*** FROM USA TODAY & MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR J. ROBERT KENNEDY ***
AN INCIDENT ON THE HIGH SEAS RISKS WAR BETWEEN THE USA AND CHINA.
AND AN INNOCENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL TEAM IS CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE.
Almost two-thousand years ago, the Roman Empire established its first embassy in Han China, and something went horribly wrong, the mission now a mere footnote in history.
And today, in London, a shocking discovery is made that may be linked to those unfortunate events, and the proof could lie in the ancient capital of the Han Empire.
In a hunt for the truth, Archaeology Professors James Acton and Laura Palmer travel to China to investigate a stunning discovery—the ruins of the doomed Roman Embassy. As they arrive, a terrifying incident between two of the world’s most powerful militaries unfolds, sending not only the globe into a panic, but an innocent team of archaeologists fleeing for their lives.
It is a race against time to find safe-harbor before war is declared, and the innocent become pawns in what could devolve into World War Three.
In Embassy of the Empire, award winning and USA Today bestselling author J. Robert Kennedy once again mixes history and today’s headlines in a shocking international thriller sure to leave you burning through the pages into the late hours. If you enjoy fast-paced adventures in the style of Dan Brown, Clive Cussler, and James Rollins, then you’ll love this thrilling tale of archaeological intrigue.

Consistent with what we have come to expect from a James Acton novel - action, humour and relevant to today's news. If not for work getting in the way, would have read in one sitting - very hard to put down. The only thing missing for me was Delta Force - more of a cameo-role this time.

Another 5* read.

Another fantastic adventure with our favourite archeology professors, James Acton & Laura Palmer. Every story in this series teaches us a little history, tied in with modern day headlines, and this is no exception.
From ancient China to Britannia, and a forbidden love, to modern day China & the USA, and their unstable relationship, Embassy Of The Empire is full of the usual action, suspense, camaraderie and humour that we've come to expect from Rob Kennedy.
Don't expect a relaxing read; I finished it in two sessions because I had to know what happened next!

This book by Kennedy had a few different twists. As always it reads quite quickly and has a good amount of history. I look forward to the next book from Kennedy.
