vanishes without a trace
243
Present-day Oxford. Young Alexander uncovers a disturbing truth while searching for his lost parents:
they were burnt to death in a freak accident
244
. Worse still, it appears that he is the sole survivor of an aristocratic dynasty, believed to have been cursed. Tracking down the location of his ancestral family home,
he finds it abandoned
245
For Alexander and his tutor, tempestuous accident-prone professor Frank Malone, this is just the start of a strange and dangerous quest. Breaking into the eerie mansion, they stumble across
the journals of the VIctorian baron
246
. The journals tell a compelling story of excavations on the Giza plateau. Determined to unearth the secrets of the Baron, the duo r
return to the mansion
247
Alexander: Hall of the Gods is a stirring tale of obsession and revenge that revolves around themes of
parapsychology, the occult and Egyptology
248
Baron Algernon Northgate had everything a British nobleman could want, as the 20th Century dawned: more money than he could possibly spend, a magnificent ancestral estate, a beautiful and loving wife, and two fine children. His life's passion, though, often took him away from his home and family. Algernon Northgate loved Egyptology to the point of ruthlessness. Eventually that love cost him
everything else.
249
A century and more after Algernon Northgate's unexplained disappearance and presumed death, a remarkable 11-year-old boy enters Lady Margaret Hall at Cambridge. Orphaned mysteriously and adopted by a loving but ordinary couple,
Alexander has just begun to remember more from his first years of life than his name.
250
Present day: Alexander, orphaned under mysterious circumstances, does not know where to turn when he unearths a terrible truth. Due to his phenomenal intellect, he successfully enrolls as an undergraduate at the University of Oxford at age
thirteen. Here begins a fateful relationship with tempestuous accident-prone academic Frank Malone.
251
Frank Malone's volcanic temper gets him into a lot of trouble. A road-rage incident leads to his abduction by three masked leather-clad assailants. Narrowly escaping with his life, he stumbles upon
a deserted house and finds an object that will ultimately lead Alexander on a strange and disturbing quest.
252
Alexander manages to unearth the location of his ancestral family home and journeys there with his tutor, Frank Malone. Breaking into the eerie abandoned mansion they
stumble across the journals of a Victorian Baron. The journals tell a compelling story.
253
Nineteenth century: Shortly after his initiation into the Brotherhood of Freemasons, Baron Algernon Northgate learns of the fabled ‘Lost Hall of Records’ in Egypt. The Hall is believed to
contain the secrets of a highly advanced civilisation, destroyed during the catastrophic global changes (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tidal waves and enormous rises in sea level) that occurred at the end of the last ice age. Determined to find the Hall of Records, the Baron spends many years in Egypt where he makes a number of remarkable discoveries.
254
Unfortunately for Baron Northgate, his uncovering of an ancient Egyptian tomb unleashes a deadly curse. Ultimately, Alexander finds out that he is the last surviving descendant of the Baron, and must
battle the curse or die. In a desperate race against time the boy must discover the origin of the curse and a way to defeat it. Things get progressively worse for the hapless Frank Malone and he ultimately becomes embroiled in Alexander's struggle to survive.
