     Michael is an academic of sorts, a cataloguer of ancient texts, everything from Greek to Egyptian. To some, it’s not exactly the most glamorous of professions, but for him it is a worthy endeavor. One day, a seemingly innocuous manuscript lands on his desk. Perhaps it’s a fake, perhaps not. Little does he know that this aged papyrus would launch him on a brazen adventure across multiple countries and linking many eras — involving not only himself, but also a plucky scientist, Anna, and the promise of a discovery that might shake our knowledge of what happened 2000 years ago to its very core.

Marcel Bertrand a French missile expert, who has been made redundant, is recruited to help them. 2 April 1982, Argentina invades the Falklands. Soon after, Lieutenant Jon Hunt flies his Lynx helicopter from HMS Prometheus with a Special Forces team to covertly infiltrate the Argentinian Air base at Rio Grande. His mission is to persuade Marcel who has been kept in the dark about the invasion, to agree to work for them. Once Jon explains the truth about the invasion Marcel and his girlfriend Maria agree to help and manage to modify the missiles warheads with a software update so that they won’t explode. As the war hots up, Argentina desperately tries to make their missiles more effective and the British try just as desperately to develop countermeasures. While down south, Jon Hunt discovers what it’s really like to fly in combat. Eventually Marcel and Maria find themselves in the Islands just as the British are closing in. A rescue attempt to get them out is led by Jon which culminates in a desperate encounter in the mountains surrounding Port Stanley just as the final fight for the Islands takes place around them.
