chance for at få fat i slutstenen. Anført af den karismatiske kaptajn Jack West Jr. kaster en lille eliteenhed bevæbnet med højteknologiske våben sig ud i et eventyr uden sammenligning på en international kampplads fyldt med tusind år gamle fælder. Det er et kapløb imod såvel overmagt som tiden, men de har ikke noget valg – de bliver nødt til at finde de syv brudstykker, og for at gøre det, må de først finde de forsvundne underværker.
